can someone explain to me the tifo?
Completely agree.Its clear and well known only way green would choose the US is if he was promised a spot on the WC squad. He doesnt impress me either
Think green choosing us over Germany was decided because we promised him a spot on this team...
It's a gamble but if he ends up improving he can be a huge asset in years to come....I know it's about now but sometimes you gotta do these kind of things...especially for a soccer country like the USA...we ain't Spain
"One Nation. One Team. 23 Stories." is a ussoccer.com video series with the players from the U.S. Men's National Team. As the MNT prepares to head to Brazil for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, "One Nation. One Team. 23 Stories" showcases the players off the field as they talk about family, friends, moments from their lives that helped shape them and make them a part of the 2014 World Cup squad.
Why are still people talking about Donovan? It's over & done with. Let's move on. A lot of noobs in here talking like the sky is falling despite 2 wins. 2 wins despite looking somewhat shaky here & there. We beat a very solid attack minded Turkey team that has world class players playing on top teams in Europe.
I wonder if people are making these Donovan observations because his recent scoring because scoring in MLS is not the same thing, not by a loooong shot especially considering Donovan's lack of form prior to the cut. It's sad that Donovan needed this to motivate him to play better. If he had half the drive & tenacity of his Galaxy teammate Keane, there Donovan would've made the squad.
Green looks, a little green on the pitch. He probably won't see too much time in Brazil unless there is a rash of injuries. That said, I'd like to see Green get a start & play some major minutes against Nigeria. That would be a great test. Green just needs to find his confidence & he'll be fine.
Bottom line is if Klinsmann & his staff thinks Green is good enough to be on the 23, than that's good enough for me because given his tenure so far, I trust him more than some wannabe pundits that show up in here on a part time basis.
As for the rest of the team, it was a satisfactory performance. Individually, there were flaws especially on defense but collectively the team got the job done. If someone messed up, there was another guy on the pitch that was able to cover.
Jozy was really active yesterday, but damn he looked awkward trying to finish. It looks like he's thinking too much.
Chandler looked bad. He didn't look comfortable at left back.
Jermaine Jones continues to look bad playing the back end of Klinsmann's diamond. He's got the technical skills & speed to play the role of clean up back there but it looks like he doesn't want to or doesn't like to.
Conversely, Beckerman looks comfortable in that role & is doing it well.
I liked what I saw from Zusi too.
Can't wait for Nigeria... Top 5 African team. Will be a great test.
Great pics ijumpmani !
