Hoppe RIPPED that

Dike is getting the short end against the Jamaican on him so far. I think he needs to start just stepping front of him and forcing the ref to call fouls when the guy tries to play through him.
I'd like to see him drop it or square to teammate making a run, ala Michael Bradley.

Me too. Just get the ball in there and if you do it enough, good things will happen.

Neither corner has even ended up anywhere near the box. The obsession with short corner routines needs to die

Barcelona might be able to run a nice play. We need to bomb it in there. Hopefully, that is out of our playbook.

Short corner should only be done if you have identified a weakness, and even then thats generally just going to work one time.

Because he is out of position. He is goalside. I want him to put the defender goalside.

I dont think he is intending to play goalside, im saying the Jamaican dude is just overplaying and he should just put himself in front and get run over a few times. Make the ref call it

Yeah we've had several moments this game where we're precariously close to make a WPIOOTBGW.

Lletget not being able to play that ball to Hoppe better kills that counter

If they think this surface will be acceptable for the World Cup, they are wrong.

There is stuff you can do to have legit grass in a building like this, though

Whats confusing to me, is Dike has shown he knows how to use his size to win balls off of crosses.
Playing as a target up top is a different skillset, and he has a lot of development to do there. Right now, if a ball is played up to him, its more likely to be turned over and going right back at us.

I refuse to believe no player on this team can hit in a better corner/cross than Lletget has done so far.

Defense has been okay, Hoppe and Moore have been good, Busio better but still turning the ball over too much, Dike invisible (service not good to home either).

It's unfortunate that it's a recurring issue when playing in Texas. NRG has the same issue.

Acosta and Moore might be the only ones who haven't been knocked off the ball.

after watching premier league and euro 2020, this game is like watching high school or college soccer...,the difference in play is astounding....however, jamaica looks dangerous on the counter attack but their finishing in the final 3rd is atrocious...

Hoppe's only real issue has been some pretty poor decision making leading to turnovers in bad spots on our side of the field.

He's also been one of the bright spots going forward.

Yeah, his upside outweighs the turnovers at this point for me. The rest of this team has no nose for goal.

Is Dike's invisibility his fault or not getting much from those behind him?

Pretty much sums him up. He's probably our best player on the ball and he presses well. But he gambles in the defensive third thinking he's playing with euro level teammates. Luckily It didn't burn us.
