I watch soccer only when USA is in the world cup. Why do these US teams never take shots?

We don’t really have a great center forward.

Also, post less.

Clinical finishers take shots. We don’t have a guy who can consistently take those effectively. CP & WM aren’t bad. But they are much better at finding that extra pass than long range shots. I mean I know WM had 2 that sailed way high (one was a volley) and CP hit the cross bar. So we don’t refuse to shoot.

So it’s all about finding the extra pass and a high percentage shot.

I know as someone who doesn’t watch soccer draws suck, but that was about the best goalless game you’re going to get. If you can’t appreciate that, you might be wasting your time.

Because real life isn’t FIFA with respect to ease of distance striking. You also can’t defy laws of physics and kick it through defenders, or hit it cleanly while off-balance

Not sure what match you were watching but there really weren’t any untaken shots

We didn’t pass up shots that I saw. Watch more soccer.

bullshite we didn't.

We also turned bitch on multiple cross opportunities and decided to keep passing it backwards.

We played like a bunch of cowards on offense today.

Example?

Watch the game again.

Labeling that performance cowardly only kinda makes sense if that was the first match you’ve ever seen

Lalas and Dempsey agree with me. They were reaming the offensive performance after the game.

We played like a bunch of pussies in the final third.

Best of luck as you begin your journey as a fan though

I played soccer for almost 20 years, including ODP and a couple seasons in the UK.

Congrats on making excuses for piss poor attacking though.

I guess it makes you appear edgy and cool.

We outshot England so I'd say we weren't exactly cowards. They took a lot more chances yesterday than the Wales game and until those last couple of minutes were very brave in attacking. We kept England on their back foot most of the game, you don't do that being cowardly.
