Anyone watch the US vs. Ecuador game? Man o man, something needs to be done about the quality of US goal finishing? It seems like nobody has the ability to put the damn ball in the back of the net.

Bobby Wood, how the fuck does he not put that ball in the back of the net at the end of the game?

Saw the beginning anyway... Diskerud.

Yup good shot by Disk. I'm just really disappointed with our finishing as a team. US seems to have gotten really good at putting the ball in good spots but then our guys can't finish. Gotta to start putting some of these chances in the back of the net on a routine basis.

Something I've noticed about the team as a whole is they play too unselfishly at times, just one pass too many.

Fire should go after Diskerud, think Andy has the pockets?

I think NYCFC might make him an offer but we have already seen the Timbers and Crew try and get Mix without success.

NYCFC only has one more spot and the Xavi rumors are heating up again. Altidore should also be available... I just wish we got freaking Jermaine Jones.

So, not only does the MLS lose to the Chile's domestic league.....USA A-team loses to Chile's B-team.

Sigh

Tough game in Chile. The U.S. played well in the first half and created a lot of chances but the defense in the second half slacked off. On to the next game against Panama.

You should just copy and be ready to paste that next game.You could say that about the last 4 USMNT games...like, seriously.

Chicago teams are sometimes good and bad, sometimes they win and lose, but it really frustrates me when I see the USMNT play games like this.

Edit:Also, like I said, IMO this was a huge fail for the MLS as well. Chile's entire team was their domestic league...this was bad...

Meh, on the road against a top South American country, I was surprised we ever had a lead

But we need to be able to beat teams like that to have any chance at Cope America (even though it is at home)

Nah, the U.S. should be able to beat Panama at home.

Stupid post. Road game and US was up 2-1 when their best team was on the field. 2nd half was experimentation, trying some new faces.

I'm a couple days late, but that was a nice 2-0 win by the U.S. over a weaker opponent Panama. Of course, I watch every game and the one game I miss we actually win. Oh, and Bradley apparently did this:
