Terrible performance from Berhalter to the last player on the pitch.

It's freaking El Salvador.

Was El Salvador even trying to win? Or were they playing for a 0-0 tie the entire game?
oh no

Way too many giveaways dribbling. Dudes trying to do too much on their own.

The goal is always 3 at home and 1 on the road. We all would've like to win this one but I'll take a point.

Still plenty to analyze and improve going forward, but we already knew that regardless of the fact that we won both tournaments this summer. We didn't do it playing beautifully.

It's freaking El Salvador, not Mexico.

This attitude is why USA Soccer will continue to suck.

A point on the road against Panama and Honduras last WCQ screwed us.

The guy that said this game is CONCACAF 101 is on point.

Walk away with a point on the road in a tough venue, I'll take that. Gotta pick up the points at home, though.

I mean they were pretty open I thought. Didn't overload themselves but they got forward.

It just continues to baffle me that we cannot figure out how to put these smaller countries to the sword. Can't really think of any significant chances we had other than Robinson missing that header early. It's not just scoring, the creating isn't there either.

Disasgree - could've put away both of these teams to make up ground.

IMO, I think we still dont really put players in their best positions with Greggggg's tactics.
I think he does ok enough and has already gotten better from when he was first hired, but he also needs to keep getting better as Qualifying progresses.

Not winning home games in the last round is what cost us. Win at home and tie on the road.

Agreed about T&T - can you expand about CONCACAF collusion? I've never actually heard this one before.

I only watched the last 20 mins of this game and just have to say I do see more energy in this team than the last world cup roster.

We should've won this game.

But this is far from the end of the world.

Losing at home was the primary reason we didnt make it.
We lost to Mexico at home and Costa Rica at home

Overreacting and throwing a fit on this thread is not the play.

If you want to discuss what you thought could have been better, or what went well, or really anything involving analyiss, feel free.

I'm not pleased with how Gregggg lined up the players he selected, or how a lot of the game went. We do need to do better. Some perspective is useful, its first time through all of this for the majority of our team. A lot of them are very young, and still developing as players.

There was a goal called that wasn't a goal. Every result that had us qualifying changed after we were trailing to T&T.

Google it. Timeline US not qualifying World Cup.

It wasn't even our trapping, it mainly was our second touches. Just terrible tonight.

Not worried about it. El Salvador is more hostile than Honduras.
