$SLNG it’s so sad that people can not understand understand the basics of emotions and reality!
The US played a horrible match: chaotic and nervous at best…but clearly overwhelmed by the situations.
Our goal keep “freeze” makes a mistake. or did he?
The way I coach: I would say nothing and wait to see if he needed reassurance? For me, he actually did what the team needed at that time.
He was in the moment. He stepped out quickly. He was calm (not chaotic)….he saw and anticipated the moment and calmly tried to control the ball. (Which over 50 minutes only Tillman had any calm class). He tried to make a decision….good for him and just future as a person and player!
I’d rather congratulate him for that moment of grace…and say you did the right thing! While all his teammates were running around with their heads cut off …he tried to take a calm approach and keep the ball…it’s easier to teach and / or : a player to learn from a decision Vs random headless chickens with fear for 50minutes
