They're probably looking for an OL, now too.

 

[Flyotes]

So many quality chances squandered.

 

[Jack de la Hoya]

Chris Wondolowski (sp?) does not belong on a World Cup team.

Agreed.

Chris Wondolowski (sp?) does not belong on a World Cup team.

he is their best striker off the bench. he deserves to be on the team

and that's it God damn it.

[Embiid]

That sucked! Great game by Howard...squandered.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

yeah lets blame Wondo when they defended 85 percent of the game at least.
ok then

 

[Jack de la Hoya]

Simply not enough skill / class. Not even close to enough.

I'm no Donovan fanboy, but the decision to leave him off an include Wondowloski will always be bizarre to me. I don't care how many MLS goals he scores, he's always looked out of place on the national team (in my admittedly limited viewing). If Altidore doesn't get hurt, maybe it doesn't matter. But they needed to be able to bring someone on who could finish at a critical time.

Not sure who you are addressing, but no one blamed him for the loss. They were clearly outplayed and the game should have been about 5-0 when that chance fell to Wondo.

The fact that he was their best option off the bench is a symptom of the problem--a chasmic gap in skill on the frontline.

 

[Jtown]

if dempsey had taken a better first touch on that free kick he wouldve had a goal.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Amazing game; one of the most entertaining of the tournament.

 

[Striiker]

One minute of stoppage time? You kidding me?

 

[JVR21]

One minute of stoppage time? You kidding me?

The Belgians milked at least 5 in the final 15 minutes with fake injuries and 2 minutes walks across the pitch for subs.

As the US would have done, if they were leading.
