Re: 1:1 - 1H Usa v mexico live at Rose Bowl

True..but Beasley was always a natural midfielder with limited defensive instincts. Klinsmann continued the stupid full back experiment with him and now it has come back to haunt us.. Maybe.. but he certainly created a lot of attacking on the left flank and created the free kick that led to the equa...

Harsh but true..sorry, gotta be honest. Gotta also blame Klinsmann for putting him in a tough spot..

Beckerman too offers nothing incisive, even from a deeper role. He plays like Mikel at Chelsea. Goal though!

Re: 1:1 - 1H Usa v mexico live at Rose Bowl

Too many tired and/or old legs in Klinsmann's selection. There's no reason Jermaine Jones should have to start or still be on the pitch at this point.

FYI There are 10 divisions..The top 300,000 plus players in the world play in the first three divisions. Ish ain't easy. FIFA 16 has given the edge to the defense.

Re: U20 WC: Nigeria (2) VS Brazil (4)- SUCCESS,YAHAYA - FT

My musings..... 1. The left side was where the imbalance was. It was obvious there was going to be a positional imbalance with that line up and it proved to be in front of the hapless Musa Abdullahi. Brazil had so much joy here and Manu's reaction lead to our attacking ineptitude in the second half...

Re: U20 WC: Nigeria (2) VS Brazil (4)- SUCCESS,YAHAYA - FT

My strategy for the next game would be 1. Toss that suicidal "total football" nonsense and play a more balanced 4-4-2 with Success and Nacho upfront 2. Awoniyi gets the bench -- great movement but too damn wasteful 3. That left back has to go. If there is no capable replacement, the change...

THOSE NIKE JERSEYS

Are you kidding me? They look like they came from the clearance rack at d#$%'s Sporting Goods. Are we paying Nike to rock their jerseys or they are paying us to wear their gear? This stuff does not look like it came outta Beaverton, Oregon. Pathetic!

Your flawed and precarious reasoning begs the definition of what a "native" is? I agree with him. if Africa is ever going to win the wc we need these boys playing for their native countries in Africa. what good is it if Nigeria plays Italy and half the Italian players are from Congo or GHA...

I saw the result and thought it was a home loss to the Democratic Republic of Congo (Congo - Kinshasa) - bad enough. But then I realized it was Congo-Brazzaville..and I realized how bad things must really be. Wow...just wow

Re: Aloysius Paulus van Gaal

LVG will apparently continue to attempt to force his dumb 3-5-2 on the EPL. It won't work. The league is too damn fast, and the wing backs in this formation will suffer defensively on a consistent basis, regardless of how quick they are. The wingback role is a huge burden on an offensive talent like...
