It seems that Jozy is playing like a 19 year old...appears very timid right now on the field. He needs to used his physical body to win his battles.
From BBC's blog of the game: " That is an absolutely brilliant breakaway goal - and USA have incredibly doubled their lead. Brazil are attacking relentlessly and they give the ball away - Landon Donovan takes possession, finds Charlie Davies and races forward, collects Davies' return pass, takes a brilliant touch to create room on the edge of the Brazil box and fire left-footed into the far corner past Julio Cesar. Phenomenal." I'm loving it!
You guys have really good D, this game has been really fun to watch......I don't think Brazil can come back from 2-0, but they have been consistent in their pressure.
Davies missed Altidore on another counter attack or else it could be an even bigger lead..... And Jose needs to learn to play harder.....he quits so often and tosses his hands up.... Great strikers get up and go right back at it....don't quit, you never know if it might come right back, or take a weird bounce. DD
Brillant first half...need to stop being content by just clearing the ball especially in the next half. Brazil will bring numbers forward and we just need to show composure on the ball and might can get another counter attack goal (maybe in the first 10-15 mintues). Have to keep the work rate up - there is no reason to not leave everything on the field (youre in the final of a FIFA tournament).
too much time given in the box...maybe this will allow us to play with a little more direction forward instead of set back for 45 minutes.
I hear you DD...but Davies and Dempsey has missed him twice now where he has made a good run into space for a goal scoring oppurtunity.
True, but he quits on the ball far too often and rarely gets back...Davies is hustling everywhere....I want a Rooney type of striker a guy who gets after it for 90+ DD
