I wonder if Nipple would be willing to move to the 6.  For all his shortcomings he has a hell of a motor and it would be great to have some depth behind Adams. He just doesn’t have a first touch or shot to play up front.


A #6 with a shitty first touch isn’t a great idea.

I love Musah so far but tough to fit him into our optimal XI unless we go with 3 at the back or put Tyler on the back line. I think right now it's:

Aaronson/Pulisic - Pepi - Aaronson/Pulisic

McKennie - Adams - Reyna 

Robinson - Robinson/Zimmerman - Brooks - Dest

Not necessarily in that formation.

A 3-4-3 with Musah added would be sexy. Don’t know that we have a back 3 strong enough though, especially with Dest.

We’re probably never going to have our “optimal team”. I think Adams-McKennie-Pulisic-Reyna have played a total of like 100 minutes at the same time together.
 

Glad we have guys like Musah that can perform when McKennie is at a covid party or Adams gets injured getting off the bus.

Yep. It sucks that he's sort of postionless. 

I think a 4-4-2 would be interesting with Pulisic as a false 9 up top with Pepi. But Aaronson has to take a back seat there.

What a carrier Musah is at 18.  Crazy.  Depleted Jamaica but still

You can't teach the presence he has on the ball. So fast yet keeps it so tight. Tons of little steps and touches but all of them efficient. Really pretty to watch.

1 game out of 41 games (after the next 2 games) all 4 have played together. 
 

 

It will come together. And if it doesn't, like you said, we have good insurance. 

Reyna still fascinates me. He has the chance to be one of the best AMs in the world in 4-5 years. I hope he delivers on it and stays healthy.

Chris Richards will eventually be in your starting XI.

I agree with your midfield but it will never happen as long as Berhalter is managing the team.

I also agree that Aaronson and Pulisic are interchangeable. They should have the freedom to roam to create and potentially poach.

Just talking about right now. We could stay up all night talking about what it might be come Qatar.

I mainly wasn't sure where Aaronson is best. Wherever he prefers he should play as Pulisic has close to zero drop-off on either side.

Mexico draws with Canada 1-1. U.S. tied with Mexico at the top with 8 points. If El Salvador holds off Panama, they’ll also have 8 points. 


El Salvador had 2 points coming into the tonight. They will be at 5.

Good fucking times. 

You were right above us. 

Ahh shit man. I was looking around for you, but the crowd was insane. 

Had a ton of expensive dos xx poured on me after each goal. Glad I didn't get pulled over.

Ricardo Pepi is tied for 2nd most goals scored in Austin FC’s Q2 Stadium. 
 

Dominguez (AFC) 5 goals

Pepi (FC Dallas/USMNT) 4 goals*

Fagundez (AFC) 4 goals

Ring (AFC) 4 goals
 

*only 2 games played in Q2 Stadium

Musah can advance the ball and penetrate the defense. I feel Musah in that spot justifies keeping Reyna on the wing. Reyna is gonna move centrally when he gets it anyways. 
 

I think if Hoppe gets a look at striker he will do great things linking up and his work rate. Sargents days might be numbered. The end product has just never been there.

Shit was loud for a Nats game. If someone wants to make a FUCKTON of money, start a shuttle service between all the breweries/Q2. I hope the next time we host its not during happy hour, fuckssakes. EL TRENNNNNN

Shout out to Austin and everyone there, fantastic atmosphere.   Sounded and looked amazing on TV, Austin has cemented its spot in USMNT hosting options. 

It was absolutely electric. I stopped screaming my head off long enough to listen to the chants.

The U clap  S clap A  clap chant with the steady upbeat crescendo is fucking bad ass. 

If you sit with the Outlaws expect to get covered in fluids.

Dolly, Dolly, Dolly USA!

Need to add, Q2 was a 10/10 until y’all did that stupid I Believe we will win chant.  Had to deduct .5 for that.  Sorry those are the rules, that chant SUCKS
