For as bad as Klinsmann has been tactically in this cycle, he still does a great job getting those dual-nationals cap tied. There's more to the long game though than 'crootin.

Work rate tonight was exceptional.

 

[jlb1705]

That's fine. As long as you're being an honest hater.

Long game so long as you agree with it, fair enough.

Well, yeah. The fact that I disagree was kind of the point of having the opinion in the first place.

 

[Smudger]

Alright U-23's, let's do this shit!

 

[TooTall]

With high mileage. I was kidding.

(Took me a long time but I came to really appreciate Damarcus, but he's given all he can give)

Would love to have someone as experiences and versatile as he has been for the US. What a lot of people need to understand, is that Jurgen has had to replace more talent in his tenure than the last two international bosses combined. Once those guys get more comfortable and develop more chemistry together, I have no doubt the team will see much more success. Ethan Finlay is, without a doubt, a perfect successor to Landon Donovan on the right side. His future is bright for the national team.

It's finding guys like that to replace players who were thought to be irreplaceable that will get more positive vibes from the fans.

Except your "for the good of the program" was bullshit

U-23's need to be aggressive in this game. They can't just sit back and hope for a 0-0 draw..

 

[scarletmike]

That was almost a disastrous mistake!

 

[scarletmike]

U-23s can't keep possession to get a good attack.

Well, that's it. The crootin is critical if you're going to have a broad player pool of internationals.

 

[Smudger]

That was inevitable. Going to have to go for it now...

 

[scarletmike]

Shit. I feel like goal #2 is imminent.

 

[TooTall]

Need to punch back..

 

[scarletmike]

Horvath has been pretty good in goal tonight.

 

[Smudger]

Same story as the U-20 WC last summer: Hyndman is trash on set-pieces. His service is terrible.
