Sweet shite. Do we have to complain about everything?

Dempsey is out of shape and out of form because of his club situation. He has been incredible the last year for the USMNT. He didnt forget how to play.

Grab a beer (right now) and enjoy dos a cero

Yeah, it amazes me how many lives Beasley has, you cannot get him off the roster. He's not good, not even sort of decent.

The epitome of Beasley happened the past 2 games, he makes a move, loses the ball, then falls into the opposing player.

He was a mediocre ALM/LM, and now he's asked to help on defense??? We have NO ONE else who can play LB and push the ball, while not flubbing and falling over people?

Also, no reason for Bacon to not see the field, he is the future, and the now. And is one of their best forwards.

So based on 1 half, do you pull Dempsey or Jozy for Aron?

You must be an actual talent scout to have that certain of an analysis after seeing 12 minutes of play in a one-off friendly.

Congrats on the gig. What clubs are you working with these days?

ETA. You may have gleaned some info from his stoppage time cameo against Costa Rica, where he never got a touch. Again... props.

he should of come on for Dempsey last night, Dempsey was horrible, on and off the ball.

When a kid has talent, it's easy to see.

Yeah LD should be all over any PK we have as long as he has 2 working legs. Deuce just isnt that strong at them. Kind of weird for a goal poacher like that to be that poor from the spot but he is.

Now if it were me taking that PK last night, I would have blasted it straight at the flag, held up 2-0 with my hands, climbed up on top of the goal and had some of the outlaws toss me beers and chug them Stone Cold Steve Austin style. MURICA.

Dempsey needs to step up in general and stop acting like himself.

I don't think saying Dempsey has been very average and shouldnt take penalties is "ripping" him

Not at all. He hasn't played particularly well the last few games, and his last two penalty takes have been terrible.

Plus, he really needs to stop diving.

No joke. Dempsey was an inch or two away from being the goal scorer on the 2nd goal.

And ffs people, Run DMB is starting because our LB depth is a joke. He makes some good decisions and some bad decisions but it is not like we are loaded with options.

I was telling my roommates that I would do a version of this as well if it was me. It just seemed like such an easy opportunity to create a memorable, epic moment.
