Oh great, we get to drag Memphis in the soccer thread now. Never stop, VN.

If they roll out a guy named Vanderbilt, I’m done!

 

[theFallGuy]

Barcelona fan?

Aren't we all?

 

[Nash_Vol97]

[theFallGuy]

Finally Weah with a shot on target

 

[C/O]

We will have 2 shots in the first half maybe?

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Welp

 

[KB5252]

That'll do it

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Selection of W Zimmerman did us in.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Ridiculous. Same issue as first goal.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

More of a Bayern Munich guy, myself.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Selection of W Zimmerman did us in.

That was Dest fault too, not just Zimmerman.

 

[TrueOrange]

Welp, this is over.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

That was Dest fault, not Zimmerman.

He’s gassed.

 

[C/O]

Bring on the legs Gregg.

 

[TrueOrange]

The Dutch look disinterested or something.

Yep. To be fair that didn't really look like they were trying too hard

You jinxed them today.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Damn that hurts

 

[hUTch2002]

Well this one is over. We just have zero backside defense. I mean none.

 

[theFallGuy]

It doesn't matter. If we could finish better on the other end it would be a tie game. Pulisic missed 2 open looks in the first half

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Reyna needs to get in this game. McKennie has been a ghost. Aaronsons energy is needed badly, bring him in. Ferreira has done nothing but I don’t know how much you can blame him, middle is clogged bad and he’s not going to out physical anyone.

 

[theFallGuy]

We struggled offensively against Iran like this too. I don't feel defense has been a problem

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Ridiculous. Same issue as first goal.

Just outclassed as usual, and I don’t mean that as badly as it sounds.
Until the US gets serious about soccer, like the other major sports, this will always be the case.
The US produces way too many top flight athletes, not to be a soccer power, imo.
I like soccer and would give anything to see this happen!

I hoped Robinson could contain Dumfries on the right because Robinson has got the speed to recover, but Dumfries has assisted both goals with slicing back against the defense.

That second goal Hurst so bad because we had so much possession and were getting good looks.

except for the two major defensive lapses that gave them great chances...

Man, I’m impressed! You guys really know your futbol!
