  1. I have to say, playing against #USA in basketball is the ultimate challenge.

    You have to make a perfect game. Give everything, all the time, on all places.

    If you give a 0.1%, their superstars will make that into a 200%.

  4. Saw a woman in the crowd among #USMNT fans and I was like "but that's clearly a Slav—I wonder why she's in with them?"

    Slonina's mom. #MastodonFC #USASRB

  5. Unfortunately, Neal’s one big mistake is going to be the thing most remembered from him this game.

    But: 19 years old, looked confident and strong out there. Hopefully he gets some more time Saturday. And I’d love to see him on the field for the Galaxy this year. #USASRB #USMNT #MastodonFC

  6. Not a great game from #USMNT but very much a game where winning wasn't really the point. Getting a look at a lot of young players was much more of a focus and definitely some stuff to be happy about.

    I also thought the same thing was true for Serbia, and they looked really encouraging overall. Lots of positive play from young kids on both teams. #USASRB #MastodonFC

  7. Language musing:

    Serbian љ/lj is tough for anglophone tongues. It's an L sound and a Y sound together. We see it in soccer with names like Joveljić, Ljajić.

    It seems like a lot of commentators choose to just discard the j (y sound): YO-vell-ich, LA-yich.

    But as an English speaker who's learning Serbian, I feel like *if* a letter must be dropped, dropping the L and just treating it like a Y sounds *closer* to the real thing: YO-vey-ich, YA-yich.

  8. Probably shouldn’t have posted this. Sorry, Jalen Neal. #USASRB #MastodonFC #USMNT

  9. What if LA had a young, homegrown, Zimmerman-level CB? If Neal can be that… that’d be the best imaginable thing for the Galaxy. #USASRB #MastodonFC #USMNT #MLS #LAGalaxy

  10. @CoachTim wait you and the announcer both said "with a man behind the wall you don't need to jump" but doesn't a man behind the wall explicitly cover the gap below you *when you do* jump? If you don't jump, isn't he basically covering already covered area? #USMNT #USASRB #MastodonFC

  11. What a goal from Ilić!!! Wow!!

    Hahahah it looks like Zimmerman made room for it. I just don't know about that guy. #USMNT #USASRB #MastodonFC

  12. Didn't look like contact to the head at all to me? At least not by a foot—maybe by the ball? Hope Gaga's ok. Looks like it. #USMNT #USASRB #MastodonFC

  13. And wow I was convinced that was a goal for Serbia but Slonina was really far out so when he reached way back (what a stop!) it still wasn't over that line. What a play. #USASRB #MastodonFC #USMNT

  14. Incredible save from Slonina, but I’ve gotta admit I kinda wanted Joveljić to score there. #USASRB #MastodonFC #USMNT

  15. And that's what I want: #USMNT with a goal that Djordje was never gonna save. Still made a good effort but good cross, good header, poor defensive marking and that was a sure goal. Wish Serbia did a bit better there defending. Split loyalties are hard! #USASRB #MastodonFC

  16. Jeez that’s a gorgeous header! Vazquez puts the #USMNT up, 1-0. #USASRB #MastodonFC
