The KC crowd rocked last night. That was one hell of an environment.
First game of the GC I watched from start to finish.Can we leave Wondo at home from now on? Yes, yes, and yes. Please no more Wondo.Disappointed in the development of Timmy Chandler. I expected him to be more like Fabian. Agreed. He looked good against Guatemala, terribly awful since then. Need to explore additional options at RB.Very good performance in short time from Aron. I'm loving what I see out of Aron. Need to find a way to get him on the field more often.Bedoya continues to show me why he should be in the top 11 for this team every game.Beckerman has lost a LOT in since the WC. Agreed. I may be a bit biased on this one, but I think Mix can play that spot well.Seems we began moving on from Besler and Gonzo early, perhaps? Better second half, but I don't trust JAB or Alvarado as full-time starters I think a pairing of JAB and Gonzo would do great. I don't like moving away from him, and possibly Alvarado can develop into a solid starter, but he isn't close yet. JAB made a few mistakes, but I really like what I see out of him.Zardes could be special with further development. Same with Yedlin. Agreed. These two are the future of this team. Along with a few other individuals not on the GC roster (Danny Williams, Jordan Morris, etc.)First half was awful. Totally disjointed. Second half much improved. Clint made a big difference.
Brooks acquitted himself well in the second half after falling asleep on the Panama goal. He was everywhere in the box in the second half, killing plenty of chances. He'll be missed next game.Love the combination of Dempsey and Zardes. They really click and it was just a shot of energy to start the second, just like against Haiti.I thought Bedoya was great. Criminal that there was no card on the tackle against him just outside the box in the first, CONCACAF'd real hard there. Otherwise he was very good and his assist was beautiful.Chandler must have some heavy blackmail on JK cause he was f-ing atrocious and still wasn't subbed off.
Agreed. Nice job by the home crowd even late in the game. Remember when the US were a supporter's underdog in almost every match played in the states? That sucked.
I went to the US vs Honduras at Soldier Field in 2009 during World Cup qualifying. We won 2-1, but I think the stands were 4-1 Hondurans to US fans. They scored the first goal and I thought the stadium was going to collapse. It was insane. Glad we've come back from that.
that was a joke mexican fans even worse
Brutal. I would say Klinsy's job is on the line if we don't win the Confed playoff game, but I think Gulati is tied to Klins until after 2018.
Mexican fans STILL throwing things on the field. Just total trash
Bottom line, love the players he's brought in, but hate the way the team is managed. We'll have JK through 2018, but my hope is that we get a better tactician when he leaves who can take advantage of the players he's recruited to the best of their abilities.
I found it funny that the day Tim Howard announces he's ready to return to the squad, Guzan put in a terrible performance and was the primary culprit on both Jamaican goals. Howard walks right back into his position as the #1.
