hallihg Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Was out watching the Scotland game. Thank fuck for that. Every Scotland game I have ever seen we have never won comfortably. Hutton is a fucking brilliant player. No, Hutton is not brilliant, the icelandic left back tonight is utter shit and the only player of the lineup who actually plays in iceland. The Scots were so lucky to win this, just like the earlier match this fall in Reykjavik. They have nothing to be proud of imo, their manager is a clown and should me sacked tbh.

It's alright, I'm a Scotland fan, I know the pain your feeling. Probably much more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 This is crazy, Argentina gets beat 6-1 by Bolivia, this must be a April Fools joke, cause i would never in my lifetime expect that result. Lets just hope Brazil goes and rips Peru apart. Not much left before that match gets going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JamesD Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 How good is Altidore going to be? Wish Newcastle had signed him instead of Xisco. Nothing against Xisco, as I don't think anyone here can judge him, ,but for about the same price, Altidore would have been awesome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against Xisco, as I don't think anyone here can judge him, ,but for about the same price, Altidore would have been awesome. Jozy + Nile = Champions League 2015 Jozy just makes sense for the EPL, possibly the first forward from the US that ever has. He's got the size, physicality, skill and speed to potentially succeed in this league. And he's still only 19. I think there's a very good chance he's here in a few years somewhere. With him and Torres, the younger Americans for the first time seem much much more like they could be world-class players than any in US history as far as I remember. I'll be very interested to see how the team does in 2010, it has a very solid mix of veterans like Landon Donovan, Tim Howard, Carlos Bocanegra and Frankie Hejduk, and youngsters like Michael Bradley, Clint Dempsey, Torres and Jozy. Clearly the class of CONCACAF, not that that means much, especially with the general terribleness of Mexico. So it's time to see what this team can do against the top teams of the world.

Would love for Altidore to have a good WC but unfortunately I doubt he will. He will be out classes by the world class players he will be up against - although mind, he is the most world class player to come out of the US.

Taylor Swift Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 The Argentinians gave up pretty early on; they stopped running, no support from the midfield and they were launching long balls up to fucking Messi, Aguero and then Tevez. You know, when you have the most exciting footballer on the planet but who happens to be a midget, you don't launch a ball up for him try to head. The whole game had a weird feeling. The flight of the ball was different and shots from 30yrds+ all seemed like it was going to fly in. The pitch was also horrible and why neither team could string more than a few passes together.

I think Bradley is gonna turn out to be a really great player. Great range of passing, vision, decent in the tackle, and can play as an AMC, CM, or DM. Really important for him to have a good world cup, I'm thinking maybe Mastroeni and Bradley in CM with Donovan and Jozy up top at this point. Beasley will get absolutely skinned at LB in the World Cup. I thought the passing range from the whole USA team tonight was really impressive, just needed some width to finish things off and provide service to Ching and Jozy which we never got because Dempsey and Donovan were playing the "Wings".

toonarmy Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Bradley has developed into a hell of a player. Wouldn't mind him here, tbf. I agree. I still wonder though how Bob Bradley can possibly judge him effectively as coach. It has to be nearly impossible to be the national team coach and treat his son the same as the other players.

Yeah, its not really 9000m and Bolivia dont beat a lot of teams, they do draw at home a lot, but hey altitude is no real excuse for a 6-1 loss.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 US looked pretty good last night, but what happened to TnT. They were awful. It's not like the US atmosphere is intimidating either. They may aswell just have stayed home. They should hire Shaka Hislop as their manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
