US-Czech match
Jun. 12th, 2006 02:08 pmWell, that has to be one of the most disappointing games I've ever seen the US play. We were flat, uninspired, slow, and uncoordinated. They outplayed us, they outshot us, and they outmanned us. Literally--it was like watching a high school team playing a pro team. If we're going to field a team that is smaller and weaker than our opponents, we need to be faster and more subtle. We bumbled. We couldn't pass consistently. I don't think we won a single header. We put no pressure on the Czechs. We left key Czech players wide open and unmarked. We made low, slow, weak crosses. We were, to put it simply, awful. If this is the best performance the US can put on, we deserve to plummet straight out of the opening round.
Win, lose, or draw, if we're not better than this, if we don't play better than this agaisnt Italy, I don't know if I'm even going to bother watching the last match.
