Crazy because he doesn't have any trouble banging them in the Championship.

[A-Tex Devil 2445]

That Musah goal was pretty sweet.  Jedi owning the dude on the sideline, give and go with Pulisic and Aaronson, then pass to a sprinting Musah.  That’s some of the best combo play I’ve seen. 

[Derka 5999]

 

[shnsajax 3590]

Cantor being all of us seeing Musah finally get his.

[ztejas 43382]

Some of the balls Pulisic has been playing are phenomenal. 

Even from the corner for Milan he's had some gems this season. 

He's almost better than I thought he could ever be at this point. Glad they sent him back to Italy - right decision for both orgs imo.

Poch you crazy son of a bitch.

Missed us the other night. Excited to tune in but I'm a little sleepy.

Let's see if we can hand L Tri an L in Meh hee ko.

[ztejas 43382]

I'd call this like a B, B- squad? 

[Ted Lange 16055]

Arob is the only clear first XI playing tonight

Yeah but a ton of second XI guys. You might be right though - B-, C+

Also I feel like our 1, 2, 3 are a bit in flux right now. 

I think Turner is still first XI.

Morris and  Buiso are behind, Weston, Musah, Tillman, Adams, Reyna, Jhonny, De La Torre.   They are at best 3rd stringers probably closer to 4th

G we're preaching to the choir at each other. You and I both know where all these guys sit. 

It isn't a straight C team I'll leave it at that. 

Also - like I said - Poch's 1, 2, 3, 4 may be different than Gerggs. 

Scratch that - I hope like fuck it's different than Gerggs.

Austin filled their stadium better than Mexico.

Ok, wasn’t arguing.  Just running thru the other midfielders.   I think B- / C team is correct.   Somewhere between Gold Cup and World Cup squad.

They've kind of sucked for a few years now.

I was just thinking - despite how critical I was of him a couple years ago - Antonee is easily the best player on the pitch tonight. That says a lot about him but also says something about Mexico. 

[Ted Lange 16055]

Was gonna say, this looks like a crowd brought to you by USSF marketing 

[ztejas 43382]

Holy shit. Just checked transfermkt (which isn't always amazingly accurate).

Mexico's latest 23 iteration doesn't have one player listed with a transfer value over 10M. 

Jedi is at 25M Euro to further my point.

I wanted to not care about this friendly with a bunch of B team players. But Mexico looks chippy as hell so Fuck Mexico!!!

Dude you have to care it's our 2nd game with a new manager.

Signed - someone who didn't watch our 1st game with a new manager. 

[Ted Lange 16055]

US first touch has been awful 

[gsoda3 3238]

The pitch is like a travis county field.  Worse even.

 

Why are they booing scally and Jedi?

[ztejas 43382]

No one cares get off the pitch you bum.

first thing that jumped out at me.  heavy and clumsy.

would like Tessmann to get more minutes.

[Derka 5999]

i had no idea guardado was retiring tonight. that’s the final nail in the coffin of mexico’s “golden generation”. dos santos, chicharito, guardado- they’re all long gone now. sucks to suck mexico. 

[Braff Zacklin 13477]

Nice moment for Andres. He came up at about the same time as Bradley the Younger.

[RamjetFDO 10567]

Well that was well taken...

[ztejas 43382]

That was hit rather well. 

[Derka 5999]

well that was a nice strike.

[ztejas 43382]

We'll be lucky to get a point now. Not a lot of juice up front. Let's see what Poch can do. 

[Braff Zacklin 13477]

Nice free kick. Utterly undeserved but refs gonna ref.

[ztejas 43382]

Tilman is supposed to be this awesome club prospect - I have yet to see it for us. Just feel like he isn't wired for country competition. 

[Braff Zacklin 13477]

This lineup can't string three passes together.

[Ted Lange 16055]

9 shots to 0.   This team has zero offense outside or LB. Ugh 

[ztejas 43382]

Get Morris off the pitch. Holy hell. 

[Ted Lange 16055]

There is no chance we are gonna strong together 6+ passes and get a shot.   This midfield is awful.  A quick counter is about the only chance to score. 

[Ted Lange 16055]

 

and good night.   

[ztejas 43382]

Rough window to take over during. 

[ztejas 43382]

I'd have Miles Robinson walk back to the states after whatever the fuck that was. 

Embarassing shit tonight. We look as bad as we have in awhile. 

[perfectchaos007 6603]

One positive about GGG is he had a great record against Mexico

[Napoleon 8634]

This team is crap.

Spoiler

The USMNT is even worse.

 

[Billy Pilgrim 1942]

Hopefully this is our low point and it’s going to get better from here. I’ve never seen the usmnt play this bad.

Meh. All but one of his games was on US soil.

I've seen it. Not that this is encouraging.

I'm concerned that the USSF didn't give enough time for an overhaul. 

But - also - we are seeing the same player pool issues that existed whether or not GGG was in charge. That I've been harping on for years now.

I would also add that:
A. He didn't start out that well either, opening up with 2 losses to Mexico in 2 games

B. He generally was running out a A level squad against Mexico. This 11 is a B-/C squad if you ask me.
