PANDO! or GORDO?
PANDO!+ Again, it’s so important that they play warmup matches that test and stretch the side and they got that against TUR .. .. TUR was a step faster and crisper from the whistle and ran wild through the midfield in the first half .. .. USA picked up their flank attack when they switched LANDON & BENNY, moving LANDON to the left and BENNY to the right .. ..
And, if the second half is the true USA, then ENG could be in deep trouble with CLINT on the left and JOSE in the middle .. .. But, even early on, the attack came from the flanks unlike Tuesday v. CZE .. .. USA flanks pumped in 13 crosses today – five by Landon alone!
LANDON DONOVAN:
Took over the match and created every chance the USA had .. .. Found JOZY & CLINT for their goals but was sending in hard, low crosses and CKs all match long .. .. We love you Landon!CLINT DEMPSEY:
Hustled in the first half, but his first-touch wasn’t there .. .. Moved out to the left in the second half and scored the winner on a beautiful ball from LANDON .. ..BENNY FEILHABER:
Proved his pitch vision and first touch are first-rate .. .. Blossomed when he moved to the right in the first half .. ..JOZY ALTIDORE:
Dangerous in the opportunities he had – Nifty tap-aroound to accelerate past his markers and send in a sweet []-ball that CLINT almost got to .. .. Tapped home the equalizer from LANDON .. ..MICHAEL BRADLEY:
Hustled and got stuk-in .. ..ROBBIE FINDLEY:
In his 45 minutes, he showed that he may be up to the INT level with his hustle and passing touch .. ..JAY DEMERIT:
Solid in the back today and has the best long-passing ability of all the defenders .. ..FRANCISCO TORRES:
Came in at the half and solidified the middle with his vision and passing (16-of-19) today .. .. Even showed his grit with a couple of nice slide-tackle steals .. .. Almost snuck home a well-hit FK .. .. He is INT class!JONATHAN BORNSTEIN:
Every time TUR took the ball down the right-flank, JB was left in flames and a TUR scoring opportunity ensued .. .. If JONATHAN sees any time in South Africa, he becomes the new WC Gordo! Dios Mio .. ..USA MoM:
LANDON DONOVAN – Please keep it up! Well Done!TUR MoM:
TUNCAY SANLI – Twisted the USA like a pretzel all match long
