Copa America game thread

[Jed Zeppelin]

Credit where it's due. Bradley with a nice first touch and turn there.

Canceled out by horrid 3rd touch.

 

[teddykgb]

I'm sure some of it is that Argentina have taken their foot off the gas a fair amount but this has been better.

suck it messi. Yedlin is better than you at ONE THING

Nobody can touch the USMNT in dudes who can run fast in a straight line without the ball.

 

[McBride11]

He did well to get the first one. You can blame him for giving up the rebound but it would have been nice to have a defender within 15 yards to help him out

Ya. I was happy for Guzan. My shit phone is killing me. D disnt help

Yedlin got wheels!!

 

[teddykgb]

Birnbaum? 3 at the back? Not Besler?

 

[Cellar-Door]

Cameron to midfield?
Edit-yep.

 

[teddykgb]

What a dumb fucking sub. Christ.

 

[McBride11]

Why not Besler over Birnbaum? The proven international player

 

[Titans Bastard]

No faith in Nagbe at all.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

He doesn't have his man strength yet but Pulisic holds his own and has no problem getting his hands dirty.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Down 3-0 I want the younger guy who might make Russia (and I think Birnbaum sucks)

Al Davis would be proud.

 

[Silverdude2167]

Maybe if they all get hurt the US can pull back a goal

 

[Investor 11]

Looked like it could be a nasty broken arm

 

[Ed Hillel]

LOL

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

No faith in Nagbe at all.

Amazing given how terrible this midfield has been tonight.

 

[ifmanis5]

Jeez. That was ugly.

 

[teddykgb]

If Beckerman can't go 90 in that position and you're going to have to sub him then play Kitchen or start the match with Cameron there. It's far too likely that JK's subs were going to have to be really tactical. You can't afford to plan to sub your holding midfielder in a match like this with only 3 subs.

 

[lars10]

What sucks with Lavezzi is a this point you can't tell if he's hurt or not... That looked like it hurt though.

 

[McBride11]

Oh shit
Hope Lavezzi is ok

 

[Ed Hillel]

Less funny now. That arm is fucked

Maybe dislocated elbow they popped back in?

 

[Cellar-Door]

Looked like he was pointing at the metal support to say he hit it on the way down.

 

[Bailey10]

Broken or dislocated left arm. Was just hanging limp at his side in the aerial view.

 

[Clears Cleaver]

Total domination

 

[OCST]

OMFG Bradley is awful

 

[Titans Bastard]

 

[teddykgb]

Jones would have certainly hurt someone by now

 

[Ed Hillel]

The stretcher for an arm injury was interesting.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Bradley can't even serve a ball into the box with no pressure. Good competition and he goes squirrel.

 

[lars10]

The stretcher for an arm injury was interesting.

I think people were initially worried he hit his head.. but it's also probably a lot easier to support your arm if you aren't walking.

 

[Soxfan in Fla]

That was pretty ugly for Lavezzi.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

The sooner we find a Bradley replacement the better off we'll be. Dude hit a plateau years ago and is now declining rapidly as he approaches 30. I have no confidence that he should be a part of our best 11 in Russia but I also have no faith in JK having the balls to yank him.

 

[McBride11]

Has Dempsey had 3 touches?

 

[Silverdude2167]

That long red pass was his best of the night.
To bad it from the attacking third to the defending third stopping a build up and leading to Messi's freekick goal....

 

[Soxfan in Fla]

Bradley can't even serve a ball into the box with no pressure. Good competition and he goes squirrel.

Bradley truly sucks against remotely good competition internationally. I can't believe they can't find someone better than him.

 

[OCST]

Donovan crapping on the team for not taking chances, but how can you take chances when you can't develop anything? Has Dempsey even touched the ball once?

 

[Investor 11]

Did they switch Pulisic to the other side of the field?

 

[teddykgb]

The one(s) better than him are playing defense.

Who is out there to replace him? He has killed everything he has touched this game.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Total head case. I imagine he's out there hearing Bob's voice in his mind every time he steps up for his next terrible free kick.

 

[McBride11]

Looks that way. RM now. Gz left, presumably
Following messi

 

[Investor 11]

Landon with some great insight there. "Goals change games."

 

[Cellar-Door]

Hey guys... I think goals might change games.

 

[jaba]

"I've always said goals change games." You think so, landon?

 

[teddykgb]

Landon with some great insight there. "Goals change games."

Somebody should tell him that players who aren't on sabbatical also change games

 

[McBride11]

Uhh nice touch Bradley to spring the counter for Arg

 

[Cellar-Door]

Bradley bad gamble ass saved by Brooks.

 

[Cellar-Door]

SHOOT THAT SHIT

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Yedlin has his best game of the tourney against Argentina, go figure.

 

[Soxfan in Fla]

Who is out there to replace him? He has killed everything he has touched this game.

He's like Isiah Thomas, former Piston. Kills everything he touches.
