A loss is a loss. Didn't take away anything positive from this. The inability to finish chances is the dagger we can't extract from our backside.
Well it was mostly our B team but yeah, ok.....we were missing probably 7 or so of our best players.....and especially finishers. DD
That's not what this was. I still need to go back and watch the highlights as I was at the Outlaw Music festival last night seeing Willie Nelson, at 9-freaking-2 sill kill it. The outcome doesn't surprise me, though.
I'm sure thats true, but these are the current champions in concacaf Concacaf U17 Mexico Concacaf U20 Mexico Concacaf U23 Mexico Nations League Mexico Gold Cup Mexico Concacaf Champions League Cruz Azul (Mexico) At some point usmnt has to win something or else maybe fans should slow down a bit with their talking down of the region and realize maybe your players/teams arent as good as you think they are.
Great performance last night. Biggest winner was Pochettino. He's got everyone buying in and they're playing like their World Cup lives depended on it. His answer in the press conference was great - there are no "regulars", you have to earn your spot. No one is safe. Berhalter/Freeman helped themselves the most, especially the later being a possible answer at the open RCB spot. If I were to guess, the WC roster looks something like this: GK: Freese, Turner, Steffan DEF: Freeman, Dest, Arfsten, A. Robinson, Ream, Richards, McKenzie, M. Robinson, Trusty MID: Adams, Berhalter, Tessman, Roldan, McKennie, McGlynn FWD: Pulisic, Luna, Tillman, Balogun, Wright, Pepi, Weah, Reyna Taking a healthy McGlynn over Morris/Aaronson because his magic left foot is a more useful tool coming off the bench. Plus Morris/Roldan are a bit redundant as holding mids & the later is Poch's guy. Weah can probably cover for either wingback as well. I don't think I've seen a USMNT team this deep before and they seem to be peaking at the right time. There are going to be some tough decisions in March.
Well said. If he sticks to the 3 man back line, which I can't imagine why he'd change at this point, this team is solid as hell. I hope in March we see as close to a starting 11 as possible. I'd like to see Freese Richards - Ream - M Robinson Weah-----------------------A Robinson Adams---Tessman Tillman---Pulisic Balogun I'm not sure Reyna makes this unless he starts getting real minutes and has a long stretch of health...which he hasn't done in years. That was a good showing in this window but he's behind a lot of people.
