    He wasn't happy your right back kept on bombing forward & neglecting his defensive duties, and then he changed his mind once he won the corner that lead to the winner.

    He was getting quite worked up towards the end. But he's always been quite excitable, even as a player.

    Savage is a tool. The Richard Littlejohn of football broadcasting.

    Well I mean, Zusi goes forward, he isnt a real defender he is an attacking player. It was a move to win the game, very positive from Klinsman.

    Zusi has set up the 6th most goals in the MLS since 2011.

    It wasn't Zusi it was Johnson he was complaining about, as far as I saw Zusi was RM and was only dropping into defence to cover Johnson?

    I thought Zusi came in as a sub for the injury which was to the right back. Unless they switched it should have been Zusi as a RB. I dont watch a ton of KC games but I think Zusi plays RB.

    Edit: Zusi is a midfielder, he must have switched with Johnson after the injury if johnson was at RB then.

    The lad we're linked with Jordan Ayew . Anyone impressed ? I wasn't - his brother seemed to have a much better game imo. Didn't realize they were Pele's offspring..

    He WAS good his first season with FC Dallas. Then it went to his young, silly head. I don't know if he's yet figured out that he's not the center of the universe, or God's gift to American soccer, but he'll have to develop some humility if he ever wants to live up to his potential.

    It was a weird game, some of the passing, defending and shooting was Conference North standard.

    What the hell were Ghana doing leaving some of their best players on the bench?

    I couldn't believe Essien and Boateng didn't start. Boateng made an immediate impact when he came on.

    Seen him play a number of times and I'm impressed, good player.

    Wasn't impressed with Andre last night either, he completely snatched at 3 chances which he usually would have buried and he had some calamitous touches. He's usually far, far better.
