USMNT 2023

This needs to be Paul's last callup. 

[Bottlecap 1523]

i CANNOT fucking wait to get a real coach who will never let me see paul muthafuckin arreaola again

[ztejas 44129]

Me watching this Jones cat.

[RamjetFDO 10643]

Johnson left himself in no man's land there... needed to be more decisive, and got lucky nothing happened.

[Bottlecap 1523]

we look so much better in a 442. i don't even know why we play with a 9 who never ever gets service

[ztejas 44129]

This Tolkin kid is completely out of his depth. 

I'll be patient though - could be some nerves in his first cap.

H8rz gonna H8 on the author of the back heel for Paxten’s second shot.

Pure filth and guile on that potential assist  

Plus, Pablo is a Latino from SoCal he deserves one last start.

Pep, Barcelona, and the Dutch play with a 4-3-3, that’s why we play with that formation.

I did like Tolkin tapping the ball further away than where the Colombians were going to take their free kick at about the 17 minute mark.

Some of his misgivings thus far could be this dumbass coaching staff. They're playing him way too high up the pitch like he's prime Marcelo or some shit.

Yeah that was nice I just don't see the point of playing him anymore. He'll be aged out by 2026 and isn't good enough to justify not giving some younger guys a shot. 

[ztejas 44129]

Nice ball by Ferreira. Horrible shot. 

[Horny Bull 2766]

Maybe try to shoot it where the keeper *isn’t* standing, Hoppe.

[ztejas 44129]

Hey Colombia this is a C team friendly. Maybe turn down the histrionics a bit. 

[Napoleon 8822]

Pablito ARRIOLA making great runs. He’s always a threat. 

Colombia’s #9 looks familiar. 

[RamjetFDO 10643]

Definitely tugged on the Nipple.

[ztejas 44129]

You don't have space to turn with the ball there Jones.

Hoppe's first touch isn't great. 

Arriola is ironically the best player on the pitch for us right now. 

I mean... he should be. But still. 

[Captain Ron 13122]

Did Jesus just head that ball in the box AWAY from the target?

[ztejas 44129]

Did Acosta (right footed) just go for goal from the right side of the box? 

Edited January 29, 2023 by ztejas

[Napoleon 8822]

ARRIOLA and and D Jones are just bossing that right side. Pablito’s speed and vision are a constant threat. He’s irreplaceable. 

[ztejas 44129]

Just now, Captain Ron said:

Jesus doesn't have the faculties to be a target striker. He feels more like a winger to me.

Nipple should have had his call up rescinded when he acted like he was doing the US a favor for showing up after getting a World Cup snub. 

[ztejas 44129]

Lil'Aaronson is leaving a bit to be desired.

Hoppe's technical ability on top of the ball is non existent. 

We might have something with this Jones kid. 

Sean John* was fine. 

I never want to see J.R.R. play defense for us in a competitive match. 

Oh and Ferreira. I mean, just... I don't know. I'm dead inside when it comes to our striker pool. He's making Haji Wright look like a superstar. 

Bonus: Peacock halftime show.

Perhaps you missed the second half of the USMNT vs The Netherlands when Ferreira “settled” a high ball in the Dutch box by knocking it toward the middle of the field about 20 yards away from anything dangerous. 

Following the Argentine team since about 2007, I have seen them make 6 tournament finals (+ the Finalissima), but I have never seen them employ that strategy. 

Jesús is just ahead of his time.

[ztejas 44129]

Extra Peacock coverage. 

Edited January 29, 2023 by ztejas

[Captain Ron 13122]

Did I see that keepers name right?

[Napoleon 8822]

Paxten Aaronson doesn’t have man strength (yet?). He understands the game and can get in position to protect the ball, but he is a boy playing with men.

Arriola & Ferreira have a really good understanding understanding of what the other one is doing. 

Ferreira is with a winger or an attacking midfielder. He is not, and never will be, a #9.

Sean Johnson instills zero confidence from his play.

Tolkin seems fine. I think that he and Aaronson have the same taste in music, style, and late ‘70s Camaros. 

Eryk Williamson needs to be on the ball more. 

Hoppe has pleased and disappointed. I’m sure that his club teams know exactly what I’m talking about. 

Acosta’s set pieces have no been bad, but they have not been good. I would have liked to have seen Paxten take them. Now I’m the second half, I would like to see Soñora take the set pieces.

[kingkoopa6 8616]

Just tuned in. How we lookin?

who beastin? Who should be on plane right home?

I want all of them cut immediately and the coaches lined up and shot.

Alright Tolkin is redeeming himself. That was pretty. 

[ztejas 44129]

Great effort to get to the ball there from Zim. Just didn't fall right for him. 

[ztejas 44129]

Why is DeJuan Jones just now being given a look? He's 25 years old. 

Our org is so fucking incompetent it hurts. 

[Captain Ron 13122]

Jesus Christ Jesus!!!

Bruh. Vazquez bad ass.

He's embarassing. Put Vasquez out there. 

[kingkoopa6 8616]

Haha. Bruh. Vasquez with a cheeky move to get the ball to nipple. And then nipple punts it to section 203 

[ztejas 44129]

Neal on. 1-0 COL inc.

[Napoleon 8822]

It is currently 55°F in Carson, CA and some of the fans are bundled up like they are attending a Bills home playoff game.

I ❤️ SoCal !

[Bottlecap 1523]

we went back to a three man front and suck ass again at building an attack

Half of these guys have no idea what they're doing. This is unwatchable soccer but I have a vested interest still.

I mean I was basically right. That's a pen if there's VAR. 

Fucking JAG city these last two matches.

I like Jones. What’s the details on this cat?

Bruh 55 but feels like 20 here bro.  

[ztejas 44129]

Jones is a mixed bag but I want to see him at another camp. When he flashes he really flashes. 

Acosta has been poor on set pieces tonight. 

Terrible from Paxten there. Quit diving and keep running.

Fantastic clearance there. Has he just now put it together or have we been missing the boat on this dude? 

(why am I even asking that question)

I just spotted this from the same day as (and lost due to) the Copa America announcement. A really good idea that should help all of the leagues in both confederations

No. Fuck that. Dude has never won anything. 

Also - how are there even rumors right now when we don't have a GM or whatever the title is? 

Go home Telemundo.

[Ted Lange 16394]

We have never won anything, perfect match 

Or just hire Jim Curtain. 

[Napoleon 8822]

He would need to be required to hire a Defensive Coordinator.

Also, he doesn’t win things, but the teams tend to perform pretty well soon after he leaves, especially the national teams. 
 

Maybe we can hire him and then fire him after the 3024 Copa America.

Matt Turner voted MOTM by Arsenal fans after his near perfect performance against Man City. it's really kind of crazy how far he's come during his short time at Arsenal.
