    Copa is some straight BS, one Jones or Wood should have won their appeal...

    Just totally outplayed or there is some sort of trickery or debacle in the locker room or something was said to not show up on defense and lose every pass and attack. Join that with Chile's relentless run for the ball and their ability to win every loose ball, and you have a 7-0 skunk. :(

    USA has now matched their best finish in Copa America, and are guaranteed two more games. In this tournament, they are better than Mexico, definitely.

    I will say. You handled that loss pretty well.

    You must have came to realization early on in the second half.

    Btw, just checked TM and they have tickets available on 601, 616 for $100. Probably the worst seats in the house but if you just want to go you can.

    If you want to park in the stadium you will most likely.. I normally park by the training facilities. Bring cash!

    If we play Beckerman he is going to get torched, we need to drop Bradley to his natural CDM position and play Nagbe as the CAM.

    Formation would likely consist of Bradley and Dempsey both playing the holding role and Bradley having a bit more freedom to roam similar to what Jermaine had been doing so far this tournament. And that would still leave room for Nagbe to come in as CAM.

    If Beckerman gets on the pitch tonight, I'm going to have a conniption. His style of play is completely the opposite of what is needed tonight. For the love of God, get Nagbe in the game, Jurgen!

    I think it will/should be

    Dempsey

    Nagbe

    Pulisic -- Beckman -- Bradley -- Zardes

    Johnson -- Brooks -- Cameron -- Yedlin​

    Dempsey

    Nagbe

    Zardes -- Beckerman -- Bradley -- Zusi

    Johnson -- Brooks -- Cameron -- Yedlin​

    I'd go
    Zardes

    Johnson -- Dempsey -- Zusi

    Beckermann -- Bradley

    Besler -- Brooks -- Cameron -- Yedlin​

    Have Nagbe and Pulisic ready to come in for change of pace. Maybe sub in Wondo for Zusi if you need a goal late and drop Zardes to the wing. Argentina struggled some with 2 forwards, so the 4-4-2 might be back en vogue. I do like Dempsey tucked underneath a lone striker better than alone up top.

    Go go USA!!
