Wondering how much the Iran game took out of our guys.

He was our best attacking player..
Some of you guys are snowflakes, stop being so sensitive, why are we talking about mex?
I'm seeing a team that's letting the US control the game and tire themselves out but defending well in the box and playing to counterstrike. And it's working so far.
Just because you disagree doesn't make me a troll.

I would have agreed for the first 20-25 minutes, but he created the majority of our chancesgambochaman said:

No but it makes you a biased idiot

Yeah.. they really wanted pulisic 1v1 with the keeper 2 mins in. If we could finish our chances its 2-2. Go cry into your el tri flag.
Both goals, defenders just switched off. Can't do that. Adams then Dest. That's something we haven't been doing. I think nerves have played a big factor.
Sargent is out for the game guys. Reyna should come in at halftime tho.
It's frustrating because we have played really well this half. Yes NED was playing for the counter. That doesn't mean they should literally go 2/2 on counter opportunities. That is so ****ing disappointing.
Can't help but wonder what the game would look like if Pulisic slotted his chance away.

Hes also a bit of a defensive liability, but we need him out there.Socrates05 said:gambochaman said:

I take it back, was not Mckennie, it was Adams. We need an early goal in this second half to get back in it! Come on USA!randy828 said:I think you are right, he let that guy blow past him at mid field and didn't bust his butt to catch up to him.wangus12 said:
****ing Mckennie totally asleep there
The big thing they also did, is just man marking us tightly and its taken us way too long to adjust to it.
Which is strange, because we had to know it is a weakness we have and its strange we didnt have anything prepared for it
One way to play around it requires lots of energy and movement to drag them out of shape, and players moving off the ball into those spaces
Too much of the midfield looked gassed from the opening whistle, should have maybe considered some more changes to the lineup to start. Hard to change what was working in group stage, of course.

Gio in, move Weah to striker, bring in Aaronson for Midfield sub.

He has played well but he really seemed "distracted" after his scoring chance. Seems like he was replaying that in his head and not quite as alert. He missed Blind. Overall good half just a huge mistake. This is a young team without a clinical finisher which makes advancing tough but they are playing well.
Or finished either of the 2-3 quality chances outside of that..or not given up the 2nd on the last play of the halfKampfers said:

Its still there for the taking
I want Reyna in because hes going to be trying to prove himself and take some chances. Most of the team is waiting for a perfect shot and we just need to let it rip at an inexperienced goalie
To expand on my previous post, ppl are acting like NED are dominating because they have scored twice. How often do you see teams play on the counter in the CL or PL and end up losing 2 or 3 nil. All the damn time.
We have both been unlucky and lazy. But we don't deserve to be two goals down.
Regardless, that's the way football go. We need to come out from the half with some gd inspiration and hopefully get a quick goal to invigorate us and give us some belief.

He looked tired, and unfortunately at this level if you switch off for one play a top team can punish youplanoaggie123 said:Z3phyr said:What game you watching, bud?gambochaman said:

If Pulisic finishes the first chance, the game is totally different. I think he thought he was offsides, but he could have taken a touch and picked a corner. Oh well.
We lack a predatory goal scorer. We do a lot of good things up to about 20-25 yards out then can't create a dangerous opportunity. Frustrating.
Bring on GIOOOO
Or, you should consider not being overly sensitive and ready to jump on every single thing I say just because I'm a Mexico fan also.
Done with this.
Done with this.

Hard to change when the MMA midfield is clearly our best trio as well. But I agree. Sucks that 2/3 were not healthy/in form prior to the tournament.

No way
He made the mistake of not following Blind but dude has been great in the attack. I have no idea why we aren't running up and down the right wing with him and Weah.
Take off Jesus and put in Reyna. Add Aaronson for McKennie or Musah. Jesus hasn't been bad but we need someone more dynamic.
Errybody run their asses off and get us back in the game.
Maybe tired. You might be right. I just saw About 4 min before the goal he was clearly talking to himself and frustrated with his finish. Seemed distracted.

Dest is playing great
