Cugalabanza Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Very poor showing indeed. I feel a little sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I was avoiding this thread until I could sit down and watch the game....I'm 25 min into it and am about to turn it off. This is absolutely ridiculous. Complete lack of coordination, no effort on D whatsoever, no offensive presence....what the fug is the point of showing up?

ajzepp Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Watching the halftime show, it's good to hear Lalas saying some of the things that have been bothering me for a while....this team is lacking in the execution of BASIC SKILLS. It's absolutely infuriating! I won't even use Brazil and Italy as the example...how about friggin Costa Rica? Watch that team and you get a sense that their passing has a purpose. They are using their brains as they set-up an attack, and they exhibit basic soccer skills that should be a given with any player at this level. We're getting outplayed so badly on an individual basis that all they're doing is kicking the ball anywhere it'll go, with no forethought or specified direction. How did we get here?? I can't watch the second half....just can't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewPort71 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 OK Lana,,,quit hijacking the thread,,,LOL Back to soccer....US has to beat Egypt by three goals and the Brazillians have to beat Italy by 4 or something like that for the US to advance. (yeah right ) Question...Will the referee award the US 3 penalty kicks, so LD can score three ??? Maybe the US team will play the whole match with 11 players. That would be a change.... those effen horns have to be addressed before WC 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Question...Will the referee award the US 3 penalty kicks, soLD can score three ??? lol, too funny....how pathetic that that's the only way we can score anymore. Hell, our set pieces have become more an opportunity for the OTHER team to score than they are for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cugalabanza Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Actually, I'm quite impressed with Lana's aggressive play. She has good vision and instincts moving forward. Excellent ball skills and she is not afraid to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if they can just have a statement game against Spain on Wed....this tourney will be viewed entirely differently. If not, then advancing in the tourney won't mean sheeat. I don't expect them to beat Spain, but I expect them to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cugalabanza Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 I can't believe I missed this game. I meant to record it, but forgot. Figures. I suffer through all the heartbreak but miss the one great moment. D'oh! Maybe they'll pull off another miracle against Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was going to go home and watch the second half, it was already 3-0. This team will not compete come 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
