No, you can't say that without pointing out that the Russians are really the ones that scored the goals.
I GOT A MANN SHAFT FOR YOU GERMANY!!!!!
USA - USA - USA - USA - USA
Thank you post
How sweet it is for Jurgen! The teacher beats the student.
Schoooled.
what a result
We didn't have all of ours either. That's the nature of these matches.
We suited up and beat who they put out there.
Jermaine Jones, Besler, Omar. Yes it was their B team, but it was our B- team.
I love that the US beat Germany IN Germany for the 1st time ever. And the US team looked deadly in the 2nd half.
But are you f-in kidding me that missing Jozy, Howard, Oman, Besler, and Dempsey are equivalent to the talent that Germany was missing?
Muller, Reus, Kroos, Khedira, Hummels, Boateng, Neuer.
He's not equating the talent whatsoever. He's equating the situations of the respective teams. Both were missing a handful of their best players. He never even insinuated that the players we were missing were on part with the talent that Germany was missing.
Seeing the US win anything is just so sweet.
was that awesome. How ya like Klinsmann now?
Holy fuck...
Beating Germany and Netherlands back-to-back is a great step for the US. Now they have to keep building off of it.
Win the Gold Cup.
What a crazy result. It's great to see, especially missing a couple of guys.
Really impressed by Evans today. Probably GZs best game. Love the Beckerman/Bradley combo, they provide a calming effect and together can control possesion.
AJ is lost. He's slow, always in the wrong place and no one can find him on the break. I'm afraid he isn't a good fit for Jurgen's system. He's constantly complaining about not getting the ball.
Also...Die Manshaft??? Feminists.
If you mean JA, I tend to agree. Jurgen's system is movement and passing. JA is a "back to the basket low-post" player.
It fit well when we were playing long-ball and hoping for JA to get a hold of the ball, box-out, turn and shoot. I'm not sure how well it fits at this point. it's kind of an awkward mix IMO.
First let me say I did a 180 on Beckerman in the past 3 years. I used to hate his game. But they used to use him differently. He was more of an attacking midfield for some odd reason and he just took so many long range shots that were useless. Now he has found his role as a #6 and it fits perfectly. If I recall he sat out the Belgium game when we got strifed. Not that we would not have been strifed with him in but really it was exposed.
And I think the Beckerman of 5 years ago was a very different guy than this one so its hard to say we'd want him 5 years younger - only the current form would we want.
Anyhow there is finally a bit of creativity in the front 6 guys now, we dont have a lot of possession against top tier teams but this trip we actually had a lot of nice tick tack series when we did have the ball. These 2 super subs are pretty hilarious considering one is 2nd division Germany trying to find a team and the other is at friggin Stanford. At this point they look a lot more ready to contribute 20 minutes a game than the heralded Green.
The other guy who looked a lot better was Mix. He used to be an easy pushover who was so easy to get off the ball and weak as hell on defense. Not that he is a superstar but he is at least a contributor. I've only seen a few games so I dont know if it is a good recent spurt of play or he really has changed but he is a lot more firm on the ball nowadays.
Mix has a way of finding the net, which cannot be undervalued. 7 goals in 31 matches is better than a lot of his counterparts. His game is going in the right direction, for sure.
I'm still not sold that they shouldn't be preparing Bradley for the Beckerman role. 3 years is a LONG time in sports.
No one expects Kyle to be there, or Jermaine Jones for that matter.
I'm okay with keeping Bradley where he is now, but after the Gold Cup, I'd drop him back to the defensive midfield spot and give him time there before the World Cup.
I think Mix is worth a starting 11 spot...he's not the best player, but he, IMO is what I've wanted Bradley to be for the past 3 years. Or at least he shows flashes of that.
I also think Yedlin needs to start, I'm biased, because he's my favorite player but things just happen when he's on the field. We're faster than everyone and he serves in beautiful passes from the right side. He also is quick enough to recover back on defense.
I'm completely over Timmy Chandler, he wasn't good in 2013, wasn't good last year and isn't any good now. I'd much rather continue to the Jermaine Jones as a wide defender expirement than give Chandler one more minute of run on the USMNT.
I think speed could be a huge asset out wide if we put Jones and Fabian Johnson out there and then Bedoya/Mix and Yedlin in front of them. So much overlapping and so much flexibility to recover on the back end. Keep Bradley in the middle, just drop him back after the Gold Cup and find someone to replace him...Julian Green? Mix? Corona? Zardes?
You can still keep Beckerman on the 23 man roster in 2018 and play him off the bench and move Bradley back up if you need to.
We also need to figure out what we're doing with central defenders. Brooks, Besler are on, IMO. Cameron or Gonzalez, then I think you need another rock like Besler rather than another tall, lanky, slow guy who fucks up too much. Should never had 2 of those types on the field at the same time.
