USMNT: To Rüssia With Love

[Jed Zeppelin]

The fuck happened there.

 

[OCST]

Crsp

 

[Doug Beerabelli]

Oh, that's sucks.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Well, that didn't take long.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Ream with some real kiddie stuff there.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Bradley with the super ups and Ream turning his head as the ball arrive. Just great.

 

[luckiestman]

This whole production is very amateur hour. Do they not fly in a decent camera crew?

 

[trekfan55]

Is it safe for me to show up?

 

[InstaFace]

Bradley with the super ups and Ream turning his head as the ball arrive. Just great.

he seriously closed his eyes and turned away, angling his body towards the goal. He made like 5 errors there in the span of half a second.

whatever, we're winning this (extremely CONCACAF-y) game.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

Villafaña was caught ball-watching on the knock-down. Really the first time I've seen him put a foot wrong over the last 135 minutes; unfortunately, it landed in the back of the net.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Is it safe for me to show up?

Just not studs up please!

Kidding, kidding.

 

[InstaFace]

Is it safe for me to show up?

(kidding, love ya)

 

[trekfan55]

Just not studs up please!

Kidding, kidding.

I laughed.

 

[Titans Bastard]

In Ream's defense, his chested ball to Gabriel Gomez was a classy assist.

 

[luckiestman]

Is it safe for me to show up?

 

[OCST]

whatever, we're winning this (extremely CONCACAF-y) game.

I'd like to think so but the ripple effect on the defense from Cameron being out is obvious. Every Panama threat is an adventure.

 

[dirtynine]

I need to watch more BeIN. It reminds me of the old Fox Sports World days.

Wikipedia tells me that Mitch Peacock currently does radio PBP for the Manitoba Moose.

 

[Infield Infidel]

This feels like one of those Hex nights where Mexico gets a lucky win and the other two games are draws

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

I need to watch more BeIN. It reminds me of the old Fox Sports World days.

Last I knew, Terri Leigh was working for them.

 

[Infield Infidel]

welcome to the club. I've been watching Newcastle on beIN online all season. It's oddly palatable

 

[McBride11]

Nice run by Nagbe, wish he had laid it off about 30 seconds sooner

 

[dirtynine]

Last I knew, Terri Leigh was working for them.

I think that's right. Funny enough, Jeremy St. Louis (married to Terri Leigh, naturally) bought shirts from me for both of them before the 2014 WC.

 

[dirtynine]

If Panama doesn't do it first, Pulisic might hurt himself. Not sure how he made his body do that endline cross.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Even Jermaine was like "oh fuck I'm open" there.

 

[OCST]

Timmeh

 

[McBride11]

Wheewwww. Timmeh still has some magic

 

[OCST]

Bradley is back into "I know, I'll do a backpass" mode

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Bradley just did the same fucking thing as Ream. Keep your eye on the fucking ball.

 

[Titans Bastard]

We need to change up something in the midfield. We need to assert more control over this game or something bad is going to happen.

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

They need to keep some possession. This second half has been brutal.

What subs should we make? I want Jones off.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Things must be dire if we're relying on Ream distributing the ball out of the back on this pitch. Tense moments every time he touches it.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Is Jones in good form or something? I was trying to figure out why it was a foregone conclusion that he would start next to Bradley, and then he started next to Bradley, and then it turned out exactly as expected.

 

[OCST]

Shut up, Grace Jones

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

And we get even slower with Bedoya. Tighter defensively at least.

 

[McBride11]

We need to change up something in the midfield. We need to assert more control over this game or something bad is going to happen.

There we go!! Nagbe off, Bedoya on! All is well

 

[InstaFace]

There we go!! Nagbe off, Bedoya on! All is well

Klinsi out!

 

[Titans Bastard]

I really, really wish Bobby Wood were available for this game.

 

[OCST]

I'm getting angry because it's easy to pick out Bradley's bald head, and every time I watch him he's wandering around aimlessly

 

[McBride11]

Klinsi out!

Wait til Wondo subs CP

 

[OCST]

Wait til Wondo subs CP

be quiet

 

[OCST]

I don't know Acosta that well. What's the conventional wisdom on him?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

I'm getting angry because it's easy to pick out Bradley's bald head, and every time I watch him he's wandering around aimlessly

He bought low in no-man's land and is simply waiting until it becomes valued territory before selling to move elsewhere.

 

[Infield Infidel]

Kellyn Acosta Era is on

 

[Titans Bastard]

Acosta for Jones. 15 mins left.

 

[luckiestman]

Bradley trying to pass the ball forward is like Chuck Knoblauch trying to throw to first base

 

[McBride11]

Is that a poll on Universo NBC that asked is Bradley in the right position? (it was in spanish). 80% voted no

I think the question was "was it a Bradley hand in the penalty area?" I think.

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

Has Altidore done anything tonight? I don't think I've heard his name called once.

He has been totally invisible tonight.
