Btw, Ching should be off. He is in there to hold the ball up, yet he has no touch to receive the ball in the first place. Now, we will be really small with Jozy, Davies, and Donovan, but to be honest, I kind of like that group.

Ching is worthless. He hasn't done a single worthwhile thing this entire game. How he and Sean Casey keep accumulating caps at this point, I don't know.

Connor Casey, but yea. Ching has always been worthless, there's no reason he should ever be on the national team, let alone start. Same with Casey. All he does is run hard and play physical, he has no skill whatsoever.

Did Davies really get a foul for that?!

Tim Howard is a beast

JT Jag · 08-12-2009, 04:21 PM

... Holden?!

iowatreat54 · 08-12-2009, 04:21 PM

Wow, that player should be yanked from the game for that. That was just awful and there's no reason he shouldn't have done a better job with that ball.

Who got carded? my stream just froze.

That's rich, Mexican players telling a U.S. player to get off the ground and stop wasting time...

Biggest mistake of the match: Starting Ching.

Bob Bradley needs to be fired, plain and simple. This National Team is going nowhere with him at the helm. Starting Brian Ching up top over Altidore? Are you ******* kidding me?

I understand it's tough to win at Azteca but when you put a dog **** forward up top that can't do anything productive, you deserve to lose the match.

Yup, we were playing with 1 forward all game.

Also, our defense was bad. All they did was clear balls, they never looked to possess, and were often times horribly out of position. I hope this game shows Bradley that we need a defensive CM like Edu, we can't have 6-8 players attacking and then running back, especially when 3/4 of your midfield is mediocre at best at defense.

Bradley needs to bring in Adu, by far the most creative player for the US.

Adu and Torres must have gangbanged Bradley's wife or something. They're both probably the most talented prospects the team has, but neither of them get any PT.

I don't understand how a guy can score a hat trick in a qualifying match just four months ago, and not start in this game.

I'm not going to be someone who wants Bob Bradley's head after this loss, but not starting Altidore was somewhere between stupid and inexcusable.

JRTPlaya21 · 08-12-2009, 06:37 PM

Man what did Jozy play like 20 mins? Pathetic move coach Bradley. Ching has no business starting.

When it actually counts for something. Mexico is in 4th last time I checked. ;)

Exactly, don't know why you're all freaking out it really couldn't matter less. Don't really know anything at all about American football...soccer...whatever but i'm sure some of your bigger players didn't play due to pressures from clubs about the imminent season. Especially Altidore, Hull would've lost their **** if he played 90.
