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.

I'm impressed by Lennon and de la Torre. by baloo88
I was not terribly surprised to see that Lennon and de la Torre assisted on the two Sargent goals and that de la Torre scored the third. That cross from Lennon was a beauty, and Sargent nearly bungled an almost perfect pass from de la Torre on his first goal. As I opined after the CONCACAF Championship earlier this year, I think those two are likely to feature for the senior squad at some point in the next couple of years.
Apparently, the defense looked terrible today, with both Glad and Carter-Vickers out with minor injuries. I'm not sure what their status is for the match against Senegal, but if they're healthy, they could make USA a dark horse to win this tournament. Combined with Palmer-Brown, they'd make a pretty formidable defense. Without them, it seems the defense will be this team's undoing.
