  1. It says alot about US soccer, that our two best field players are not the most naturally gifted players in Bradley and Dempsey.Both have gotten to a high level through hard work and determination.Compare that to Adu & EJ who both have much more natural talent but lack the drive of the former two.

  2. Bradley was great. The whole team was completely dominant, the simply can’t finish the last 3 weeks. They’ve missed chance after chance after chance.

  3. And Madrid score on a counter after a corner basically and they are up 1-0 early on…I know there’s a ton of games left, 18 I believe but it would be nice if they tied or loss so Barca could keep at lest 16 points worth of a lead….would love them to be able to take it easy the last 6 games if they maintain their lead over Real and Atletico to give the young Barca players like Tello, Thiago, Montoya, Bartra, Planas and others even Jonathan Dos Santos some minutes towards the last month of La Liga and because if anyone can go on a 12 game winning streak is Real lol

    • If anyone can hold Madrid, it should be Valencia CF in La Mestalla. Unfortunately this match is not like their meeting at the end of last season.

      • Yeah I know….Barca just needs to regroup and get back holding possession. Real Sociedad has always given the problems the last 3 seasons…they had tied and lost a game the last 2 times they played away to them…. I swear the Basque region has some great players and teams…. but they need to tear up Osasuna to get back on track next weekend….

        Gosh as for Valencia, just when I think they might be making a push for the top 4 again…they get destroyed by Real….

  4. Watching the Roma v Inter game. Bradley’s passing game is a joy to watch. His defense is no laughing matter either. He needs to play higher up the pitch to add bite to the offense. He forced a turnover and drew a penalty.

    • Are you watching it on RAI? If so I’m guessing you have cable? Because I was trying to help someone find it on DirecTv but I found out they don’t carry RAI…

  5. Noriega scores in stoppage time for Puebla, as they beat Santos 2-1.I think Benji Joya was prob in the stands with the u-20s rather than the Santos bench.Anyways as I end the commentarry with myself ,anyone know what the heck RAI is and if the channel is available on direct tv?Trying to catch Inter-Roma.

    Reply
    • It’s a channel from Italy I believe….I don’t think DirecTv offers no…but I suppose you have already looked for it? Oh and I think Joya was not with the U-20s however….Beasley made it happen towards the end with that near miss on his off foot and by him pressuring Baloy which lead to free kick of the game winning goal

      • Well, my Pumas can’t seem to get it right no matter what… Funny how Xolos can come from near sea level Tijuana and seem to have no fitness issues at altitude–they even looked more fit than Toluca in the Apertura final.
        Other notes–commentators picked on “Homey” Castillo a bit, perhaps unfairly, Pumas also tried to, but they never got much going on the right. Also, I don’t think Leandro Augusto has ever made even the bench for a game against his old team, either suspension or injury. Also, Joe Benny was out injured.
