USMNT

[Red Reign]

US is once again fading in the second half.....this has become a mantra....

 

[Red Reign]

Defending once again has not been stellar for the USA....

 

[Red Reign]

Anyone surprised?

Brian Straus @BrianStraus · Granted I'm sitting behind a row of standing Colombian fans, but Beckerman looks like best US man so far


Brian Sciaretta @BrianSciaretta · Heck of a half there from Kyle Beckerman who has been a rock for the <s>#</s>usmnt


Why he did not play against Belgium in the WC is still the million dollar mystery....

 

[Red Reign]

USA is hanging on again in the second half.....75 minutes gone.....

 

[Red Reign]

Yup

Kyle McCarthy @kylejmccarthy ·Desperate defensive actions here from <s>#</s>USMNT for majority of second half.

 

[Red Reign]

Ben Jata @Ben_Jata ·If it's Diskerud vs Nguyen, I'm goin <s>#</s>MVLee all day. <s>#</s>USMNT offers absolutely nothing going forward besides Yedlin. <s>#</s>USAvCOL


Yup little to no offense again by the USA....

 

[Red Reign]

So far it has....no killer instinct at all....

Brian Sciaretta @BrianSciaretta The last three games the <s>#</s>usmnt has been poor in the second half. Will it continue? This will be a true test

 

[Red Reign]

Doug McIntyre @DougMacESPN ·Lee Nguyen steps on the field for the <s>#</s>usmnt for the first time in over seven years. <s>#</s>USAvCOL

 

[Red Reign]

Ives Galarcep @SoccerByIves ·Lee Nguyen replaces Diskerud in the 78th minute. Let's see if the Revs star can help USA keep the ball, which they haven't done all day.

 

[Red Reign]

Ben Jata @Ben_Jata Lee Nguyen in the game less than two minutes and already gives <s>#</s>USMNT its best look at goal all game. <s>#</s>USAvCOL

 

[Red Reign]

Brilliant header by Columbia and they take the lead.....hard to argue as they have been by far the better team and once again the USMNT plays poorly in the second half and concedes a goal late in the game....

 

[Red Reign]

Ives Galarcep @SoccerByIves ·Gutierrez heads home the Cardona pass. Gutierrez beats Green easily on the back-post.

 

[Red Reign]

As Twelman just said these second half swoons and late goals being conceded are becoming concerning.....

 

[Red Reign]

Grant Wahl @GrantWahl · US gives up a lot of late goals. Teo with the easy finish. Colombia 2:1 USA.

 

[Red Reign]

Columbia wins 2-1.....only goal by the USA was a early PK.....

Second half swoons and late goals conceded for 4 straight games....

USA has not played well since Brazil because of the second half swoons....and these games featured veteran heavy squads....
