[Wee Baby Seamus]

EPB to Porto?

Weren't Juve interested in him a little while back?

Yeah, it was heavily rumored back in 2014 but SKC didn't want to sell.

interesting lineup to say the least

 

[Brock Anton]

I'm assuming that's a 4-4-2 with Jones-Bradley central, which is all sorts of meh.

 

[Basement Cat]

Actually a solid lineup if it's a 4-2-3-1 and not the 4-4-2

Jones in is a minus though

You would think a 4-2-3-1 would be perfect here with Nguyen as a #10 and Bradley sitting deeper, but with Klinsmann's insistence of making Bradley a #10, I doubt it is.

 

[KingLB]

I hate that Orozco is still seeing mins...in my mind its cause Miazga left camp.

Like Acosta and Finlay getting time as well. Though hope a poor showing out of position doesn't set Acosta back. Many people wrote him off after a poor showing at the U20's where he was forced into the LB spot.

 

[Savant]

Very happy for Robles but really wanted to see Parker instead of Orozco

 

[Brock Anton]

Good god Jones.

 

[Brock Anton]

Uh, Besler....

 

[kingsboy11]

Jones just doesn't have it anymore.

And what the hell was Besler doing on the goal?

 

[varsaku]

wow this attendance

 

[Brock Anton]

Zardes bro

 

[kingsboy11]

wow this attendance

Us weak Californians don't exactly know how to deal with rain like this

 

[Brock Anton]

Nguyen has been excellent.

 

[kingsboy11]

Well isn't that a lovely start

 

[Brock Anton]

Besler is not having a good day.

 

[Brock Anton]

Kiesewetter has been very, very good.

 

[Brock Anton]

Defensively we were a horror show, but that was the first time in a long ass time that I actually had fun watching us attack.

 

[kingsboy11]

Nguyen and Kiessewetter looked really good today. Defense is laughable though. Can't blame any of the goals on Robles.

 

[Fro]

didn't get to watch, but congrats to Finley and Tchani for getting their first caps...

 

[Big McLargehuge]

wow this attendance

To be fair I don't think they even sold tickets outside of one section on that side of the field and the end filled out a bit better within a few minutes.

Sparsely attended to be sure, the rain definitely kept some people away and this was a game that simply wasn't marketed (I seriously didn't know both games were at the StubHub Center until a week ago and I'm a season ticket holder). I doubt Friday's match-up with Canada is much better.

Entertaining game to be at for sure, though not always for the proper reasons. That defense is a horror show.

Highlight was Finley falling on his ass about 5 times in the first 10 minutes...someone get that man a pair of cleats.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

That downpour in the first few minutes was brutal. Glad I had a raincoat.

Completely unveiled brag.
