Not even sure what to say really. Expected the CT from Peru, hoped we could take care of it with a normal. With Argentina in the SF, there was absolutely no hope if we CT'd today. Peru will take a serious beating in the SF, but I guess at least they can say they got there.

As for the GE, stunned really. Peru has never run anything other 2-3 or M2M this season, so the 3-2 was unexpected. Nonetheless, our PG and SG had 100/106 match rating, but ended up shooting 9 for 54. NINE FOR FIFTY-FOUR. It's possibly the biggest WTF from the GE I've seen since back in the early BB days.

This sucks, really hoped we could have added Marcum/Faust for this game after the NT crashed out this afternoon, but couldn't get JP to drop them in time I guess. Really would have liked to see our team battle Argentina with our best 21s (serrano, harrell, mueller, faust, marcum..a whole team right there). Sucks.

Yeah, but since Peru played CT, their rating don't tell the whole story.

I was boarding a subway train into Boston when I got your text, I was pressed for time to get to the C's game, that's my fault.

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

I prefer to leave that for the, er, this is a PG-rated forum, right?

Never mind.

F that game, 9 for 54, f that.

First the U21 v Brasil, NT world cup v Brasil, and then this POS game against Peru.

Would have helped if we'd have done better in the "rock, paper, scissors" war of tactics, or planned ahead for dropping players if the NT team lost, or not pushed the GE with extreme tactics and then further overlooked how LCD might affect that (something you'd think two of the more experienced managers in BB wouldn't overlook)
