We need to push for a third goal and be up by three at half here

Man, Hoppe makes a nice roaming playmaker. Very fun to watch.

I do not like Busio so far; loses the ball easily and gets cute on trying to thread a needle on his passes

The boys are playing like there is blood in the water, very encouraging...

Bello plays way to frantically, it's hard to tell what his actual skill level is. Lot of these guys are still very young and inexperienced as well.

After a month of watching the Euro, we look like ass by comparison. Still there is something very hopeful about fielding a team this young in a competition.

CONCACAF referees continue to look like fools

Negative 1 minute stoppage???? You're on live TV with a clock running; you can't speed up time

That was abrupt.

Only CONCACAF could pull it off so seamlessly.

He's not a starter in the A team but he's the best at the position we have on this team and it appears his ceiling is higher than all but one at the position. He's trying to do too much but I like it.
If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.

Many guys might be trying to play too fast. I'd rather have that than playing slow (looking at you Mr Yuell)

I guess if we had qualified, most of these guys would have been on the Olympic team?

You mean the C team that doesn't include our European based 1st team? Gee that's going out on a limb.

The ref can just call the half before 45 minutes? Wtf was that?

Who knows if Kreis was in charge.

I haven't watched all of the first half but this doesn't seem like a very concacaf-y game.

An even 3 out of 10 of the Concacaf scale...

Edit: the early end to the half is worth at least an additional 1.5 to the Concacaf'ing total...

Two more goals from the boys maybe? It seems like everyone is wanting to get a goal. Blood in the water...

I'm afraid this game may start to get ugly.

It would be nice to get our gold differential even with Canada's after this game to put a little bit more pressure on them to not play for a draw

Tremendous individual effort!

I really want to see Dike get some game time against quality opposition to see if he can just run through people like this at that level too

Also I feel like I was getting really strong Dempsey vibes from Hoppe.
Just kind of drifting all over popping in and out showing skill on the ball and creativity.

I don't see how he's not at least the higest potential #9 in the pool at this point.
