Who is this announcer? A flat 4 being completely straight isn't a good thing.

Link to a stream... pretty please. I'm dying here.

These fricking pinkos in San Fran wouldn't have the USA game on.

Okay, Ronaldo will come on at 30 minutes. So he will play the last 15 minutes of the first half.

They just kicked off.

We need to stop playing so direct. We keep losing the ball and getting put back on defense.



this always seems to be our problem. We play like someone who's terrible at FIFA plays. Always going forward, always running into a brick wall.

Why do we refuse to pass and move consistently? I get so frustrated watching our style of play

We try to play British style. Our midfield is good enough to play through them rather than just going full speed ahead.

This was a weird half.

Jozy, Juan, Ream, Bradley and Goodson played well.

The experienced guys: Donovan, Dempsey, Bocanegra, and Jones all played like shite.

We have intermittent moments of excellence though, when we actually have combos outside of the box. It's infuriating to watch us most of the time though.

explain, Jones moved the ball well through the midfield, rarely if ever gave the ball away, and made a few switches that lead to legitimate attacks.

Good half by the US. Would like to see it cleaned up a bit in the final 3rd. But nice job. Canada only looking threatening on the counter - as expected.

Britain with way less skilled players basically.

I just wish that as a developing soccer nation we would commit to playing the Spanish style. It just seems to make so sense. Ball always on the move and it takes so much of the luck factor out of it.

I cringe when I see defenders hoofing it over the midfielders' heads just hoping to god that maybe a forward can latch on.

Meh. We weren't bad but we need to be better. Bradley and Ream playing well. A good half for Jozy, some Jozy moments but overall he did pretty well.

I'd say Bradley.

I'll be honest. The stream I'm watching is the shitty one mentioned earlier. I've been having to differentiate who has the ball myself because the commentator has no clue who has the ball.

He also had two notable give-a-ways deep in our half. I thought he played well overall; I especially liked how well we were able to get the ball to the wings by switching the play from Jones and Bradley. Jones looks fairly smooth on the ball.

Jones was better than the Spain game but still two silly give aways in our half.
