USA vs Brazil August 10 2010 Thread

[The_Worlds_finest]

Should be interesting to see the Line up coming from the USA side. Will Bob Bradley still be at the helm? Will Freddy Adu be called up? Anyway cant wait. Lets get this going!

[SAtown]

I think Bradley is a great coach. Who would replace him (IF they were to let him go)?

[urunobili]

where will it be played?

[SAtown]

At the New Meadowlands in New Jersey I believe

[Spurologist]

Klinsmann or any high ranking technical coach. Bradley has done well but he's done all he can

[The_Worlds_finest]

I kinda would like to see Jurgen Klinsman have a go with us.

[ElNono]

At the New Meadowlands in New Jersey I believe

I should be able to attend... but I expect Brazil to show up with their C team...

[SAtown]

I should be able to attend... but I expect Brazil to show up with their C team...

lucky... I'd kill to go to that new stadium

[ElNono]

It's 30 mins from here... funny too because the Nets just abandoned the Izod center right next door and they're going to play in the Prudential arena in Newark now, which is fucking out of the way for me.

[MannyIsGod]

Your lineups are really wrong. In fact I'm pretty sure thats the Confed Cups final lineup.

[Sense]

:lol that looks wrong indeed, how is Kaka going to play

[Libri]

Dunga isn't the head coach, it's Menezes.

[MannyIsGod]

It is the confed final line ups. Bradley had to sit due to a yellow against Spain.

[MannyIsGod]

I listed the rosters in the MNT thread but I'm too lazy to copy that shit.

[The_Worlds_finest]

So you can run and tell that run and tell that run and tell that home boy home boy

[Sense]

Brazil sure is attacking a lot

[Spurologist]

Free flowing football :tu

[Sense]

lol it's almost like Brazil is toying with the USA defense

[Spurologist]

Neymar :wow

Why exactly wasn't he in South Africa?

[Sense]

haha good header by Brazil

[Sense]

This has been Neymar's show

[Spurologist]

US getting murdered.....pathetic display

[MannyIsGod]

The entire US midfield might as well not be there. They're not playing D, They're not playing O. I'm not sure wtf they're doing. Pretty bad display so far.

[Sense]

They're just playing a superior team...

[Spurologist]

More reason why I've always thought Bradley needs to go. He has done nothing tactically to change how the US is playing. US started well as they linked up well but then US just sagged and absorbed wave after wave of Brazilian attacks. He does well to try to prepare the US team mentally but that's only half the battle. Speculation for Bradley to manage Aston Villa....doubt that happens but he needs to go.

Brazil is far superior at the moment but Bradley needs to make adjustments....I'm waiting

[MannyIsGod]

Sure, but this team is playing really really bad and it not something Brazil is doing. Its just bad midfield play. Really bad.

[Libri]

The USA left side is really bad. They don't have an answer for Neymar.

[EduRiker]

This US team lacks motivation. Period. Brazil has tons of young players dying to show the world why they should have been in South Africa. Oh, and they ARE good.

[Sense]

lol while I agree USA isn't doing much, this game should be like 4-0 right now

[Spurologist]

Sure, but this team is playing really really bad and it not something Brazil is doing. Its just bad midfield play. Really bad.

Everyone outside of Donovan has been dreadful. The defense and midfield have been so bad that Donovan has had to sag back and help. This left Buddle up front by himself. With no-touch Bornstein and Specter providing zero quality crosses, Buddle might as well not even be there. Hate to say it but Gonzalez has also been bad. Brazil just has too much speed for him. He has been caught out of position a couple times and he's lucky Brazil didn't make him pay....could be the nerves. He had some good clearances but that's as far I go with his play.

[MannyIsGod]

I don't mind Gonzales playing bad, he's probably jittery. We know how much Specter though. And lol Bornstien. I expected better out of Edu and Bradley though.

[Spurologist]

Bradley again :bang

[MannyIsGod]

That ball from Sasha was SO fucking horrible. Like wtf.

[Sense]

lol Brazil's just having fun...

[MannyIsGod]

Pretty much.

[Spurologist]

much better from US

[MannyIsGod]

I hate Bornstien sometimes. Cross the fucking ball.

[Sense]

There's your break..

lol nvm, offside

[MannyIsGod]

Awww :lol

[Spurologist]

which US fan wasn't thinking Bradley would be onside on the replay :lol

[MannyIsGod]

I like Jozy's ideas. Man I really love Jozy.

[MannyIsGod]

which US fan wasn't thinking Bradley would be onside on the replay :lol

:lmao

[MannyIsGod]

Brazil has so much young talent. These guys all look like they're 15.

[Spurologist]

Findley is in for the track meet

[MannyIsGod]

I see no reason for Findley to be on this damn team. He's not going to play in the next cup under any circumstances and he sucks balls.

[Spurologist]

yep...he's got the touch of a T-Rex

[Spurologist]

Altidore is fucking class!

[Sense]

Nice save! Neymar almost had another one

[MannyIsGod]

Jozy wtf. You're pratically at the flag.

[MannyIsGod]

Neymar looks like Ruffio

[Sense]

Neymar looks like Ruffio

:rollin

so true

[Sense]

lol by now this should be like 5-0

[MannyIsGod]

LMAO Findley. So bad.

[Libri]

USA has nothing, nada

[Spurologist]

what are the US subs? Does Bob really have Gomez and Findley on the wings???????

I might need some exedrin

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah dude. He has Findley up front with Altidore but he has Gomez playing in the mid. :lol


I think he's trying to lose his job.

[MannyIsGod]

Guzan playing well. :lol

[Spurologist]

Guzan = US man of the match

[MannyIsGod]

The only good ball Sasha has had all night was the one of an OS Bradley. Everything else has been crap.

[Spurologist]

Gomez unlucky not to score there

[MannyIsGod]

Still can't believe Gomez and Buddle sat for Findley.

[Spurologist]

:lmao :lmao :lmao

Findley

[Spurologist]

Best US players today

1. Guzan
2. Goodson
3. Altidore

[Sense]

Man of the match for team USA has been USA's goal posts :P

[Libri]

Guzan is getting a good workout.

[MannyIsGod]

I hope this is Findley's last cap for the Nats. Let him go back to sucking in the MLS and let him stay there. Just ruins everything for me when he can't do anything but run fast. Him touching the ball is a guarnteed turn over.

[MannyIsGod]

Oh and I thought Omar played better in the 2nd half. Guzan was amazing.

At least we'll always have good keepers. :lol

[The_Worlds_finest]

lol by now this should be like 5-0
And you should have run down the crack of your mamas ass

[Sense]

It's funny how you seem to be the only one who disagrees, did you watch the game?

It actually could've easily been more

[Spurologist]

At least we'll always have good keepers. :lol

unless Gooch improves after that surgery, I'd rather see Goodson and Gomez starting US games.

Bedoya didn't impress. Holden clearly needed for that slot. When is Castillo gonna get another callup? Spector/Bornstein have been terrible for a while now.

New US coach will need to do some clean up.

[The_Worlds_finest]

:lol

Your original post is pointless. It wasn't 5-0 it was a shitty 2-0.

[The_Worlds_finest]

Aye Aye

[Sense]

Your original post is pointless. It wasn't 5-0 it was a shitty 2-0.

:lol you know sometimes I wonder how old you are, you are incredibly immature.

2-0 against your team is shitty? :lol

I wasn't even looking at the score to realize how easy this game was for Brazil, it certainly didn't feel like a 2-0 game.

[Phenomanul]

Oh and I thought Omar played better in the 2nd half. Guzan was amazing.

The US was thoroughly, and completely outclassed in this game... with the exception of Guzan's play...

[Sense]

I can't wait for tomorrows game :)

[MannyIsGod]

Who plays tomorrow?

I can't wait for the Galaxy Red Bulls game this weekend. Hope Omar destorys Henry and I hope Lando Destroys Rafa.

I'm assuming you mean Gonzalez since having Gomez at CB would be quite puzzling. :lol

Bedoya was pretty ineffective, Kljetsan was horrid.

Jozy showed signs but with the mid never getting him the ball not much he can do. Spector and Bornstein are terrible. I think Sean Franklin should get a chance again. He's been fairly impressive when I watch him in MLS play.

Your an idiot, shitty 2-0 lose. Obviously by me refereeing to 2-0 being shitty i was upset with my teams output.

[The_Worlds_finest]

Your team will be shit on. That could be 5-0.

[hater]

dayum USA losing to Brazil teenie team.

USA goalkeeper saved at least 2 goals.

[scott]

I was at the game. Felt like a Brazil home game. US Soccer Fed needs to schedule these games in places where the US may actually be the fan favorite.

Buddle fucking blows.

The game was all about touch. Brazil has it, US doesn't.

Good send off game for Bob. Jurgen, your office is ready.

Bring out a special brew called the Jurgen if we actually land him!

[MannyIsGod]

Mexico vs Spain

Oh nice. I'll have to watch it.

:lol yeah I meant Gonzalez. Hell maybe we should even call up Gale Agbossoumonde for the Olympics. Franklin too.

Exactly. Based on touch alone Jurgen will not feature Bornstein, Findley, or Buddle. Spector is decent because of his prem experience but he's borderline. My respect for Sunil will increase slightly if he's able to land Jurgen.

[MannyIsGod]

I think you guys hate on Buddle too much. The mid played far worse in the first half and never got him the ball. Jozy didn't see it much but it was more than Buddle saw it.

If Buddle had the ball the way Findley did in the 2nd half he would have done some nice things with it. Not amazing, but he's about the 4th best forward we have behind Altidore, Davies, and Gomez.

[Muser]

Who else is playing tonight? I know England are but fuck that.

[DAF86]

Argentina - Ireland

[IronMexican]

Mexico vs Spain

[Muser]

Really? Sweet those games sound pretty sweet.

[lefty]

Algeria - Gabon :lol


I'm sure Saadane will find a way to lose this one

[EduRiker]

Today there is also Internacional at Chivas Guadalajara for the first leg of the Libertadores finals. What a day in Mexico.

Fuck it I caved in and watched.. LMAO take off Rooney and you get 2 goals straight away, what a fucking faggot

[IronMexican]

Completely forgot about the game. Good thing it's only half time. Nice to hear Chicharito scored.

[IronMexican]

Oh well.

Your team will be shit on. That could be 5-0.

I'm seeing the game and they didn't sell out, WTF is wrong with Chivas' fans?

[EduRiker]

They didnt? It looks full to me. Almost half time, Inter hit the bar twice but couldnt score. 0-0.

Edit: Chivas scores at 45+1. First chance they had.

[EduRiker]

Inter turned things around in the second half. 1-2 in Guadalajara is a great result. I guess its not time yet for a mexican team to win the Libertadores.
