imo, Gooch has been to blame in some fashion for every goal scored against us in this cup.. he is constantly out of position and slow..

We have to score two goals in the 2nd half to stay alive. Yeah right.


2-0 is the score the losing team most commonly comes back from in the sport.

1-0, the leader is still playing like 0-0. 3-0....its over.

2-0...they might relax a bit and we could get a pair. Not saying it will happen, just sayin it is possible.

Our d is fukcing awful. So full of holes it's ridiculous. We should have given up 3 in the first game if it weren't for Howard playing out of his arse. And now this shite.

Findley looks lost when he has his foot on the ball

So much for Torres and the way he ignites our offense.

That Turkey match (good performances by Findley and Torres) may have been the worst thing that could have happened to us.

Also, like a lot of us said back in the warm-up games, Gooch being just healthy enough is a bad bad thing for us.

I completely disagree....we have not scored because we don't shoot, and when we do it looks like we have never done it before and have no idea how.

there is no reason to play Torres and then just play long ball from our center backs.

But lets face it we were delusional as hell. Why would they bunker, look at our strikers

It isn't like we haven't had the chances to score. If the trigger actually gets pulled when we get those damn chances, 2 goals isn't unattainable.

From the looks of it, if they get close to our goal, we're in a shitload of trouble. God our defense looks terrible. We'd do better to make some nice size divots on the way and hope they trip running right by us.

Early in the half when Donovan had the ball in the box, I saw Findley pull off, away from their goal. No killer instinct.

didn't step on the first, but that's a common problem throughout our team. obvious on the second.

it's only 2-0. fricking slovenia scored 2 goals in 45 minutes. i'd hope that we could do something similar. findley needs to come off. just sloppy.

Gooch has been incredibly slow. Bocanegra has been playing poor this match also.

The ENTIRE team is sucking it up. We've had plenty of opportunities to score

We just aren't that good folks. Our players are over-rated, and our coaching is just bad.

This team has a few good players, but without decent coaching and putting in the right players, this team will go nowhere.

Bradley and Findley need to be benched. The entire defense should be benched, and a coach without his head up the arse put in.

I'm sure we'll try and come out swinging in the second.

Only after 40 minutes of Bob Ball of course.
