It's painfully obvious some of y'all have never travelled to the Middle East. Everything is centrally controlled there, governed by religious monarchies.

As much as you wish your western values matter, they do not in some places of the world. You won't change that.

Anyway back to the game

Don't do anything stupid in first ten minutes of second half.

No second yellow or straight red. We want to have 11 guys on the field.

Play safe to start the half. If you have an attack, go for it. But we can't leave ourselves vulnerable to quick counter.

Just do that for first ten minutes and I like our chances.

Let's not cloud the game thread up with the politics of anti-bigotry vs homosexual promotion. I can't stand the gayness themes around world soccer.

USA is beating Wales at half time!

Do we consider subbing any of our yellow carriers? Don't care about England, but probably need our best 11 on match day 3 vs Iran.

Need to sub for Dest. Can't have him getting lost and giving up a goal. But give him 10-15 to help with getting a second goal.

Think Aaronson for Weah and Reyna for Pulisic 80'

Yes to both of them...Aaron for Weston and some defender for Dest if we score a 2nd

Not immediately. Get a second goal and start benching guys with yellow cards.

they subbed their giant in, could see them playing long balls up to him. Gotta keep focusing on winning the 2nd balls

I am 100% ok with them subbing off Dan James there. Less speed and more direct ball through Moore

SOMEONE OTHER THAN PULISIC HAS TO TAKE SET PIECESS, WHAT ARE WE DOING DOING

If we memory is correct, he is 0 for 4. Three were terrible and one was okay. Not good enough.

It's a bit weird. I wouldn't mind his corner service if we had a single person running near post. I don't know if it's on Pulisic or the other players just not making the run near post

hes just never been good at it, in any game he plays for us. Hes hit maybe a handful of good corners or set pieces out of probably hundreds
there should be no shame in someone else taking them

So close to a second yellow there with almost an intentional handball

Bit of a soft yellow there too. But I suppose I'll allow it because he broke up the counter.

We're not getting numbers forward like we were the first half.

Robinson needs to get that ball off his feet and into a more dangerous players, when he is that far out

It is a balance with them pushing forward.

All of them have been pretty weak calls IMO

Pulisic isn't a big target on balls in the air. But isn't he a guy you'd want receiving set pieces or nearby for rebounds?

Having him screw up 90% of set pieces is dumb. It's also stupid to have your rock star about 40 yards from goal.

Coming up on 60. Who're the subs?

Wales is much better in possession when they have a striker instead of an old winger playing striker.

Plus, he has a knack for getting into dangerous spots and reacting quickly, id 100% rather have him be in the box somewhere.
He just isnt that guy, yet, who hits pinpoint crosses. Greggg has to have that hard talk with him, because we cant just squander those opportunities

True.

But we we have a run, we need options.
