Expected to wake up to a 3-0 loss after the first half. Very pleasant surprise.

I'll try to start individual game threads for the rest of WCQ... at least until the magic wears off.

Brooks was very poor in his 1.5 games (He did not play El Salvador). He has never been fast but his tactical awareness is usually much better. With that said at least in this match the lack of Adams in front of him really hurt.Mathguy64 said:
I just hope Greggggg learns his lesson. That 1H lineup he trotted out was a pure dog crap as it could be from a personnel and tactical perspective. I'm glad he fixed it at HT but still he can't give a half away like that.
My only thought is that he was trying to buy 45 minutes of rest for the first teamers he brought in.
I will also give him credit for yanking Brooks. He had played as poorly as he could possibly play for 2.5 games. It took some courage I thought to sit him. You don't see coaches pull CBs often. Especially veteran CBs.
I didn't see their goal but heard he stopped running again. If he keeps going against Canada, he blocks that cross. I'm done with his lack of effort.AustinScubaAg said:Brooks was very poor in his 1.5 games (He did not play El Salvador). He has never been fast but his tactical awareness is usually much better.

We're counting on you, the team is counting on you, the entire country Is Counting On YOU... until the magic wears off...jeffk said:

Bello was like 5 seconds too late in getting over to cover, but yeah, just bad all aroundMathguy64 said:
Yeah. There was a foul in the buildup. And for a half a beat the US players stopped playing expecting a whistle. That did the damage leaving the players on the wing and running the channel unmarked.
Its not solely on him, but he shares responsibility. He steps up, and then just jogs slowly backjeffk said:
okay... so the goal last night wasn't on Brooks IMO. He steps up to stop the Honduran attacker and actually slows the advance (fouls the guy too) but then play continues on. The rest of the backline gets their marking confused and Bello is too slow getting back and lets his man get goalside to score.
Since we are Aggies here, traditionally it doesn't have to be Jeffk that starts the thread it just NEEDS to follow the same formatting. So the pressure isnt all on him, lolKevin the 3-legged dog said:jeffk said:

I think it calls for a perma ban if someone else starts it.
