Donovan does not get that chance he'd be delivering the corner most likely.Comment -
Donovan plays up top and in the midfield either way has nothing to do with him burying that chance with his eyes closedOriginally posted by THam12Comment -
It was a set piece dudeOriginally posted by RubberKettleComment -

He plays the wing. He plays the set pieces in. He would have to make an unreal run through the opposition to get that chance.Originally posted by GT21Megatron
But I agree it was a good chance.Comment -
I don't really care that Wondo missed the chance, Altidore's play is far more disheartening.Comment -
Wing/forward/up top all the same thing....they need to get him on the team. If you watch nobody has the ability to beat guys off the dribble and the only ones who can finish are Bradley and Dempsey.Originally posted by THam12Comment -
I agree. Trying to be way too fancy. Hes not that type of guy at all. Needs to hold guys off, play one and two touch, and get in good spots.Originally posted by RubberKettle
Our defense is so shaky. Not good when playing the teams in our group.Comment -
Altidore is kind of a big dude and getting pushed around like a 13 year old school girl. Wait until he gets those Germans draped all over his back. SMHOriginally posted by RubberKettleComment -
Sounds like they look awful, gonna catch last 30 after OKC gameComment -
No it is not the same thing. At all.Originally posted by GT21Megatron
Have you watched LD lately? He is a step slow.Comment -

Too many touches and didn't look at goal the whole half. Needs confidence badly, needs a goal.Originally posted by GT21MegatronComment -
Yes sir. When he tries to complicate the game, he looks awful. Simple ball is the only chance we have to compete at highest level.Originally posted by RubberKettleComment -
Ive watched him he might be a step slower than 4 years ago but he's still better then players they got out there right now and can still beat guys off the dribble......Originally posted by THam12Comment -
He is much slower and not in form.Originally posted by GT21Megatron
Im not saying he shouldnt be on 23 man roster, but he would be less of a factor than people think. Would be a strong reserve coming off the bench to make a difference, though.Comment -
Beckerman over Jones all day also. Jones is so badComment -
these are the kind of games you need donovan for imagine against ghana you need a master key to unlock rigid defensesComment -
this azer team has a good defense, only gave up 11 goals in 10 qualifying games, no clint dempsey either rememberComment -
Landon Donovan earned the right to be on team USA,he brings alot of WC experience to the table. You need his veteran presence.Comment -
Not sure about that.....either way this is hard on the eyesOriginally posted by thetrinityComment -
Finally a goal
let's get one for Jozy nowComment -
Cheers! MegatronComment -
weird decision to play this team anyways, cuz of the az manager being an american advisor only thing i can think ofComment -
That was a solid finish right thereComment -
Jozy needs a goal to get things going but he's drawn a ton of fouls and had some nice layoffs.....Just needs to be more aggressive at the net overall though
Thought it was OK but we definitely need him better than OKComment -
2 late goals made it look better then it really was, wasnt horrible, need dempsey to be healthy obviously.Comment -
Johannsson is a very good player.Comment -
Just a bad team to play against if you wanted a fun, free flowing gameOriginally posted by thetrinity
In World Cup Qualifying they drew with Russia and played Portugal tough.....like someone said they only allowed 11 goals in 10 WCQ games
Regardless the US dominated throughout....at no point were they really even tested defensivelyComment -
I like the combo of him and Altidore....Originally posted by THam12
Also Diskerud probably should start or atleast play off the bench a lot.......The times I've seen him he's always involved making playsComment -
thats why i didnt see the point playing this team, no team in the group will play like this, not like iran is in the group.Originally posted by MoneyLineDawgComment -
Lets be serious here....that was a big time garbage goal he got. He won't sniff the field in Brazil.Originally posted by MoneyLineDawgComment -
I like him better than Wondo as the first striker off the bench....He can also play CAM and out wide as an extra attacker so it wouldn't be crazy at all to see him get on as a sub at some pointOriginally posted by GT21MegatronComment -
Agreed would rather have seen a team that actually attempts to attack.....hopefully the next 2 friendlies are better games and practiceOriginally posted by thetrinityComment -
next 2 games will definitely be a better judgment for america. better talent on the next 2 teams as well.Comment
