Two penalties in a sequence of 3 seconds and dat ref called not one.

 

Insanely obvious handball that shouldn't have been missed but Hernandez flops constantly to the point I would never give him a call unless its about the most obvious foul of all time. And that was a much deserved goal by Mexico on the corner.

Wow, Marquez was the one that scored it.

 

Layun has been sort of disappointing so far this World Cup, right? (Game here in China is Brazil/Cameroon, so can't see it).

 

 

By the way, was anyone else impressed with how dynamic Deandre Yedlen looked coming off the bench and blowing by all those tired defenders...?

He was a big reason why the US scored the second goal. He and Wondolowski both did their jobs as subs.

Watch the full 5 second clip here instead of just the screen shot.

Bradley got a very high pass that is not easy to control with one touch. The screen shot shows the ball on his foot, but the screen shot doesn't tell you that the ball had just come down at a high angle with pace. Now, his first touch got farther away from him than he wanted and that lost him the ball, but it wasn't like he was making a bad decision. The bad decision was not having two guys glued to Ronaldo, with at least one of them fouling him as soon as the ball headed his way. Free kick would have been too far away to be much of a chance to score.

Yeah, it was an error of execution. He took a bad touch. Not that bad of a mistake to be honest.

it was one mistake in a series of them. It wasnt even the first mistake of that led to the goal. Yedlin passing the ball into the center of the field, WTF was Omar Gonzalez doing in the position he was in?, and then Cameron not seeing the only guy making a run into the box.

 

 

I was pretty upset watching what could've been done but the people just turning on Bradley is just pathetic. There is a Tampa sports host who watches soccer and has talked about soccer on his show in the past so he isnt some new fan. He was just shredding him apart from not scoring earlier in the game because he just went to "tap it in" to actually saying he thinks he sucks and is overrated because of the tying goal. And of course casual fans who are listening are joining the Bradley Sucks bandwagon.

 

 

I guess that is what I deserve for listening to local radio during times like this.
