This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Hasn't Roldan failed to produce a single goal involvement? by wcnitz
I think that was mentioned during the broadcast. Astounding. He and Trapp have no business in this side. And I fully agree on Yueill - he still needs to grow, but I'm fine with he or Adams back there long-term. Sands could be involved down the road, too - I assume he's still playing DM for NYCFC.
And Lovitz is just plain bad. Baaaaaaad. Dest didn't play because of the conditions, apparently, which is fine against Cuba. But he's going to have to play during the CONCACAF away matches, especially qualifiers, which will often be in conditions like this.
Good observations on the defensive shape - I didn't notice as much because I wasn't watching the second half as closely as the first. Long had a tent pitched in the center circle in the first half, defensive shape was hardly seen.
