US Men's National Team (7 Viewers)

[Ned]

That was too easy to get by Brooks

Shockingly bad there. 

 

[El Floppo]

Everything going through Dest is gold. But he needs tactical help defensively...I'd rather see him pushing forward with somebody pinching outside to provide cover

 

[TripItUp]

We would never have had this quality of possession vs the Swiss 10 years ago 

 

[El Floppo]

Great save again by whorebath

 

[NewlyRetired]

Horvath has to play much higher if the US is going to play up so much.

 

[El Floppo]

Not the first time I've seen Yueill get to the second ball second.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Not the first time I've seen Yueill get to the second ball second.

The quality drop off defensively is big between him and Adams.

 

[BassNBrew]

Horvath zardozed that one..

Awesome save. It’s like the anti-Sarge play. 

 

[TripItUp]

Where is Dike?

 

[El Floppo]

Ruh roh. Ream is going to get overrun here

 

[gianmarco]

The quality drop off defensively is big between him and Adams.

If Adams is out there, things look significantly improved, IMO. Moreso than the addition of anyone else in the lineup, including Pulisic.

 

[El Floppo]

Where is Dike?

Not in this squad

 

[The Z Machine]

Everything going through Dest is gold. But he needs tactical help defensively...I'd rather see him pushing forward with somebody pinching outside to provide cover

That's where Adams would come in IMO.  Or get Musah in the middle to push Weston to provide that cover. 

 

[NewlyRetired]

Where is Dike?

did not dress.

 

[BassNBrew]

Where is Dike?

Not in the same league as the guys playing 

 

[gianmarco]

Awful.

 

[El Floppo]

Yeah. US have looked like they turned off the last 15. That had been coming.

 

[NewlyRetired]

that was ugly.  classic play after subbing a ton of players

 

[TripItUp]

Cmon Dest 

 

[BassNBrew]

Wow that was bad about 5 ways today and twice more on Sunday 

 

[gianmarco]

Twellman is really aggravating to listen to. Almost as bad as Lala's.

 

[El Floppo]

So what's happened this second half? The swiss seem to have figured something out...or the US look like they've stopped playing.

They're making it look really easy against the US now.

 

[The Z Machine]

What was Dest thinking? He's not committed on defense.  He's lucky he plays for Barça and not Atleti cuz he'd never see the field with that crap.

And I'm talking before the subs.

 

[NewlyRetired]

And I'm talking before the subs.

actually I think it is the subs, but not the US subs, the Swiss subs that came on at halftime.

 

[gianmarco]

Some pretty buildup there.

 

[gianmarco]

Musah already impactful. 

US starting to swarm and get after it last few minutes.

 

[TripItUp]

Weah fot Sargent, thank you 

 

[BassNBrew]

Good sequence here. Doesn’t matter with Sarge out there

 

[BassNBrew]

Weah fot Sargent, thank you 

Couldn’t have played out any better for you

 

[NewlyRetired]

Weah fot Sargent, thank you 

for Gio. 

Weah is on the wing.  Sieb is in the middle

 

[Ned]

Weah fot Sargent, thank you 

You mean Weah for Reyna. 

 

[TripItUp]

You mean Weah for Reyna. 

Damn 

 

[Ned]

Great save again by whorebath

Thanks a lot for this. I can’t Unhear that now. 

 

[El Floppo]

Wait... wtf

 

[gianmarco]

Thanks a lot for this. I can’t Unhear that now. 

One of the better Floppoisms.

 

[ChiefD]

Man, this team sucks.

 

[The Z Machine]

I think i saw some of those in Amsterdam...

 

[NewlyRetired]

awful by Weah

 

[Poke_4_Life]

Weah looked like Zardes with the touch on that pass from Swag. Oof. 

 

[TripItUp]

awful by Weah

Bad touch, he needs to be better wit the few minutes he gets 

 

[El Floppo]

Good lord...like hot knife through butter there for the swiss.

Weah...not sure what he's supposed to be doing.

 

[El Floppo]

Bad touch, he needs to be better wit the few minutes he gets 

He looks really uncertain defensively...like hes not sure where or who to cover 

 

[El Floppo]

Good lord...like hot knife through butter there for the swiss.

Rinse repeat

 

[Ned]

I’m surprisingly more comfortable with Horvarth after this game. 

 

[Poke_4_Life]

Yeah. Good game from Whorebath. 

 

[ChiefD]

Yeah. Good game from Whorebath. 

Whorebath is such a great nickname. 

 

[Poke_4_Life]

McKenzie has also looked good.

Most of the Swiss 1v1s with Whorebath have come from the Brooks/Ream side.  I don't know enough about CB play to know if any of those were Mark's fault.

That has a lot to do with Dest on the left I think.

 

[El Floppo]

So is this a lesson in coaching tactics...GGG losing out at the half? Or is it a personnel issue, with the swiss subs making the difference?

Because outside of a few flurries, it's been all swiss in the second half, and by a lot.

Sieb and Weah have been absent or worse.

Musahs looked decent.
