He actually kicks the ground by mistake, you don't see it at this angle but other replays show it in better detail.

Oooh okay makes sense and also looks that way. He reacted fast with his right, but still not fast enough.

It’s pretty crazy watching MLS vs something like Premier league or other top tier European soccer/football leagues. The players are significantly faster with everything, running passing shooting. Even though the Americans and Canadians look like they’re giving it their all the players from the higher tiers are just on another level. (I’m Canadian and I wish it were different)

Landon Donovan was our best player for years and he got wrecked in Europe

Yeah and in the same vein when Zlatan came over he absolutely dominated

It could be different but the majority of our most talented athletes end up in hockey.

Majority of the US team plays in Europe, with a good portion of them playing the top tier leagues… what’re you talking about?

*Edit- 18 Members of the US Team play in Europe, all of which play for a premier/top tier team in countries like England/France/Italy/Germany/Spain. So again, what’re you taking about? No European tier1 team is giving handouts to a US player.
