Skin'emAlive Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Bradley playing badly today. Though, his form is always off against tougher competition. They need to replace Beckerman with Mix or Zuzi and get a more attacking mindset. Just dont put Wondo in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsngibbs4life Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Absolute garbage. Dominate the first thirty, only to concede a weak goal and demoralize us. Bring in Yedlin for bedoya to give us a spark. Might need to change the formation up as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yea, I agree with the Bedoya switch. Prob need Beckerman to stay in for the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin'emAlive Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 So i was talking with my brother about this, and i think it rings true. After all these years, the national team has finally added players with great vision, speed, and cut awareness. Before, it was just athleticism and speed. But they still dont have great first touches. First touches are what separates the great from the elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Bad soccer by the US and they're passing up front is awful. Also, is Bradley really the best option we have? He's off target 5 games for every one that he's on. I've hated watching him for years now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 We looked fine before the big center forward was brought in... maybe tired but we were getting chances.  It's hilarious that everytime Jurgen puts a target forward out there he insists on the long ball forward and tries to get a lucky bounce.  Whether it's Jozy... or this Gordon guy...  ****, I'm positive the only reason we advanced in the World Cup was because Jozy got hurt and we were forced to play to our strength...  What a ****ing joke for Klinsmann. Very dissappointed.

Klinsmann has been playing him out wide at the 11 spot. He's a natural and legit 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeman38 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Jurgen started a joke of a lineup. No way Yedlin should only gets 10 minutes. No reason Gordon should have seen the field. Zusi getting no run. No way Diskerood should see time over him. His delivery is perfect with out front line. And Guzan was a joke tonight, even conceding the linesman was in no position to make the call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley is generally our most skilled player, and even he was missing passes, couldn't settle the ball, etc. I have no clue what it was, maybe it was the surface ( the field was sod laid on top of plywood, wtf???), but there is no excuse. The first thirty minutes of the game was a lot better, but it was like right when the first goal went in, we went into full panic mode. Inexcusable loss for klinnsmann.

Skin'emAlive Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Nah, Bradley has always been mediocre with his first touch. He has pretty good vision. Plays great through balls, and sets up everyone quite well. But his first touch is always bad, and it takes a few seconds for him to move the ball. I would say more, but i am not entirely sure anyone on the national team is all that great with their first touches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has improved his game over the last few years. I will agree the his first touch and overall possession were awful tonight.

Inexcusable loss for klinnsmann.  Huge misconception... abut this is not even close to true. Bradley is a good player... he's nowhere near our most skilled player and has never been our best player.  You could argue he's one of the most experienced players... that's about it. I think Bradley is an 8. Your boy Bedoya has been hot garbage all tournament. Mix should be the 10, but Dempsey is playing there. I have come around on Bradley.

skinsngibbs4life Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Your boy Bedoya has been hot garbage all tournament.ht. Bedoya is coming off injury, and is still trying to regain form. Which is why he didn't play early in the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, OUR boy Coutinho.Second, You can compare Bedoya to Coutinho. While I get the point you are trying to make, Bedoya does not have the touch, skill, vision or dribbling abilities that Coutinho has. Bedoya makes bad passes and his first touch is questionable...I reject your comparison. Third, agree to said agree about Mix Bedoya is coming off injury, and is still trying to regain form. Which is why he didn't play early in the tournament. Fair enough...he still has been awful all tournament. If he's not 100%, he should be coming off the bench.
