After watching this video, I think it would be really interesting to hear Ian Darke call a Tennessee football game… Oh well, one can dream can’t they?
Deadspin had this to say about last night 1-1 draw between the US and Mexico:
“The USMNT (United States Men’s National Team) evened their match against Mexico at one in the 73rd minute on this goal by Robbie Rogers. Rogers came into the match about a minute earlier, replacing Michael Bradley, son of the team’s former coach.
Rogers’s goal seemed to fire the U.S. side up, much more than they’d been up until that point. In fact, a flagrant foul just broke up a U.S. breakaway approaching the 87th minute. (Update: Match ends in a 1-1 draw).”
In the end, the new faces seemed to enliven the US side and provide a more attack-oriented approach. This was in stark contrast to the first half of the match where many saw Bradley and Jermaine Jones slow the pace with numerous, and to at least one person, infuriating ball backs. Like a first half of constant laterals, instead of pressing the action forward. Maybe the second stanza was a sign of things to come…. I hope.
