If they can get past some of these blocks they might be onto something.

Have to make the set pieces work...damn! So close.

 

[jlb1705]

Oh, damn. They're on the right track now.

 

[jlb1705]

That's as open as you get. Maybe too open, because it didn't surprise the keeper at all.

 

[scarletmike]

Smarter passes...

 

[jlb1705]

I wonder if Diskerud might cope with the Mexican press a little better. I think he might offer a better chance to unlock them in midfield with a quick decision.

 

[scarletmike]

Damn, that was beautiful on Fabian Johnson's part if he could have made a better pass on the end of it.

 

[jlb1705]

Good skill by Fabian... was just missing the completed pass at the end.

 

[jlb1705]

Brilliant save. No rebound.

 

[scarletmike]

Timmeh to the rescue!

 

[scarletmike]

Yep, knew that was gonna be a card as soon as it happened.

 

[jlb1705]

Jimenez just embarassed the entire US midfield. Good professional foul by Bedoya.

 

[jlb1705]

If the US players can get on the same page in the counterattack they'll be in good shape.

I'd like to see Zusi for Bedoya before long.

I'll gladly take 0s at the half. Hopefully we can turn those almost runs into good shots on goal in the second.

We've had some chances, unfortunately MEX has made a few scrambling blocks
