Tajon looking tired or just better opposition?

I thought he was the only dangereous guy going forward for us...the Fox commentators have said the same thing

[JohnnyFranchise]

Much better last 20 minutes or so, just about evened out the possession and shots. Lacking some jam in the final third but it was much better.

[The Beaver 2.0]

Finished quite strong. We look a tad fitter. I like what I saw in the last 15 or so minutes. We've got a goal in us yet.

[dyslexic nam]

Well, on the bright side it is only 1-0 and we have looked a lot better for the last 20-25 minutes. Looks like we could definitely grab a goal and get back on level ground.  Just gotta make sure we do t come out sluggish in the 2nd half.

Yes.

We came back in to this relatively meaningless match, we were Concacafed, those of you ripping on a couple of players I ask, who was really good that half? I like the  possession we were starting to play, it would have been nice to be level at the half if corruption didn't rear its ugly head!

We are missing Eustaquio big time.

Fraser instead of Eustaquio... yikes.

Piette in the mid doesn't help either

Handcuffed by the formation against a good team.

[JuicyHam]

If Cavallini wasn't on a yellow and if this game wasn't mostly meaningless in the grand scheme of things he would perfect to disrupt the box in the second half 

[One American]

Trust me, on the question of intensity, I am 100 percent right. The US goal was scored in the locker room.

Fraser is playing more of the MAK role who struggled against weaker opposition.

[Hawkguy]

We really need TSN or Sportsnet to pick up the games. The commentating so fucking terrible that I'm almost cheering for the US. Holy fuck. I'll have to see if the French feed is there when the second half starts. 

As far as the game.. we need to make the goalie make a save at this point. We've been buzzing but it's still resulted no real good shots. We've been in the area though that he should have had to make a couple great saves by now.

No.  You're wrong.  End of debate.

He's suspended so it doesn't matter either way.

Piette has been far, far better defensively.  Fraser has been a passenger out there.

Imagine spending your life lurking on forums of other teams.

Trolololol

[toontownman]

States sitting pretty. Playing the game in quarters. Not sure if we were aware of that and not getting drawn into tiring ourselves out in the heat or just not up to par too really push after the drinks break but they strategically sat back and conserved energy. Expect them to come hard in the second half. Likely to try and finish it and then sit back for a period again. 

Encouraging end to the half but the states let us do it.

[TOcanadafan]

Seeing that foul on Laryea again I change my mind - has to be penalty.  And a red card!  Same as DeLigt in Euro… falling down and purposefully taking out player and handling ball

Really, maybe you are on the wrong board!

[shorty]

Couple of times near the end that we needed to be more selfish in front of goal. Brutal start but it’s coming slowly.  We’re going to score. Just a matter of when. Feel for Akinola.

Piette's passing has also been much better than Fraser, despite passing range being one of Liam's alleged strengths.

Im happy to see Buchanan on the right.  Maybe this opens space for him.

And a drill for Ocho when Phonzie is back.

Yah, tajon is getting pulled back a bit. Also you have to know the US knows he's our danger man in this game so they're set up for him. Much better the latter part of the half when herdman started moving him around to find space for him.

I mean not meaningless. Losing likely puts us on the Mexican side of the bracket.
