US needs better ball handling. Can't string together a few good passes and possessions to go up field.

I don't know the context of the conversation but Messi's go-ahead goal was "coming up big" regardless of the expectations.
1-0 to a 2-0 lead is "go-ahead"?

I thought it was 1-1 at the time but regardless it the insurance goal they needed for the 3 points because the scoreline ended 2-1. You can't discredit that.

I'm not discrediting it nor did I... it was a terrific goal, I just would make sarcastic remarks about Messi and everyone on this board would lose their mind because you ride Messi's D so hard.

NFL Pick 'em

Even when we get the ball in space, we're not doing anything with it. They don't look confident in the system because they're looking around too much instead of just playing the ball. Those delays let Ghana close the gaps. We look like we're on our heals right now.

Chana's midfield is fast and strong.

He said we looked like a boxer whos taken a couple of punches with all the injuries. We need to get a goal off the counterattack to go up 2-0 or as the game goes along the pressure of 1-0 could lead to defensive lapses.
