The Soccer Thread (Version 8)

The end of that game was bonkers. That is maybe the best friendly win I can remember.

 

Bradley's run ... MAGESTERIAL!

 

I'm in the tank for Bradley, but he was ridiculous with the passes today. And that run to set up the goal was Raygasm worthy.

Having said that, we were lucky not to concede 8.

 

Big win the U-20s in their World Cup.

USMNT just beat Germany, 2-1, in a friendly.

Go watch the goals by Mix and Bobby Wood. Wowsers, both of them.

 

And Bradley almost scored directly from a corner.

 

Just glimpsed the highlights at the gym. The save in the last minute looked pretty impressive

 

Diskerud's goal was very well done. Haven't seen the winner yet.

 

U20s lose 6-5 in eight rounds of PKs to Serbia last night.

 

Watched it this morning. Odd game -- both teams had great chances but neither really ever bossed the game. We should have put a few of our second hand chances away. The penalties were ugly -- our keeper let in a super soft one which hit him in the hand and somehow squirted under his body.
