Onderwerp: [NT] USA NT - Discussion
I suggest that thus topic comes back to topic and how the NT does. At the end of the season I will certainly be keeping a very close eye on any election and will ensure nothing untoward is going on.........until the lets be civil and talk about the actual matches etc. ;)
Nippon (2) - (4) USA
Important victory, with an unfair result. If the USA NT had won 10-0 today, no one would think it was strange after watching the game. Unfortunately, while others face GKs with form 11, we always face GKs with form 18, and Nippon's GKs made miraculous saves, especially after the 60th minute.
We had 2 defensive players suspended for today, who fortunately will be able to play in the next game. On the other hand, who was our best defender today, was injured.
Game summary:
Minute 3) Isolated, Cancela does not finish for the USA.
Minute 11) Pendleton alone does not score for the USA after a great defense from the opposing GK.
Minute 20) Pendleton alone does not score for the USA after a great defense from the opposing GK.
Minute 29) Good steal of ball from Tubbs, cross and 0-1 for the USA.
Minute 32) An opposing player dribbled past the entire USA team and made it 1-1.
Minute 34) Pendleton in the middle made it 1-2 for the USA.
Minute 48) Pendleton alone does not score for the USA after a great defense from the opposing GK.
Minute 49) Injury to what was being our best defender.
Minute 59) Pendleton alone does not score for the USA after a great defense from the opposing GK.
Minute 62) Radzinsky alone makes it 1-3 for the USA.
Minute 67) Radzinsky alone does not score for the USA after a great defense from the opposing GK.
Minute 68) On the contrary, the isolated opponent made it 2-3.

I hope the changes regarding the topics at the top of the forum are ok for everyone.
I agree, the ME didn't do us any favors today. The first goal especially. Three broken tackles in succession. Second goal, ehhh fair enough, a pace issue for us.
Our starting strikers were awful, fortunately you thought to sub them out one way or the other, since it was 2-1 at 60', and 4-2 at the end.
Good work.

I think we're doing as good as we can so far. We've got 7 points of 12. The draw was against an equal if not slightly better side. So, maybe you can expect a win there. I can tell you previous management sure as hell wouldn't have gotten it.
The high end of this team's really not great...and folks who say making strong U21 prospects will help a lot, I'm frankly skeptical.
First of all, in numerous cases, building for U21 effectiveness will actually reduce training efficiency longer term. Goalies? Fine. Two stat defenders? Fine. Everyone else? Not so much. Depends a LOT on high talent.
Second, there's no shortage of wealthy teams screwing up senior development (which may already be screwed up because some 3.5-3.6 talent midfielder on the team trained for U21 effectiveness. These dopes have been mediocre at sokker for 10, 15 years and are wealthy despite themselves.

Morning, my posts above were not aimed at you at all. I had not seen anything that you had posted inappropriately, I did ask generally to stop the talk over the elections as nothing can be done about it now that wasn't already done. I have also stated that I will be keeping a very close eye on the election in future and the numbers voting as they were clearly inflated last time around. :)
If you feel the coach is not doing the best tactically then you have a right to say so too.

You also have the right to run in the elections and win them, and then show your tactical skill.

Reading this guy comments here and on Int forum, I saw there is no point on writing anything back. Don't know his age, but if I'm a caveman inventing a wheel, as he stated here before, I thank him for that, because it is an honor !
I'll go back in my cave now 'till the next hunt

The Poles are quite provocative. I find it unbelievable that the moderators do nothing about this organized little group.
Are you ridiculing yourself again and consider it a provocation?
