I'll take "WTF was Guzan Doing?" for $200 Alex

[slag]

They're playing afraid IMO.

Guzan looks like a deer in the headlights.

The bullshit yellow card rules in this tournament fucked up this game before it started.

[McCarthy12]

Agree. He really isn't.

[IronEagle]

You're playing to protect that corner of the goal and you can't protect that corner?

Watching on replay, that kick was about perfectly placed.

[slag]

Guzan is (a) short ... (b) misplayed it ... he came forward before backing up

They only way that kick could have been more perfectly placed is if it had bounced off one of the bars before bouncing in.

[slag]

It still should have been stopped.

I'm just giving Messi credit.

[McCarthy12]

I agree. That was perfect. Not on Guzan imo. Bad turnover and foul by Wondo.

[slag]

Messi is the best player in the world ... but I still think the goalie should have covered that corner.

The entire team looks tentative.

[slag]

Guzan misplayed the ball and he's short ... lethal combo.

[McCarthy12]

I mean, he stuttered to his right because he thought that is where Messi was going to go with it and because it was a perfect shot he couldn't recover. Whatever. If Wondo doesn't stink, we aren't debating it. This is a bummer.

I do not believe it is possible for goleros to be physically able to cover the entire fútból goal. For example, penalty shots are a guess and a fake out job most of the time.

US has bigger problems than the portero, IMO.

I do think the Argentine golero is pretty good, though.

[slag]

He didn't have to cover the entire goal ... that's my point.

[slag]

Totally agree on Wondo ... I'd rather see a kid with a future out there, even if he made the same mistake ... at least he might learn something.

[RSE]

I think you are being hard on Guzan. That was a hell of a free kick.
