It also helped that Atletico completely stopped trying to attack and fell into super defense mode. Prevent defense is never the way to go.Real deserved to win really but I wouldn't call that a choke necessarily, Real is a great attacking team and one of those chances was bound to go in. In extra time they were completely exhausted from the constant pressure and the one injured dude was totally useless.
It isn't that they stopped, it's that they aren't much of an attacking team nor do they have any players that are particularly skilled at dribbling or passing.It also helped that Atletico completely stopped trying to attack and fell into super defense mode. Prevent defense is never the way to go.
He did play a number of years for Roma, so maybe it's time he go back overseas.That was indeed Bradley, he was ridiculous yesterday and looks like he should playing in a top tier league.
Other than the keeper, I think Bradley is the best US Player. It's good, I suppose that Altidore scored twice, but I have very little faith in him moving forward.He did play a number of years for Roma, so maybe it's time he go back overseas.
About 2 years or so ago, Messi started to produce for Argentina as he had for so long with Barcelona.In my mind there is a ton of pressure on Messi in this world cup. Will he respond?
It was fun while Croatia had the lead but everyone knew FIFA wasn't going to let them get a draw in their first match on their own soil.I'm surprised @Texas Ace and Carl aren't giddy chatting up the World Cup.
Being down here in Miami you can definitely tell there's more excitement for the Cup than in other areas of the US that I've lived in.
Croatia just went up 1 - nil on Brazil on a Brazilian kicking it into his own goal.
