What's Brooks like? He looked at fault for the third but has made some last ditch tackles/interceptions. He's panicky and can't distribute the ball worth a damn, has no close ball skills, is strictly a big body hoof it long kind of player. |

0 shots on goal, 1 corner kick. Maybe even 0 shots total on or off target, 32% possession. Fuck off Klinsmann you fraud. It takes a lot to make Rojo, Mascherano, and Otamendi look imperious, and we did it. Or, rather, it takes a whole lot of nothing (which is what we offered) to make those guys look like they can stop time when they get the ball.
Oh well. I don't think anyone believed we would beat Argentina, so it's not surprising or anything, but on behalf of all underdog teams, we just hope our team shows a little life before the inevitable thumping. Tonight, we didn't. We were abject.
Over to you, Chile. Bring these mugs down a few pegs.
Alexi Lalas [who is usually a blowhard dope] in the post-game chat said that losing like this is "shameful," and while one of the other suits took issue with that term, I don't. It was shameful. We didn't give ourselves a chance to win or even play. Klinsmann's plan was pure taint, neither dick nor balls. We didn't press, we didn't try and spring a counter attack, and once we were down by 3 goals we just fucked off and didn't do a goddamn thing to change the game. Bradley and Yedlin did alright. Everyone else should just fuck off.

Could have been much worse for the USA. Luckily, the main striker today was Higuain, not Aguero.

. one for you mate.... www.football365.com/news/mediawatch-englands-obvious-next-moveTake off the blinkers, people We all have a plan on the next England manager. For most of us, that plan includes muttering the words ‘Southgate’, ‘Neville’ and ‘Pardew’ over and over in repeated disbelief. Others are thinking outside the box, believing that the Football Association may be forced to go foreign once more, given the lack of palatable English candidates. It’s a fair point. But one man isn’t just thinking outside the box, he’s busy burning that box before sending the ashes to all four corners of the globe. The Independent’s Mark Ogden laughs in the face of boxes. Boxes, schmoxes. ‘Why England should chase Jurgen Klinsmann to take over from Roy Hodgson,’ is the headline to Ogden’s piece, and that sound you can here is America saying “Huh?” in unison. Can you chase something that people are happy to hand over? ‘There would be a preference for an Englishman, but it would not be a necessity,’ Ogden states, perfectly reasonably. ‘Those parameters would instantly reduce the options available to the FA, but even if it looked beyond the shores of Great Britain towards Europe, who would spring out as an obvious choice? ‘Turn back to the Copa America, however, and perhaps the achievements of the USA in reaching the semi-finals, before losing to the team currently top of the FIFA world rankings, hints at Jurgen Klinsmann being the surprise name who would tick all of the FA’s boxes.’ Oh. Oh wow. Apropos of nothing, Ogden followed Klinsmann’s USA at the 2014 World Cup, filing seven pieces over the course of the tournament. A burgeoning bromance surely beckons. ‘Five years into his reign as head coach of the States, Klinsmann has only enhanced his reputation and that of the team he has now guided to the World Cup quarter-finals and the last four of the Copa America.’ Now Mediawatch isn’t an avid follower of the US national team, but we know enough to know that the last statement just isn’t true. Klinsmann didn’t guide USA to the World Cup quarter-finals. They were knocked out in the last-16. Secondly, Klinsmann has been widely derided by the American public for a series of underwhelming results and performances, and his very odd public persona. Indeed, fans flew a ‘Fire Klinsmann’ banner over a friendly in March. The FIFA rankings are not a perfect measure, but USA were ranked 29 when Klinsmann took over. They are now ranked 31. Ogden’s argument that ‘his time with the States has also elevated that nation as a respected force on the world stage’ is also highly optimistic. ‘Klinsmann answers each of the FA’s criteria for the role of England manager, but it appears that the blinkers are on and that the search may yet be restricted to within the confines of the Premier League,’ is Ogden’s final flourish. Yes, it’s definitely the FA that have the ‘blinkers on’ here.

Absolutely astounding that anyone would look at Klinsmann's 5 years in charge of USA's team and want some of that for themselves. Maybe Ogden's been involved with a very stealth piss-take? The way we went out in the World Cup was also a disgrace. Klinsmann! Fuck! We were a much, much better team in 2009, when we beat #1 ranked Spain in the Confederations Cup. It's actually making me angry, someone writing that Klinsmann has done a good job with the USA - unless they mean Klinsmann did a job on the USA. I feel like he's a total fraud, a chancer, and he's been found out. GRRRRR!

Argentina matured a bit as a team, definitely looking forward for tonight's final. This isn't an official Copa but they should never touch a trophy ever again.

Klinnsman lost me when he decided in his great German ego, to not take the USA's best player of all time during the last WC, and while he still had the ability to unseat most of the starting 11 at multiple positions. Landon Donavan got the screw job, and he should have been fired after the World Cup, case closed. We only see a few players who can compete at a international level, and I mean a very few. This should be laid right at Klinnsman feet for the failure to break through to a higher level.....
