The goal wasn't entirely his fault. It was that idiot Lahoud.

If Williams clears the ball out instead of trying to dribble past 8 attackers...

Williams can do what he wants.

I'll allow (because he'll be with the national team at some point), but not when it results in a loss to the worst team in the world*

*according to Koevermans

In fairness to him, he is an attacking right back, but he has been played in the middle recently; he has to learn to be more conservative in his play there.

Yeah, forgot they moved him in because Califf became "useless". It's a shame, right backs and left backs aren't groomed in the US or MLS -- the best defenders play as center backs, and everyone else just fills in.

Exactly. There are too many "utility players." The Farfan twins are incredibly talented attacking midfielders, and yet they have been playing at left wing or left back for the majority of their time here. There's no specialization.

lol we won.

The two worst teams in the world, and we saw why.

Disgraceful game lol. Looked like it was a game of Stuart Downings vs Stuart Downings if Downing was even more shit.

The only moment of quality was Farfan's ridiculous 30 yard shot off of the crossbar.

Our goal was so shit. It looked like Koevermans wasn't even trying, he hardly even hit the first shot he just tapped it at the goalkeeper and luckily he spilled it right to him.

He's clearly too cool for the worst club in the world.

After the game, he was clearly celebrating and swaggering about as if he scored that goal for himself, and not the team. At least, that is the impression I got.

Well now you can watch a real team -- United.

kinda expected us to lose honestly we are dreadful and played some youngins

hype killed him already, he's the next Adu. Soon he'll leave the MLS not to be seen again for years

I don't think he'll be Adu, but the hype was too much. Being knocked down by Hans and the US might have been the best thing to happen to him.

San Jose Earthquakes are doing well this season. Been following them since they are my local team and play at my university. Would go to more matches but hate our old university stadium. The new one is suppose to be built soon but construction still hasn't started.

Was disappointed to see Wondolowski not get subbed in during the US beat down on Scotland.

we traded Danny Mwanga for Jorge Perlaza from the Timbers. Is he any good?

Hes...................fast?

we already have fast guys

I swear we're the only MLS team that doesn't have someone that's fast as fuck.

Always thought Plata and Johnson were a bit quick.

Might be getting this off fifa though.

Plata sure looked pretty quick against Santos Laguna.

Then again, pretty much everyone in Mexican football is overweight.

TBH think Plata looks quicker than he is because he is like 4' 11''. He is pretty quick though to be fair. Johnson isn't really that quick, he's not slow by any means but pace isn't really his #1 weapon.

And also Winter has "stepped down"

going to the first Union gamein the no Nowak era. This could get ugly.

This break has been so annoying. Bring back MLS yo.
