EvertonianFL Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 Oviedo tore up the US tonight. He assisted at least one goal and was just a terror on the left side. He constantly made runs up the flank and put crosses into the box. Although I'm an American and was rooting for the US, I couldn't help but be excited by Oviedo's play as a Toffee fan. Reminded me of Baines a little, anyone else see the Match? I watched that dreadful match for the U.S. Though Oviedo looked bright down the left flank, I feel that it was a bit of an illusion. For whatever reason, Jurgen Klinsmann had Michael Orozco, a center back playing right back. He is neither fast, nor agile, so it should be no surprise that Oviedo ran past him again and again. That being said, the lad still has to make that final pass...which he did pretty well. Overall, USA looked shite...especially Timmy Howard. Wouldn't be surprised to see Nick Rimando in goal next international break if Howard can't get it together at the club and international level.

EvertonianFL Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 yeah i'd like to see chandler as well at RB, heck even cherundolo who's 34 would be better once he's healthy. Even Michael Parkhurst (who plays for FC Augsburg), has been better at RB...though he is technically used as a center back for Augsburg.

I'm actually expecting Brad Guzan to take over pretty soon. Maybe not before this World Cup but definitely after that. And I've never rated Orozco.

He didnt seem to try for 2 of the goals, was very surprised! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
