USMNT 2022

4 of Saudi's best players are also supposedly out.  If we win by less than 2 goals, Gregggg should be stoned to death after the game per Saudi tradition.

[ztejas 43467]

Since we're already playing Acosta and Yedlin I think we should sit Pulisic for Sam Vines.

[alincoln 2381]

Long is starting against Wales.  Buckle up.  

[Braff Zacklin 13617]

Matt Turner is a helluva shot-stopper ... but he ain't much of a singer.

This alone shows why Gregg ain't it. He was awful last go around, what more does he have to show that he doesn't belong?

[alincoln 2381]

Lulz.  Another save by Turner within 30 seconds

[alincoln 2381]

Awful clearance by Long within 90 seconds

[alincoln 2381]

Pepi so naive to get offside trapped

[Braff Zacklin 13617]

If the Saudis continue to play so high and narrow, the wings will be wide open all day and the US should score 3 or 4 goals.

[ztejas 43467]

Nice shot Acosta.

[alincoln 2381]

Aaron Long with a completely uncontested pass directly to Saudi.  Dude is awful

We could just take him off the field and be down a man and I think we would be better than with him in there.

[Captain Ron 12883]

When our back line has the ball our mids still don't move to help out.

It's shocking.  Reminds me of youth CBs playing 11 v 11 for the first time who don't understand yet where the opposition players are positioned compared to 9 v 9.

[Juicy 727]

Every time Gio touches the ball, i am just waiting for him to get hurt. 

[Captain Ron 12883]

 

[Ted Lange 16110]

 

[ztejas 43467]

Acosta is such a fucking dumbass. Why are we playing this guy. 

[Braff Zacklin 13617]

Long came up limping from that attempted header. Maybe he needs to be subbed.

 

Stupid foul from Kellyn.

[Captain Ron 12883]

Gio out? And Nipple on?!?!

[Juicy 727]

A 30 minute Gio sub, Gregg even knows Gio is made of glass. 

[Braff Zacklin 13617]

Arriola? Talk about wasted minutes.

[Captain Ron 12883]

How did the Saudis not score there?

 

We should already be down 1-0.

Pepi might not be hitting goals right now but he does a ton of stuff correctly off the ball, which means the goals will come on a fully fit squad. I think if we don't get Pefok vs Wales, which we won't, i hope its Pepi. Waaay more of a threat than the others. 

1 Pepi

2 Sargent

3 three kids in a trench coat

4 Ferreira  

[Juicy 727]

any team in our group would finish that attack there 0-1

I don't get how he keeps getting caught offside by the Saudi Defense. Every time I see when a pass is about to head his way he's like a foot + off. He keeps getting caught off.

[Captain Ron 12883]

BTW - if you think you're watching the FS1 feed through a potato, well ...

the MF is late on their crosses and their through balls. this MF is looking pathetic.

switched to unimas it was basically going from SD to HD.  FOX is such trash 

[Ted Lange 16110]

Jesse March has 7 weeks off coming up, maybe let him coach the team for the WC.  GGG Is fucking brutal

Anyone remember the 1998 World Cup?  

 

[Braff Zacklin 13617]

For me, this is more embarrassing than the Japan match.

Sure, the US was absolutely dominated last Friday, but that was against a solid, well-organized side on a mission.

This Saudi team--at least as currently deployed--is shit. That back line is soft and ripe for the picking. Acres of space, yet our midfield is playing with their heads down, taking one or two extra (and unnecessary touches) and missing the runs that our forwards are making, resulting in late passes and offsides.

Too slow, too hesitant, too inaccurate ... and I know this is turning into a rant but it's infuriating. Difficult to be positive about anything right now.

[alincoln 2381]

Saudi missing their two top goal scorers, their captain midfield general and their starting GK.  Gerggg has almost singlehandedly destroyed the USMNT

Unfortunately.

Did John Harkes fuck Pulisic's sister?

This looks more like him being a hot head than him being injured to me.

where the fuck is the feed? anyone else's stream frozen?

Lol what? There was nothing for him to destroy. He got us back to being competent and appears ill-equipped to do anything past that. 

[alincoln 2381]

Competent?  Half the players on field in our final tune up for the WC play in MLS.

[Braff Zacklin 13617]

How is that only a yellow? Purely late and malicious challenge.

[Captain Ron 12883]

Long walks off hopefully to never see the field again.

 

And Pepi ... I'm sorry, I didn't see enough. 

[Braff Zacklin 13617]

Neither did he.

Yeah, he didn't have many opportunities, but he was nothing special. 

This game makes me want to puke. The final tune up and we are fielding this squad.....

Yeah, mine froze too and then my wife called. Womp womp. It's back up and going now though, it appears.

[Ted Lange 16110]
