Not sure what is up with the Leeds boys.  Adams has been shocking and Aaronson hasn't touched the ball.

Need to bring on Scally for Vines and Sargent for Jesus and a warm body for Long at HT

Leeds' system is very different from Greg's shit system.

[Braff Zacklin 13676]

Weston's worst showing in maybe ... ever?

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 947]

Alright Zimm.  Finding outlets through the press/between the lines.

[Bottlecap 1523]

GERG insisting on pressing forwards but does no pressing in the second to last warm up game. dumbass.

[Juicy 730]

unlimited subs in friendlies now?

Turner is a beast

[Bottlecap 1523]

hey but at least turner is getting some meaningful reps!

the fuck is up with this pitch? looks like a hurricane blew through

[Bottlecap 1523]

is tillman playing out of position at the 8? thought he played more forward at rangers.

WC gambling Tip #1

Invest heavily in all CONCACAF and Morocco opponents

[Trey3216 15453]

0 SOG though 74.   Noice

Is there a bug zapper in the crowd?  The fuck is that noise?

Big ass slug on the US sideline.   It’s taking a while to get him 

[Juicy 730]

aaronson down for the umpteenth time today hahahaha 

[Trey3216 15453]

I mean, I don’t think I could take any man whose chin sits well behind his upper lip seriously.   

[Juicy 730]

that really puts the cherry on it.

Deserved. What a consummate ass-kicking.

Yep, they had about a 20 minute stretch at the start of the second where they showed some life, but this team is a mess right now. 

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 947]

We’re done here

Just get on the plane without Aaronsen picking up a knock.

That about sums it up.  Can we fire Greggg now?

Not sure how I see him getting us through the group stage.

We are in big trouble.  Greggg has completely fucked up the process to identify Miles Robinson's replacement by forcing his favorite into the process.  I still think that Long is going to walk out there against Wales. 

That said, Wales and Iran aren't great.

[gsoda3 3362]

that was a pretty good showing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

by japan.

 

 

 

we're lucky aaronsen didn't get hurt.

No, man, hell no. That was the worst excuse of a performance I think I've ever seen out of a US team, and I've seen a lot of shitty US soccer.

Where the fuck is Pulisic?

Christian Pulisic missed the United States' next-to-last warm-up match before the World Cup against Japan on Friday in Germany because of an unspecified injury.

The U.S. Soccer Federation said Pulisic was out "because of a knock he took in training earlier this week." The USSF said it was too soon to determine whether he will be available for Tuesday's friendly against Saudi Arabia in Murcia, Spain.

[goatsaag 281]

Really disappointing how bad the midfield was this game. Crazy how much missing Musah stands out.

He was doing a book signing.

Only if you want to be mad. 
 

Honestly it makes our circle jerk about Ream actually sound reasonable.

fuk it.. do it bro

 

 

I should have slept in..

got up at 515am - coffee pod in the kurig... pumped to watch the boys.

by 545 i realized i made a dumb mistake. 

pulled out my phone and tiktok watched dancing titties for 20 mins until halftime...

by that time it was 610... i was like... i can prolly nap for another hour before i start work..

coffee still doing its thing... couldn't sleep... 

tuned back to the game to watch us lose the ball over and over again until we finally got a shot near( not even on) goal in like the 85th or whatever

They are about on par with Japan..... which looks like trouble. 

[alincoln 2391]

Trying to build out of the back through the middle against an aggressive press with Turner as GK, Zimmerman/Long as the CBs and Adams as a lone 6 is a recipe for disaster.

Turner's biggest weakness is distribution and Adams is at his best when he has another MF supporting him in progressing the ball (see Roca at Leeds).  Long is just abysmal in playing the ball and Zimmerman is average at best.  Just laughable "strategy" from Gerggg.  Given how wedded he is to his brilliant "system," the only solution is to start a legitimate ball-playing CB next to Zimmerman (Ream and Brooks).

I'll be pretty surprised if we make it out the group. On top of the lack of confidence in our team's play in recent years, we're also due for a dud WC showing.

[Captain Ron 13133]

Meanwhile Iran just played a scoreless half against Uruguay.

Japan isn't bad at all, and I know FIFA rankings aren't the end all be all but....

Wales 19

Iran 22

Japan 24

Not sure why everyone thought the US got a good draw for the WC. IMO it was a hard group from the get go and right now it looks damn daunting. 

 

USA looked flat and unorganized today, but I feel like it would have been a different game if Ferrera could have finished that cross. May have put some energy in the squad....

Something about the importance of having someone who can actually score goals/ Dead horse.

Japan's roster definitely plays at a higher level than Iran's.  Iran has 2 players in Top 5 leagues while Japan has 12.  Iran has 16 guys playing in Iran, Qatar or UAE while Japan only has 8 guys playing in Japan.

So their manager is from the Greggg school of managing, home grown talent means more.... Jk

[Captain Ron 13133]

 

Geez, it’s worse than I remember.  

[ztejas 44286]

Who gives a fuck how good Japan is we just had 4 shots and 0 shots on goal with a B+/A- lineup. That would be an embarrassing fucking performance against Germany.

I don't really buy into the pressure and outside noise too much. But damn if it doesn't look like Gregg and this team have completely puckered.
