Does anyone know where to find those heat maps of where players spent most of their time during the game? I've seen them in articles but no idea where to find them?

And normally more teams means that average is still average. Except for US apparently.
Why should it not be an expectation that we make the second round? Half the teams make it. So we are happy not being in the top half of the teams? geez.

As for what Herrera did... competent coaching (rather than, like, Hugo Sanchez) goes a long way. It's not like they don't have good players (Dos Santos, Guardado and Ochoa in particular, but decent talent around them as well), and the potential was always there for them to get their **** together if/when they qualified.
****ing Zusi.
There's something like this in the FourFourTwo Stats Zone app.

Re: The FIFA World Cup Thread (Spoilers Welcome)
All I'm saying is we could easily finish with the same record we had in '94 and finish 3rd in our group and have no chance of advancing. It's simple math. Yes, there are fewer teams so ideally the group should be easier but I don't know anyone going into this world cup that thought this group is easier than what the US had in '94 as the hosts. The hosts are suppose to have a relatively easy group as a guaranteed seed. To say that because we advanced to the knockout round in 1994 we should do it all the time is silly.
Why are you such a negative nancy about all of this. I will not be happy if we don't get out of the group, but I'm also realistic in that we're not there yet. If we ever want to get to the point of expecting to get out of group, we have to do it in back to back world cups...we've never done that...hell this is first time we've won a game in back to back world cups.
What a dick comment to take what I said and turn it that way.

Mexico/Brazil has been quite the game... Mexico bending a crap ton, but not breaking yet....
I got to spend yesterday watching the USA/Ghana match at the watch party put on by US Soccer in Grant Park, Chicago... The turnout was great, but the dedication of the fans was truly awesome... It really felt like I was in a dedicated NCAA Hockey student section... Everyone cared about the game... Everyone went through the range of emotions yesterday... It was awesome...

Re: The FIFA World Cup Thread (Spoilers Welcome)
By that logic, doesn't it also follow that, since we finished 3rd in 1930, we shouldn't be happy unless we make the semi-finals every year???

Thanks, that fourfourtwo app is pretty sweet too but not quite what I was looking for.

Despite finishing 0-0, I think that was the best game so far.

Whoa. If you go to the FIFA results page, go to statistics for each match, you can select any players from a drop down menu and it shows the heat map and a bunch of other stats.
Here is the USA-GHA match
http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/matches/round=255931/match=300186512/statistics.html
Dempsey's top speed yesterday was 28.8 kmh (17.9 mph)

Re: The FIFA World Cup Thread (Spoilers Welcome)
Sweet now if we could just combine that with the fourfourtwo app and see the failed/successful passes by player. I want to see if my perception of Bradley is correct that he may have completed 82% of his passes but he was way more like 50/50 or worse on the offensive half of the field.

Here is hoping the Ticos can find more points in Group D and get out and Honduras can get a result against someone to have all of them be respectable.
