Rossi was good as was Cassano. Sirigu was by far MOTM. Marchisio was great and Veratti did well too.

Very disappointing performance from Immobile. Paletta and Motta looked like jokers. De Sciglio looked like an amateur footballer when trying to attack, defence was fine though. The worst part of the match was obviously the tragic injuries to Montolivo and Aquillani.

Father

De Sciglio had noted unfitness this whole month and hasn't played on the left for quite a while. Understandable.

Montolivo:"Mi sono rotto"

USA looking good so far against Turkey.

by McLewis Mon Jun 02, 2014 5:15 am

USA Lineup against Turkey:

Howard; Johnson, Besler, Cameron, Chandler; Jones, Zusi, Davis, Bradley; Dempsey, Altidore

by McLewis Mon Jun 02, 2014 5:16 am

Deuce destroying a Turkey defender with a excellent piece of skill.

by McLewis Mon Jun 02, 2014 5:28 am

Turkey making mincemeat of the US defense. No communication or positioning. You can tell these lads haven't played together at all.

by McLewis Mon Jun 02, 2014 5:32 am

JOHNSON!

1-0 USA

Excellent goal there.

by rwo power Mon Jun 02, 2014 5:35 am

Germany almost scored a few seconds after kick-off. I hate "Almost", btw.

by rwo power Mon Jun 02, 2014 5:36 am

Not bad - 3 minutes, three chances. But still 0:0.

by Nishankly Mon Jun 02, 2014 5:36 am

English stream for the Germany game anyone?

by rwo power Mon Jun 02, 2014 5:37 am

Sorry, watching at ARD. Which means ard.de should have a German stream (for German proxy)

by McLewis Mon Jun 02, 2014 5:46 am

Bradley learned so much from Totti. This is evident in his passing technique, which was good before, but is excellent now. Been good as the trequartista today.

by rwo power Mon Jun 02, 2014 5:47 am

Cameroon look very aggressive. I hope no one gets injured.

by nasir6371 Mon Jun 02, 2014 5:53 am

Hard challenges from cameroon

by rwo power Mon Jun 02, 2014 5:55 am

Yeah. The referee should get out some yellows, I think. So far only one guy got booked.

by McLewis Mon Jun 02, 2014 5:59 am

HT in Joisy. USA looking good up front, mixed bag in the midfield and poor defensively.

It's the positioning that's the big issue. Can't leave any of the teams in our group with anywhere near that type of space.

Oh and Timmy Chandler is not the answer at LB. Just not seeing it.

by RedOranje Mon Jun 02, 2014 6:03 am

Altidore is having a good match so far. He's using his strength well and not giving the Turkish defense any rest when they have the ball. Amazing how much better he looks in system that actually tries to get the ball to the forwards and then support them one they have it.

Also, Reus looks like a bit of a knob with his two different coloured boots.

by Tomwin Lannister Mon Jun 02, 2014 6:05 am

Gonna have a look at France now, mainly for Pogba.

by Tomwin Lannister Mon Jun 02, 2014 6:06 am

Always liked the look of Valbuena.
