IGT 8/14 Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. United States (ESPN2)

[BillikenBear]

Usually I'm proud of anyone that comes from SLU, but not this time.

 

[BillikenBear]

Bad giveaways at the midfield and too much firepower from Bosnia leads to a 2-0 Bosnia lead at the half.

 

[Jntg4]

Meh half, not sharp but not AS bad as score line suggests IMO, occasional defensive lapses killing us. Few interesting runs.

 

[Jntg4]

Still don't get why Mexico plays so many games in the US though.

What do you mean by that?

What do you mean by that?

How they play a lot of "home" games in the US instead of Mexico.

And Johnson!!! 2-1!!!

 

[BillikenBear]

GOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLL! Pass over the top to Altidore pulls Begovic out of position, JA controls it for EJ who slots it home. US down 1-2.

Really? I never noticed that, that's kind of weird lol.

 

[BillikenBear]

US switch to a straight up 4-4-2, which I like to see. Hoping Johannsson comes in sometime for EJ, who despite the goal, has had some awful first touch.

Ya they were talking earlier about them beating Bosnia at Soldier Field, and they are in New Jersey against Côte d'Ivoire.

Altidore!!!!! We are level!

 

[BillikenBear]

GOAL! ALTIDORE! US level it 2-2

During HT? Ahh missed it when I muted it and went to get something to eat haha. It might be the opposition would rather play in the US? I'm not sure...

 

[BillikenBear]

Johannsson on for EJ and Corona on for Bedoya.

Might have to do with economics or the large Hispanic population here or perhaps the fact that they are still supposedly more popular in the US than the US is. :shrug: That said, it's not like they have trouble selling out Estadio Azteca.

 

[Jntg4]

Kljestan, hey DePaul: :fap:

 

[BillikenBear]

Sacha "The Stache" Klejstan in for Jones. Good sub, Jones looks out of it today.

 

[BillikenBear]

Johannsson! :fap:

 

[BillikenBear]

Parkhurst in for F. Johnson.

 

[Jntg4]

Jozy Fucking Altidore!!!! 3-2 USA!!!!!

 

[BillikenBear]

ALTIDORE! On another level! FK curls into the upper 90! US up 3-2!
