U.S. Men's National Soccer (Official Thread)

Haiti has better dribbling skills than anyone on the US and that is sad.

Luckily they can't shoot for sht

You mean to tell me that dribbling directly into three players then kicking the ball into one of their chests isn't a useful skill?

Bradley is wasted as a CDM and Dempsey has had to come back way too deep just to get the ball. Bring on Beckerman for Jozy so you can move both of them up the pitch. Also, sub pretty much any other winger on the bench for Mix.

Jozy is useless. If I see him give away the ball and just sulk one more time, I am going to scream.

 

[tAFKaT]

Jozy is out.

 

[tAFKaT]

Goal!

That should be the end of Jozy's Gold Cup. He gets subbed for a living, breathing footballer and a goal comes almost instantly.

Unless his attitude improves. He should not see the field as an USMNT player again.

Mix seems to have taken up a position of some sort, allowing Bradley to play a more advanced role.

 

[jlb1705]

Mix is no CDM though, as that counterattack just proved. Beckerman is the only one in the squad, and he's old and was ineffective in the last match.

 

[Bucklion]

US would be down 7-1 to an average Euro side right now...way too many counters allowed

 

[jlb1705]

Haiti should be winning.

 

[OHSportsFan]

You bring shame to the name, Greg.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Back to back 2 of the worst performances I can remember out of US Soccer.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Lucky they didn't set up goals on each of the corners or Haiti would be rollin' the Americans.

 

[jlb1705]

My wife just asked, "Is Haiti good? They look really good."

 

[Honor&Glory]

I am not a soccer fan but after years of rolling my eyes at it I am at least trying to root for the national teams and learn about the game. My question to you guys is this: is Haiti supposed to be capable of putting this much pressure on the U.S.? Since I've been watching this game they appear to be able to do whatever they want...except shoot.
