I'm living in a world where Celtic is buying legit players from City and rejecting offers of 30 million when they have national team stars sitting right behind the player being offered...

it's a crazy world, maybe the day where Celtic plays in another league isn't that far off after all.

 

[ACamp1900]

huge USMNT game tomorrow... should be on FS1.

Of all the big English teams Liverpool is the only choice, and it's an easy one... but that doesn't mean I still don't hate all of them to some degree and still don't find liverbird fans to be super annoying generally... lol

fecking england.

Celtic apparently has a bi-yearly fan convention in Vegas going on right now...

Sing when you're swimming - watch Hoops fans rock Las Vegas at massive Celtic convention pool party - Daily Record

I can't believe I'm just now finding out about this... attending this in two years is a must.

 

[ACamp1900]

It seems like every time Scotland plays the hun bastards the USMNT plays the poors the same day or so... odd how that's been lately.

 

[ACamp1900]

Busy sports night with my pens and the USMNT... thus far our boys are fairly flat and just kind of sitting.

 

[ACamp1900]

Two heavy altitude games this week... imo it's clearly impacting BAs tactics here... he wants us to have energy enough to actually make a run at Mexico...

 

[ACamp1900]

Final service balls have been terrible all round...

 

[ACamp1900]

Man they're being super tentative boy...

 

[calvegas04]

Time to take some of the old timers out of the US soccer program

 

[ACamp1900]

Start with Jones imo

 

[ACamp1900]

Yikes

 

[Cackalacky]

Grrrr. Need the win.

 

[ACamp1900]

Grrrr. Need the win.

Good news in this game?


Pens 3
Preds 0

 

[ACamp1900]

Whoop there it is!!!

 

[ACamp1900]

Geez... that was too close....


Anyway, I hope I live to see the day when we are putting out nothing but Christian P level talents all over the field.... it's coming...

 

[calvegas04]

Pulisic will set the goal record before clint gets his two more

 

[ACamp1900]

Stud

 

[calvegas04]

Need as many goals as possible now to pad our lead on panama

 

[Cackalacky]

Man he is so good.

 

[Cackalacky]

Jozy useless as usual.

 

[calvegas04]

Jozy useless as usual.

normally true but he played a big part on that 2nd goal

 

[ACamp1900]

He's a one trick pony now... get him with the ball on his feet right at the top of the box and look out........ every other aspect of the game, he's a statue

 

[Cackalacky]

Jozy has been out of position all game. Gotta play Wood and Dempsey at Mexico.

Very pleased with villafana.

 

[ACamp1900]

Job done... now get back home from the biggest shit hole on planet earth intact and move forward.

 

[Cackalacky]

Unbeaten in 6. Good job Arena.

Breathing freer now. This team is really hard to be a fan of, because I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel --- even with some reduced goal visions. Maybe you guys can bring some understanding.

This is a frustrating sport unless you have people with great foot skills in tight places from about the midline to about the top of the box. We have very few people who could even make a claim to be that. The objection that I've had with Altidore (even though he fed Pulisic well on the goal) is that he can bring a ball down to his feet but rarely deliver the next ball to anyone productively. Dempsey can occasionally still deliver a productive ball, and so can Bradley. Most of the other guys can't, other than the obvious (Pulisic and Nagbe).

So who do you start? Howard/ Cameron/ Brooks/ Pulisic/ Nagbe and then who? Probably Dempsey and Bradley since few others can do anything productive with the passing game. This was the first time I saw Villafana look decent at that. Yedlin doesn't seem to be good at it, but his speed cures his other ills. Is that good enough? Johnson has looked actually bad in the last two games --- he completely dogged it on the Venezuelan set piece goal. Do we have anyone with really good foot skills? (other than the obvious.)
