I don’t want to dispute you, but if you look closely Rusin keeps switching his feet.
When a player keeps switching his dribbling feet its sometimes hard to tell which way he is going to go.
Normally you expect them to cut out and in and slalom when they switch from left to right. The defenders feared this and therefore gave him way too much space and respect.
For me, that’s the key to the success of this goal.
But yes, I agree. The defending was not up to snuff.
This was kind of a strange goal. Seemed like the defenders couldn’t believe the giant American was actually going to continue lumbering towards them. Josh Gatt’s goal with the double dip nutmeg is a bit more ‘must see’
Danny Califf was pretty decent there. Heath Pearce was quite good during his time there. Clarence Goodson is becoming a better player there. Holland/Denmark should be the destination for our guys to improve or grow.
My first thought was “wow!”. My second thought was “those defenders are playing in Denmark for a reason”. Still it was a nice finish and I’m glad to see an American make some effort.
In my biased opinion I think that was more of the defenders screwing up than the guy scoring. When Maradona did that he pwned every last defender. This guy just ran past them, still a good goal though.
For those of you asking who he is, he was the captain of the Carolina Railhawks until he was sold for I think around 200,000 (might be off there) with a sell-on clause. It was a nice piece of business for my Railhawks honestly. I’m sure any other Railhawk fans will post under me and agree that we’re still sad to see him go though.
He’s a good player and a I enjoyed watching him play for us. He’s got pretty good feet and passing ability for a centerback (by US standards) and is still only 24. If he does well he probably deserves at least a look for the nats.
Any chance we see this guy get a USMNT callup soon? Had never even heard of him, and a guy starting in the Superliga can’t be any worse than the disastrous Goodson/Ream combo
so many Americans trying their luck in Scandinavia. We need to sign some kinda Free Trade program for our players or something so they can head straight there. Let the Scandy clubs find gems in our university players or low payed MLS players and turn them into STARS.
I mean MLS can offer any Joe-unknown like $50-$75 K. Scandinavian clubs will pay you at the very least $200,000
was quite a player, and got hosed in the final last year with the red card. railhawks should have won that game.
nice try. if he was brazilian, he would’ve actually dribbled around someone…
If Rusin was Brazilian this video would have over 200,000 views
FROSTED GOON!!!!!!!!
But yeah, awesome goal.
A nice goal, but Rusin ran straight without dribbling, defenders were clueless.
But not in MLS?

It was a joke man haha
Awesome goal Brad! Keep it up. Good luck in Denmark!
you think its arabic? really?

you’re so hilarious dude.
I think it might be Danish but could also be Arabic lol
It was the defenders who did that. And we have lots of those 😀
Yeah, it was the Danish league, and the defenders were terrible.
Also can anyone figure out what language the announcers were speaking… it sounds Netherlandish 😛

Nice goal and all don’t get me wrong but it wasn’t all that. Also, horrific defending.
yup
Sorry, added an extra 0 in there. It was only for 20,000.
is this the same brad rusin, former UCLA player?

Who? Never heard of the guy.
WOW! Must see indeed. The next Messi in the making.
Pretty refreshing to see a guy bomb forward with the ball from the back.
Wow Herbalife is in Denmark?
Altidore. Davies. Well Altidore could if he tried anyway.
lets go railhawks

Wish we had strikers that could do that.
