    Re: World Soccer XXVII: The REAL Football

    Is it just my imagination or do concacaf/south american games turn into debacles more than any other region?

      No. Frankly it's a real problem.

        In terms of what happens on the field? Probably. But Europe seems to have a way bigger problem with politics encroaching onto the game. Ex: Serbia v Albania.

          Stuff was thrown by Mexican fans? I dunno, that sounds pretty far fetched.

            The amount of diving was ridiculous. And the ref lost control about 2 minutes into the game. Did you notice how much heat the ref took from Uru players after the game.? I was trying to figure out what the goalie was so unhappy about.

              Panama scores pretty much immediately after they should have gone a man down.

                    I assume everyone saw how much Arsenal is offering Varny to leave LC?
                    And seriously, can't we get the National Anthems right? I mean, is it really that hard?

                      I can't wait to see Deadspin's article claiming that this is somehow MLS' fault.

                        Surprised it isn't up yet. I figured Haisley had that kind of stuff ready made.

                          I'm listening to a replay of yesterday's Counterattack on SiriusXM and one of the commentators threw out a lineup saying that that current pool screams 3-5-2.

                          --------Besler-----Brooks----Cameron------

                          Thoughts?

                            That would open things up for Bradley and allow him to be more offensively minded. Combine that with Nagbe and it gives us more striking capability... Downside is that it could open us up to a liability in transitional play/fast break possibilities... At this point might as well start Frankenstiening things...

                            Anywho, about to head down to start tailgating before the match... Not sure if anyone else is going, but it should be a fun one... Either way today and Philly on Saturday will be an experience for me...

                              So basically Nagbe for Zardes and Besler for Bedoya, then move the new guys back a bit to allow Fabian and Yedlin to play up?

                              I like that this pushes Yedlin and Johnson forward into positions that they've played well for their clubs. My memory of Besler's defending isn't great, though. I was more impressed with Zardes than I was with Bedoya, but otherwise I see this as a good improvement.

                                Yeah, I'm not sure who the best would be at "left back" in this formation but overall, I think it fits this team better...giving more chances for Yedlin and Johnson to trade off getting involved in the offense.
