You should it was a perfectly apt analogy. Lebron James is indisputably the mos talented player in basketball in the world. Messi has been considered the undisputed best player in futbol in the world. Lebron James OWNED the US Olympics in 2012, and even in the last series where the Heat played LIKE SHIT and got BLOWN out three consecutive games Lebron was literally the best player on the court, from either team, even though his team lost. I just haven't seen that from Messi in this Cup..

i don't think they are. they have a lot of individual quality but as a team they're still a no go. if they shape up in time though...

Isn't the Quarters about time already?

Btw... GO USA!!!!

I stand totally corrected!

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

EXACTLY what I was worried about. !@#$%! is right that against Belgium we should attack more, indeed we've had the ball more than them but they are shooting the shit out of us, 8-2!!

Even worse, whenever we get into the penalty area and it looks like we may be about to get some good scoring opportunity, somebody fumbles the ball around and its a broken play and Belgium gets the takeway.

!@#$%!, are you watching?? This is what I warned you about if USA relies on a heavy attack.. we just don't have the creativity or the footwork. Look at some of the best goals of this Cup, they all came from opening up something explosive near the goal. The US just doesn't have that..

Also, the debate should be settled. Landon Donovan > Clint Dempsey PERIOD. Landon, put on the deal with it meme shades

 

 

Props to how we play better as a team, move the ball better midfield, can actually control a possession until... we try to score

[!@#$%!]

shit, this has been an exciting first half

my favorite US players so far are damarcus and deandre yedlin.

bradley has to be the most uncreative trequartista on the planet. the anti-maradona. he makes decent passes from the midfield but upfront he chokes.

BRING IN JOZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4-4-1-1

[Rob Instigator]

tense! So many goals in Group round and so few in the round of 16!

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

Bradley isn't about creating, he is about being in the middle as an anchor. His defense is good and he is at least always on the ball.. We need some better offense. Bring in Diskerud or Wondo.. Definitely try Jozy though since he isn't playing I'm not sure he is healthy enough to play. Honestly USA has been the WORST offense in the World Cup (statistically and aesthetically) but this is largely been a result of the absence of Jozy, we're just not the same team without him on the pitch..

Dempsey?? Not cutting it. We dropped Landon Donovan for that?? Meh!

It has been an exciting first half BUT only if you're rooting for (a) Belgium or (b) USA defense to get some good defensive stops and saves

he doesn't anchor for shit unless he's low on the midfield. up top he's just confusing. dempsey needs a partner, and golden child is as skilled as a 3-legged giraffe.

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

He has been playing out of position if you hadn't noticed, I'm talking about what Bradley NORMALLY does, and what is his skill set.

Also, I think the debate is officially settled,

Landon > Dempsey

When we had Landon AND Dempsey they could create off of each other, but one minus the other and the entire offense suffers so I hope Jurgen is proud of himself, with Landon in we actually could beat Belgium

Literally the ONLY team worse offensively in this World Cup was Honduras!! And it was just barely at that!! That is frankly embarrassing.

I think its been hurting our defense BUT clearly our offense (in regards to passing and possession) has markedly improved..

[!@#$%!]

shit fuck dog fuck

we're inviting a goal

we need an outlet up

MAKE A CHANGE GODDAMMIT

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

By the way y'all keep shitting on the wrong dude shitting on Bradley. WHERE THE FUCK IS DEMPSEY??? IS HE EVEN PLAYING?? Funny, if he is I hadn't noticed

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

Bring In Wondo Or Brooks Or Diskerud And Put Fucking Clint Out Of His Misery Already!!! This Game Is Getting Painful To Watch

[!@#$%!]

no titbrains no!!

bring in jozy for the finish

take out golden child

switch to 4-4-1-1

give dempsey a partner

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

Clearly Jozy isn't coming yo, accept that and move on. If you think Clint should stay in this match you're fucking crazy.. Bradley had a great take away, it got passed down to Clint in the penalty area? What happened? Oh right, clint was running so damned sloooooooow that the ball almost sailed right past him. Another wasted opportunity.


STOP DISSING BRADLEY, HE HAS NOT BEEN THE PROBLEM.


Fuck that. I love Clint, but the guy is playing shit futbol and somebody has to say it. Yes, OF COURSE Jozy being out has been the crucial difference, but next man up , no excuses.

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

Finally Some Fucking Wondo Time!!!!! Hopefully he can pick up and give us that boost we need offensively.. maybe even motivate Clint to step the fuck up or sit the fuck down..

hapless fucker can only pass backwards

he's a midfielder, but not on the attack.

NOT IN THE LAST 3RD

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

FOR THE LAST TIME BRADLEY'S JOB ISN'T USUALLY ATTACK, HE HAS BEEN PLAYING OUT OF POSITION, AND VERY ABLY AT THAT. He has been the most consistent ball handler and a top defender.. If you're asking him to attack its YOU who fucked up, expecting a player to do more than they are capable of.

Who on the roster do you suggest replace him exactly?

klinsi already pulled him back and put wondo up w/ clint.

fuck now gonzalez hurt. shit!

if he goes out, pull back cameron and put in beckerman

[SuchFriendsAreDangerous]

good, pull him back into where he is more comfortable.. for once we agree on this, USA needs to ATTACK!!!!

One thing about when USA has Landon, we attack ably enough AT THE LEAST to get a lot of good corner kicks..
