NFT: USMNT vs Mexico Gold Cup Final

Zeke's Alibi : 7/7/2019 7:36 pm
Anything less than a competitive game should be considered a huge hit to the state of the program considering the players that each country have called up to this Gold Cup.

Why isn't their VAR? I don't get what the reasoning is behind  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/7/2019 10:27 pm : link
that.
I think Morris heard all thebitching about him

did they change the rule

about the ball clearing the box on a goal kick?
Yes they did Jon.

US slowly getting pinned back into their own third
How many more passes

is Bradley going to give away?
And Morris is out thankfully.

Roldan on for Morris

Fuck..

we'll have a Zardes sighting
Is there an alternative to Bradley?  
flycatcher : 7/7/2019 10:38 pm : link
Lima? Boyd?
Man Greg really doesn't like Boyd. Unless he's hurt.

The problem isnthe only alternative to Bradley is Trapp

puke
Bradley needs to come out even if its Trapp

Sargent shouldn't have been left off this roster.

Would have been the perfect opportunity to bring him on instead of Zardes.
Questions for the Soccer Experts  
Samiam : 7/7/2019 10:44 pm : link
If the World Cup was coming up soon, is this approximately the team
that would represent the USA? Are there good young players who will be ready in a year or 2 who are better than the team playing tonight? Hard for me to believe Bradley is the best we have at his position.

Last question, Klinsman had brought over 4-5 players from Germany who had dual citizenship. Are any of them still playing?
The biggest issue holding back this team is we don't  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/7/2019 10:47 pm : link
have a replacement for Bradley.

Pulisic getting shadowed pretty much is the end of our attacking.
There's the Mexican breakthrough  
dpinzow : 7/7/2019 10:47 pm : link
the goal was coming
Wes is gassed covering for Bradley.  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/7/2019 10:48 pm : link

That may be good enough  
dep026 : 7/7/2019 10:48 pm : link
Michael Bradley is useless out there. Looks like he runs in cement.
SO  
Jon in NYC : 7/7/2019 10:48 pm : link
STEFFEN DOESNT FEEL LIKE JUMPING HUH?
Steffen..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/7/2019 10:48 pm : link
caught flat-footed on a dinker.
Bradley beat again and again  
section125 : 7/7/2019 10:48 pm : link
and he cannot cover anyone and there it is a goal. If you are to stupid to see he is an absolute drag on this team, you should be fired as a coaching staff.

This is a team in rebuild mode from the Dempsey/Bradley/Howard era.

There is a lot of dead weight right now on this team. None of the German players are on the team anymore. I am sad that they seem to be looking inward more to mls alum than to euro players. i dunno maybe the talent just isn't there. this program is in flux now and they need to find two or more with the talent and pedigree of pulisic and mckennie. And Bradley looks done,.

Steffen has to do better than that. A mini-blunder on his part as he had an opportunity to save it and didn't come close
Mexico targeted Bradley all half and it has had a cascading effect  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/7/2019 10:51 pm : link
on the whole team. If Greg doesn't see that he needs to get fired stat.
Steffen..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/7/2019 10:52 pm : link
can't be caught not able to jump. He saw the ball and didn't even attempt to leave his fee tor reach up.

That was a very weak goal.
I don't know..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/7/2019 10:54 pm : link
if Greg sees certain things. Bradley has looked done this entire tournament. Zardes has done nothing. And he doesn't have a true replacement for Bradley on the bench. That's on him.

At least we've been competitive in this match and outplayed Mexico in the first half
what channel is this game on

Why does Bradley always pass backwards?  
dep026 : 7/7/2019 10:54 pm : link
Even at Mexico’s end, he just turns and kicks backwards without pressure.

It’s raining pretty bad here in Tallahassee so I lost power. I hope you're not talking about the “I believe we can.....” commercial that aired right after they won. Cause that shit was epic!

thank you, amazing I had to ask and couldn't find anywhere online.
Fatman it just sucks because Bradley is having that much of an effect  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/7/2019 10:57 pm : link
on the game. It will be the same against any decent team. Also why Roldon and not Boyd? Like yeh we were attacking great, but you still need to finish and Boyd adds that dimension. Sargent would have too.
The backup  
Jon in NYC : 7/7/2019 10:58 pm : link
to Bradley is Will Trapp, who is so much worse.

Agree to disagree then because I loved it.
US comes very close on the corner  
dpinzow : 7/7/2019 11:02 pm : link
Ochoa does just enough to keep the US out
So when does Bradley retire from Int'l competition?  
jgambrosio : 7/7/2019 11:05 pm : link
Yea he's got his cross passes but ruins far too many others
90th minute  
section125 : 7/7/2019 11:05 pm : link
Bradley wide open and passes to two Mexican players.
The Bradley Era needs to end. Give some other people a shot  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/7/2019 11:05 pm : link
Cannon wasn't even going to make this roster until a late injury and look what he's done with it.
Bradley with a 3/10 today

completely off the pace and that's being kind

I know the US committed more fouls  
jgambrosio : 7/7/2019 11:08 pm : link
but damn the ref ruined this game for us. How no one got a card on the faceplant on Altidore and the choke on McKennie is beyond me.
Mexico hand ball at  
section125 : 7/7/2019 11:09 pm : link
the top of the box - uncalled...wow. Pulisic run over from behind and he gets called.

But Bradley is useless and the US is down one man when he is on the pitch. Give him the gold watch, a hardy handshake and see you later.
What pisses me off the most is none of these stooges  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/7/2019 11:14 pm : link
post game are going to call out Bradley.

Unfortunately, that's consistent for CONCACAF

In World Cup qualifying for the last Cup, the US had several games where they had players pushed, shoved or even hit after the whistle and it was let go. Intentional fouls from behind didn't even draw cards. That didn't really impact the game though tonight.

They missed too many chances. It just sucks that Mexico stopped shooting the ball 30 feet high and hit a fluke off-speed shot that steffen inexplicably watched.
What is concerning is that all it took was Mexico to  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/7/2019 11:19 pm : link
start attacking Bradley and start shadowing Pulisic and we looked less than competent.
