  1. I said it on another post……much smarter people have a different assessment of his talent. Beas made a huge error against Brasil and his confidence cratered. At his best, he’s one of the best talents the US has produced, if he he can reclaim his past ability, it’s only good for us. why continue to bury him?

  2. Can’t wait till MLS teams can pass the ball at that speed and accuracy. Not for only passing sake, (of course) but for goal scoring (in the net) results.

    It’ll come…

    In 20 years (give or take a decade.)

  3. disagree, your take lacks accuracy imo

    Beasley, and I love him, struggled mightily (nice word) at WC 2006 under Bruce Arena. That performance set him back in the USMNT.

    anyway, sooo glad to watch play yesterday, I saw most of that game, and to see him playing for USMNT. He was open in space other times too and received no service. has always been a tricky and tenacious little defender as well

  4. I’ve got some flack for you, but it’s about the notion that trying Beasley at LB was foolish. He’s got great defensive skills, and everything else we tried up to that point wasn’t cutting it. Worth a try I say, and it’s a shame the attempt happened to coincide with a dip in form.

  5. Yup. For the longest time the guy couldn’t control the ball worth of crap and now he’s not only controlling the ball well, but he’s doing it in a smart way. Dragged it right out of the defender’s path and put himself in a great spot. The guy might just be back.

  6. Seriously. I get so sick of people complaining about Fox Soccer not being in HD. Who gives a f**k? Be glad you get any in the first place. Moreover, be glad you get to watch your favorite team/players in the first place.

  7. What did you watch before HD?.. I’m guessing you missed out on some great games in the past… I don’t give a damn if a tv is running on 10p or static mode, I’m watching some futbol!

  8. Seems like he’s fitting in really well with the team down there. I hope the situation doesn’t get too dangerous for him, because I agree that the Mexican League is a really nice fit for his game.

  9. To be fair, Bob only used (foolishly, I may add) Beas at LB once vs. Costa Rica I believe. We lost 3-0 or 3-1 and Bob never played him back there again.

    Beas is a legend and I’m rooting for him to make the 2014 side if he continues this form.

    I may catch some flack for this but I’d like to see him as one of our over-age players in London. He’s played in some of the most important games in USMNT history and he’d bring the right kind of veteran leadership to a very young midfield.

  10. It’s hard to do amazing things when BB sticks you at LB and then assumes many on SBI that he sucks. Beas is a legend with the USMNT; you wouldn’t know that if you became a supporter in the last 5 years.

  11. He may not have a story like Jay Demerrit, but a book following Beasley’s career would be a lot more interesting than books about pretty much all other American soccer players playing now.

  12. After the way his time in Scotland ended, and his stop over in Germany I’m glad Beasley has found a hoke in Mexico. The style down there suited for him, not too physical, offensively minded and with a high pace. I think Beasley could have essentially a second career down in Mexico. It seems like all too often people forget just how important Beasley was to the US. He, and Donovan really ushered us into the generation were seeing now.

  13. If he gets a bonus for goals scored hopefully he gets to keep it..

    “..Beasley, 29, revealed on Twitter that twice in the past week Mexican police had stopped his car and demanded bribes, threatening to confiscate his driver’s license.”

  14. Lets hope he can get back to form, hell he can only push our other lefties or left wingers to be better. Shea can learn a thing or two about finish at the moment, and he could groom guys like Gyau, Johnson ( not that he needs it that much) and maybe even Pontius when he gets healthy. I hope he does well, want to see the America goals because they scored 3 even tho 1 was BS but want to see if Michael Orozco did okay or was at fault in any of them?

    Reply
  15. I believe he can. Since getting healthy he has not has much time on the field for the usmnt. He may very well be a factor off the bench in the 2014 wc.
