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.

Berhalter got it ALL right by wcnitz
For all the criticism he's taken, the last two matches he has absolutely nailed it.
The subs, going to 5ATB, putting on Zimmerman for headers, all of it. The players could have done more to get the second, but from a game management and tactical perspective, we had it right where we needed.
NOBODY had a poor game today. All of the starters were tremendous. The work rate and effort level were crazy good. Well done.
Lexi just said the subs were bad. He's wrong. Zimmerman was a perfect call. Haji just needed to make better decisions, but his pressing and defending were fine. Shaq wasn't great, but if Dest was done, he was done.
edit: one last point - I'd rather have Shaq on than Yedlin. I love Yedlin, but let's be honest: in a late and close, he's a red card and/or penalty waiting to happen.
