I agree that he should have been subbed off in the second half, but Klinsmann used all of his subs on more center mids way too early.

Would you blame Suarez for not scoring, if he doesn't get the ball in good positions?

Strikers are meant to score goals first and foremost. To score goals you need the ball in positions where you can score goals. We didn't have that today except for the one Dempsey goal, and the half chance Jozy had from the GAM cross.

lol.

I would never blame Suarez because one thing is never in doubt: his passion for victory. He will run himself into the ground, from start to finish, regardless of the score and regardless of how many times he touches the ball. He isn't a bitch who waits for the game to come to him - he makes sure he is always involved whether it is with the ball at his feet, or while he is incessantly pressing the defense/midfield. Technical/creative skills aside, this team would be much better with a Suarez or Kuyt in the squad.

PS Suarez scored 15 goals in a top 3 league in the world as an isolated CF surrounded by teenagers. Whether the service is good or not in any given match, Suarez makes his presence known.

You realize that's the point I'm making?

Herc does 4 things better than Jozy and all 4 are essential in matches like today. He runs for days, he helps out defensively, he wins fouls, and he can take a free kick.

Speaking of set pieces, WTF today?
