And that’s what playing 352 or 3412 gives you, full backs able to dart inside and push a lot further up.

4608

Yeah, I mean. Thinking we could handle the Dutch is a bit naive.

4609

Holland vs Argentina is going be one bore of a game I feel.

If the Aussies can’t prevent it.

4610

Is Diego Simeone managing Holland?

Pulisic buries that chance in the opening minutes, it’s a different game.

Very very thin margins.

Just a reminder why ManU fired LVG. Very hard to watch.

Dutch handled the midfield way better than England. Forced us wide. You can see the quality gap. U.S. passes not incisive enough. When we get into good positions, not enough quality to do much with it. Similar to the other matches, except we’re not playing Iran or Wales.

Man Utd are hard to watch anyhow.

Well for their fans.

But he didn’t. Those are the type of opportunities Landon Donovan typically buried, and I think that’s the difference between those two players.

4616

The Dest run summed it up lots of huff and puff and no finish, then a minute later the Dutch score.

4617

There have been times when Holland have had 9-10 men in their own box.

I like Holland but not when they’re playing like this. They’re acting like they’re playing Brazil.

But in firing him to hire Maureen, makes no sense whatsoever!

Also the crowd sounds like a FIFA game.

In fact it sounds like a sensible world of soccer crowd, so flat.

4621

Well, is it an offence? :rofl: As in celebrating…

4622

Or lack of celebrating.

Just felt dull like if I was a neutral at a league 2 game.

4623

That’s harsh.

You shouldn’t forget a big reason why USA are in the last 16 is because of Pulisic’s winner against Iran, did USA ever get this far when Donavan was playing?

4624

If dutch sit behind ball second half usa will get one then it’s game on, i don’t think it’s done yet. A lot for USA to do, but LVG tactics should help us.

I’m still wondering instead of trying to get to the player why players slow down and still appeal offside, I assume it’s habit like but.
