I will say, people can crap on Bradley but don't blame him for everything. The whole team seems a step slow at times.
Just get out of the half now... poor preparation and planning it appears. Hurting with no Beckerman and allowing Bradley to clog up any chances to move the ball in the middle.
dangerous place to foul bedoya
If Bradley had 1/2 as much heart as Beasley we might be doing something.
I dont think it has anything to do with heart - he is running all over and coming back to defend from deep runs. He just is off this whole tourney.
2 great crosses by Yedlin!
Belgium crosses suck generally. Corners have not been great either.
Look at this Yedlin go -love the confidence.
STICKABILITY. DRINK!
I say we bring in Mix for Cameron and slide MB back to where he is more comfortable.
0-0 half = victory for US
Also Yedlin looking decent is a victory as well.
6 out of the eight games have gone scoreless at half. Where are my pills? Ugghhh!!!
Yedlin is a a baller.
I haven't been able to watch at all, and likely won't be able to watch the second half either. Can someone provide a summary? Sounds like we're really struggling, yet we've managed to keep it tied at 0-0. Is Belgium struggling just as bad, or is Howard just bailing us out? ESPN shows that we've got a 53-47 edge in possession, so it can't be that bad, right?
I noticed that sub. Thought it was odd to use a sub like that in the first half. Was Johnson just gassed or injured or something?
Strained hamstring. Probably out for the remainder of the Cup.
one good chance , Belgium had maybe 2 plus several corners the US defended well. In all it looks like all 3 previous Belgium games to this point.
IF US can poach one and defend they just might do this.
Possession stat seems like it has to be backwards. Anyway, Belgium with a shit ton of chances and corners that they created off good play on their part and the US looking outclassed. We're covering set pieces and crosses pretty well at least.
Very similar to Germany v USA right now. Belgium weak on corners and crosses has helped us - individual talent and passing attack is making US look a bit silly right now.
USA has had maybe 2 serious counter attacks. Beckerman pulled for Cameron. Fabian hurt hamstring - Yedlin came in for him and played well. Bradley being Bradley.
I think we can expect Lukaku or Mirallas to come in at some point.
Too easy for Belgium to take space. Luckily, Howard is good at football.
Haimoudi has alleviated any of Klinsman's fears so far. I think we may see a Altidore appearance in the second half.
HOLY! HOW DID THAT MISS 2 Belgium feet
feels a lot like the Ghana and Germany games where it's just a matter of when as we have no possession
Floodlight Robbery Job is the name for my fantasy football team.
And goalpost. No offense at all from US. Too much.
SO this is what Antigua feels like when US shows up.
