They've kept 11 behind the ball when not in possession. Parking the bus works at all levels

Good substitution. Morris in for Boyd. Boyd stunk tonight.

Anyone know where I can stream the game? Fox sports keeps pushing me to the Fox Sports App (as does the Fox Sports Go app) but the game is not listed.

Grab a slingTV trial to get FS1? Should be some trial options to get it. Make sure you cancel before you're billed.

It should be on there. Fox is now pushing most their stuff to fox sports app now. It is there for me but I always start on fox sports go and it takes me straigh to it on the fox sports app

this entire attack has been toothless in the 2nd half, and a lot of it is we might as well not have a striker on the field, combined with the midfield just having no connection with each other, no concept of where to be as outlets to move the ball forward consistently

just giving their midfield free reign

I'm seeing more problems with game plan, rather than personnel. Holden has it right, especially in 2nd half.

Team is slow with everything. First look is always sideways, second look is backwards. Nobody is attacking at all. No probing runs from Pulisic.

To be fair, the only time Zardes has gotten the ball is when he drops into the midfield and he then plays it wide. He has made several off the ball runs with no service

I think its on the players not all executing. If someone cant run, sub them out

I've got no issues with him so far. He's not flashy but he has a system of play that I think is sound and can fit our talent in the pool (it'll look better in the coming 12-18 months than it does right now). Basically, he hasn't done anything to make me want to push the eject button on him yet.

Pulisic saves AARP Bradley from a costly turnover.

I find it very hard to believe we aren't making a 2nd sub here

to clarify, some players are still playing a press while the next 1-2 players up just jog so the press is broken easily. Bradley and McKennie aren't getting it done centrally

We need a spark; look really lethargic; can't believe we are not hammering the counterattacks with the Curacao full court press

Bradley has been unimpressive for 10 years except for the occasional good assist or long goal

yet again, this play by play guy needs to just shut up and call the game

We clearly need a sub, dont get what Berhalter is thinking

Yo, our coach knows those are subs and not Time-Outs left, right?

great one touch in from Arriola, would have been a tough finish for Zardes but you need better than that

Great attacking run. Wish Zardes could have finished that better, but it was tough chance.

Zardes has to at least get that on frame

Didn't expect a finish, but Zardes just isn't equipped to play the position in the World Cup.

It would have been better had he inadvertently stuck his body in the way.

Well there was the service, but that finish at full speed on a half volley is hard as hell.

We've probably played 15-20 minutes of total soccer, and then just mediocre to bad since then. Very disjointed, which I assume is players not completely understanding what they are supposed to tactically

We're about due for another Zardes wonder goal off his face or butt cheek or something.

Don't worry, Zardes will definitely not be the World Cup starter
