Okay, so our starters are great, and our backups are poverty level

Big difference playing your whole bench than subbing in one or two backups.

I'm not sure who cares less about this game. The US players or the refs.

I'm really concerned about our depth in the long run. I'm also concerned we could concede a few more tonight.


At age 52 so having seen a lot of shaky USMNT play in my day, I'm just glad we have an A team

9 of 11 is what they said before the match


But that includes Pepi who started for Pulisic last game, so it's 10 subs

Turkey-A

Why in 2026 did the announcers decide they have to start calling them that? So annoying.


I think there's a significant push for that to be what America calls it going forward (even outside of sport). Don't see it taking but we'll see.

This game means nothing right? We suck because the second string is playing, right?

I'm sorry but offsides inside the box is just a dumb rule. Need to do something like hockey, there is no clear advantage gained at that point.

On the first team squad, our defense is the biggest liability. We are really seeing that there is an even bigger drop off if those guys go down

Maybe Turkey should learn how to pronounce their own country's name.

He was arguably our 2nd best player in 2022, so sad to see why he's not a starter so clearly now

The only drop off is Robinson. He sucks. He looked horrible in the tune up games and looks horrible now. If he has to play due to injury we are in really big trouble

Well he also didn't control it. Plus he was obviously offsides.

Richards and Ream have been a really effective pairing so far.
