Bulls*** weak call. Mother f***ing s***head ref.

 

Gooch on a 50/50 gets called for a penalty in the box. f***.

 

2-1 Ghana

 

Momentum gone.

 

Boca with a s*** clearance. He got cute. And got burned.

 

If EJ doesnt make the pitch as a 2nd half sub and he is healthy. Arena needs to be fired before the post game interview. Our best attacking option has been sitting on the bench for most of this WC.

 

He came into the Czech game and made a huge difference in the attack. We are now down a goal. Its time to abandon the 4-5-1 and attack.

Its the US against the refs...PHANTOM CALLS!!!

 

US really needs to start pushing the ball

Not to be a whiner or a conspiracist. But doesnt it seem like in the last 2 games especially, the refs have taken a harder line on the US team. Could it be our standing politically in the world? Because we are at war?

Is it possible Arena is still punishing EJ for that "war" comment. If he is, that is absolutely ridiculous, but it is the only explanation I can think of for why your best goal scorer in qualifying is not on the pitch.

 

 

In the last WC our hottest striker was Mathis. He sat on the bench pretty much the entire WC.

 

 

EJ still not on the pitch.

 

DUMB f*** ARENA WHAT THE f*** ARE YOU WAITING FOR. WE NEED GOALS. PUT A STRIKER ON THE PITCH, YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS SCORED GOALS BEFORE. STOP WITH YOUR DC UNITED CONNECTION.

 

FIRE THIS SLUG AFTER THIS GAME.

No one is warming up yet.

 

Slug Arena is holding up a post, trying to figure out how to get his resume ready for the NY Red Bulls.

 

 

Here is the problem with not getting EJ on the pitch yet. You wait 15 minutes, and you take more and more time away from scoring. At about the 75 minute mark, watch how Ghana will have all of this "injuries", they will stall and delay trying to eak this out.

 

Now finally someone is warming up.

Aren't you supposed to move forward if you're trying to score?

 

 

We are still playing a 4-5-1. And our best offensive threat is parked on the bench.

I hate short corners. We are not creative enough to take advantage, and we suck at shooting.

 

Just get a ball into the box and let something happen.

I completely agree, but that would make too much sense. I'm learning that if you want it, the opposite will happen for the US at this Cup.
