OT - USA v. ARG Copa Semi-Final Pre-Game Open Thread

Submitted by Hab on

Kickoff is at 9:00 pm EST.

I know few around the boards are soccer (sack-ah) followers.  For those that are, you're undoubtedly aware of the Men in Blazers.  For those who aren't, they are pundits that take a borderline satirical approach to reporting on the game and state of the sport in the US by combining American enthusiasm for all things American with the other football and throw in an excessive dose of hyperbole.  

All that to say, the US are facing Argentina, and though I fully expect the US squad to get torched, I would suggest for those who aren't fans of the sport, give this one a watch, it promises to feature "the Best Player in the World against the Best Player in the World named Kyle."

-- Suggestion for I believe Brian who hates the 1-10 rankings after soccer matches, I'm with you in loathing those rankings.  I far prefer more subjective metrics: England are Pants.

Wondo should've never been in the game. Wood getting that yellow killed us...but JK should've started Pulisic for his pace. Nagbe needs to be in as well. Put him in for Beckerman and drop Bradley back. Zusi will need a sub in the 60th minute.

Argentina looking to sit back, put the onus to attack on the USA and hit on the counter. probably wise to conserve energy, Chile/Colombia will be a much tougher game in the final.
