[nirad3]

Ugh.

 

[El Floppo]

On that ****ing. Play a goal? Jfc

Just bourbon - Old Granddad 114

 

[El Floppo]

I don't know if I can watch them not run to a ball like that. Not once, but twice? Wtf.

 

[El Floppo]

Has Richards completed a pass to a teammate yet?

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Well at least it's not boring.

 

[AAABatteries]

Has Richards completed a pass to a teammate yet?

He’s been horrible

 

[AAABatteries]

To that point - Ream has been solid for several years now for us but I have basically zero confidence in our team keeping a clean sheet against anybody.

ETA - our best backs are really wingers/attackers. We don’t have a solid CB pairing and wingback defense is average at best. That plus still some too frequent disorganization makes me think we need to completely revamp the defense before ‘26.

 

[El Floppo]

Not sure if this is the right situation for Gio, tbh, given what I've seen of his defensive positioning ability. musah a better fit for this.

Agreed. Ten men with Pulisic, Reyna and Balogun is not a good recipe for defense.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

From great challenges come great opportunity. We get to learn something about how tough minded this team is.

 

[NewlyRetired]

they have to get to half time and rethink this

 

[The Z Machine]

Conspiracy theory: Weah took a red to get Berhalter out

 

[gianmarco]

Dumber red card?

Dest or Weah?

 

[gianmarco]

Pulisic's deliveries have gotten SO much better. That was a beautiful ball in....

 

[El Floppo]

Dumber red card?

Dest or Weah?

Dest

 

[gianmarco]

Whoa....Panama currently with a 71/29 advantage in possession so far.

 

[AAABatteries]

Dumber red card?

Dest or Weah?

Easily Dest, IMO. Weah was an idiot but if he pushed out like that half a foot lower he probably isn’t sent off. He deserved it but wasn’t as dumb as Dest.

 

[gianmarco]

That was a clear yellow (again)

 

[El Floppo]

Not exactly getting any favors here.

 

[General Malaise]

Soccer noob: this ref sucks

 

[AAABatteries]

Whoa....Panama currently with a 71/29 advantage in possession so far.

About what I would expect after a red.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

My "THAT'S A YELLOW!!!!!11!" is in mid-season form.

 

[encaitar]

We need to Musah or Johnny in at halftime. Need some more defensive work.

 

[General Malaise]

+6?

 

[GregR]

Is the ref allowed to give them a yellow like that? Asking for a friend.

 

[El Floppo]

My "THAT'S A YELLOW!!!!!11!" is in mid-season form.

Wala

 

[AAABatteries]

Could that not be looked at for a red? He squared him up and drilled him - dangerous play

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Going to be very hard to score if they're allowed to grab US players every time they're beat with no cards.

 

[El Floppo]

On the positive side, Balo has been at his best so far. Holding the ball, winning the ball, goal...

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

He squared him up and drilled him - dangerous play

Way more violent than Weah's for sure. But Weah didn't make it plausible.

 

[gianmarco]

You'd think the accumulation yellow is coming. They are just holding Balogun multiple times when he's had a chance to break on goal.

 

[AAABatteries]

Balogun has had a really good game tonight after a poor showing against Bolivia save the goal.

 

[El Floppo]

And Richards completed a pass!

 

[The Z Machine]

if they pull Balo, they are hella dumb

 

[IrishTwinkie]

Ref lost control of the game when he didn’t give a yellow on the turner hit. At that point anything goes.

 

[General Malaise]

Does our coach not instruct the players what offsides is? This is amateur hour.

 

[The Z Machine]

I would pull Reyna. This isn't his space

 

[AAABatteries]

if they pull Balo, they are hella dumb

Take off Reyna
