Most tv providers have dvr control from their app if that helps?

Big game for Morris to show something at the international level. Has underwhelmed there, imo.

Slightly surprised that Horvath and Miazga aren't in the starting 11

I think he's an underrated player. I thought he did well defending Salah last weekend a couple times.

His game definitely fits with Berhalter's play from the back scheme

Lots of discussion today on XM FC on who would get the armband. Not one millisecond was spend on Ream.

I kinda like what we are doing with Adams at RB. It's early and you can tell he gets a little too forward at times but I like the idea.

Trapp is playing some great balls forward and Arriola is doing a good job.

Morris did not have a good half.

I think Morris lacks the toolkit to play as a winger. Not a 1v1 guy, doesnt play defense well, and not a great crosser of the ball.

Can't score unless you take shots and that is why

That keeper better sleep with one eye open. He was getting some looks.

We are fortunate that Ecuador is not very good because have been several really sloppy passes in the back. Good teams will eat those up.

I don't know why they sat back like that. That is not normally how they play.

For perspective, he managed Panama for the last 4 years so he has seen some of the worst US soccer in awhile. Still trying to grow out of that.

That was such an unnecessary and reckless challenge he put in too.

First half was very good overall, should have put in 1 or 2 goals.

The issue for me with Trapp is, he can play very well against the lesser skilled teams, i just dont think he has enough against high end teams.

Whoever said the comment about Morris is right. He is not suited for that position, and if we had Pulisic, or more of a true winger in those spots we probably generate even more chances.

So far between the friendlies and this game, I'm liking what Berrhalter is looking to do. We will see how it progresses
