Subject: [NT] U21 USA vs Schweiz

upsetting tie with the score of 2-2; unlucky own goal, missing key chances like a pk, and so on. we ran them up and down the field all game, match engine changes probably effected how accurate all our crossing chances should have been.

I feel very confident with the U21 squad we are carrying, we should be fine.

Looked good for the most part. Very unlucky with the own goal as the defense was playing really well.

Looks like passing skill might have to be a couple levels higher now with the changes.

ill be able to tweak the tactic a bit to improve on that.

great match from you, i'm completely satisfied with this result, especially in the first half we didn't have any chances.
unbelieveble how you were playing! almost every pass was accurate, the players didn't have had problems to take the ball ... just awesome to watch ...
luckily for us bettoni (our gk) was very good ;-)

did you have some problems with your players stamina? in the second half we played better, i guess it's because of stamina, i can't find another reason.
we had some pretty good chances then, especially descloux, when he missed the empty net.

nevertheless, the tie is very good for us and keeps our chance alive, to go through this group, even though i think france and you are better ;-)

good luck in your next games ;-)

Rakes got in the game! WHEEEE!

PS His form is awful, and he needs tech/PM. He'll be getting the 2nd ASAP, and the first should take care of itself.

"and the first should take care of itself. "

Yeah, right. If by "take care of itself" you mean "may possibly improve due to the law of averages and possibly some luck.
