EEUU 0-0 Colombia/ USA 0-0 Colombia

EEUU y Colombia midieron fuerzas en el Estadio PPL en Filadelfia, Pensilvania. Los EEUU buscaron mostrar que todavía sigue con fuerza para la Copa Mundial 2014 y que merecen ser anfitrión de la Copa Mundial 2018 o 2022.

Colombia enfrento a los EEUU con la intención de mostrar su poderío en el futbol. Aunque no hubo goles, ambos salieron ganando en este partido amistoso.

En la opinión de este humilde escritor, Colombia mostro su dominio del partido con su disciplina y tenacidad. Ellos mostraron como repartir la pelota y fueron consistentes en su manera de jugar futbol.

Los EEUU siguieron con el mismo patrón de su técnico Bradley y los resultados fueron un desastre. Es una pena que un equipo como los EEUU sigue con los errores de técnica.

La culpa lo tiene Bradley y los individuos que decidieron renovar su cargo como técnico como el Presidente de la Federación Estadounidense de Futbol Sunil Gulati.

Los EEUU tendrán que hacer cambios en su manera de jugar el futbol y en los técnicos. Quizás el Sr. Gulati puede renunciar o hacer un anuncio de que no postulara para otro periodo.

Es la única forma que podemos tener un equipo que progresa. Mientras tanto, los EEUU tendrán que seguir cometiendo los mismos errores. El humilde escritor quiere concluir con una nota positiva.

El estadio PPL de Filadelfia, Pensilvania estaba lleno de hinchas del equipo estadounidense de futbol con las banderas del país y su equipo. Muchos mostraron con orgullo las banderas junto con banderas de sus equipos preferidos de la MLS.

Las emociones de los hinchas son verdaderas y la FIFA debe tomar esto en cuenta cuando votan para el anfitrión de la Copa Mundial 2018 o 2022. Espero que no escuchen la voz negativa y anti estadounidense del Presidente de la Confederación Asiática de Futbol Mohammed Bin Hammam.

 

The USA and Colombia measured their forces in their friendly game which took place in the PPL Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The USA wanted to prove to the world that it is ready for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

It also wanted to prove that they deserve to be host of the 2018 or 2022 FIFA World Cup. Even though there were no goals, both teams were able to score an indirect victory.

Colombia demonstrated its mastery of the game and situation with their discipline and consistency as well as tenacity. They were able to evenly distribute the ball and the players in the field.

Regardless, Colombia should have struck gold but ended missing the goal attempts with multiple rebounds.

The USA should have learned its lessons from the 2010 FIFA World Cup and the last friendly game against Poland. While the team was able to play a decent game, they stuck to the same game plans of Bob Bradley.

While I consider the US Soccer Team to be one of the best in the world, it still has some problems that need to be dealt. The first problem is the team of Bradley as coach and Gulati as President.

Bob Bradley recently had his contract as coach of US Soccer renewed at a time when the team needs a new coach to take the team to new levels. What worked before the 2010 FIFA World Cup will not work after the event.

The US Soccer Team has to step to the plate and continue its progress. For that to occur, a new coach is in order as well as a new president. Bob Bradley should initiate a transition towards a new coach with new ideas and then step down.

Sunil Gulati may want to do the same thing as President of the US Soccer Federation. Both men should take this step if they love US Soccer.

If there is anything that came out of this game, the PPL Stadium in Philly was full of US Soccer supporters with the flags of the country, the US Soccer Team, and their favorite MLS Team.

It is hoped that someone from FIFA was able to watch the game and see the audience. It is also hoped that when they vote, they look at the audience instead of paying attention to the rants of the Asian Football Confederation President Mohammed Bin Hammam against the US Soccer Team.
