US v. Canada

Actual Lineup:

Keller
Hejduk Gooch Boca Bornstein
Donovan Bradley Mastroeni Beasley
Dempsey Johnson

No Feilhaber

 

Chat room anyone?

 

WTF?????!!!!!!!

 

How the hell is Bradley in over Feilhaber???

Do we actually need to start worrying about nepotism at the USMNT level?

 

I'm not sure. Somewhere deep down I suspect that Feilhaber will not start in the final (if we get there), but I'm hoping he's just getting a two game rest since he played every game in the group stages.

 

Bradley is vindicated in his choice of Hejduk.

1-0 USA

 

Bradley has done a fantastic job out there in the first half winning the 50/50 ball, tackling well and linking up with the forwards. No nepotism at all. Feilhaber will be in for the final without a question, but I don't question Bradley for starting his son.

Wonderful first half and the yanks 2 canuks 0.

 

I didn't expect Bradley to be playing, but he's been solid. No complaints here.

I hate to complain, but I don't think Donovan was diving when he took his yellow.

Canada is good and this is by no means in the bag.

 

I wouldn't be amused by this if we were losing, but:

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA! Landon swung and missed at that ball like Charlie Brown having the football yanked away from him. Hilarious.

 

Couldn't believe it but it did give me a good laugh. Nicely done Donovan.

 

Eddie Johnson looks like he should be subbed.

 

Or that he shouldn't of started the match...

 

Seriously EJ is not taking this seriously...no killer instinct.

 

And the lack of killer instinct bites the U.S again...2-1

 

Straight Red for Bradley...warranted. Terrible way for Bradley to go after such a great game for him. Gutted for him.

 

well, no Bradley for the Final...

 

Seriously...this game should have been 3-0 several times in the early 2nd.

Letting opponents back in the game is something that has got to STOP.

 

Wow...justice was not served today. A legitimate goal was disallowed and Canada can hold their heads high. No shame and how they went out.

Man of the Match: Hejduk...without question the best player on the park.

 

Linesman got it wrong, we probably would have lost this game in extra time, and we got lucky. This is a disturbing trend and I hope Bradley roasts them for it.

 

The disallowed goal...ouch. Agreed, the U.S. failed to capitalize on far too many chances. The U.S. needs more fight in its belly...
