Team Updates:

Gio Reyna has been diagnosed with a right hamstring strain and has been ruled of the matches against Canada and Honduras.

Weston McKennie has not been included in today’s squad following a violation of team policy.

 

[BeTheMatch]

It's legitimately getting difficult to try to cheer this disaster on at this point

 

[NewlyRetired]

I hope Pepi gets a chance in second half...

 

[TLEF316]

Oh Christ. Too many twinkies?

 

[NewlyRetired]

is nothing ever easy :(

Anyways, here is the line up

===========

Roger Gonzalez

@RGonzalezCBS

USMNT XI: Turner, A. Robinson, Brooks, M. Robinson, Dest, Adams, Lletget, Acosta, Aaronson, Pulisic, Pefok

Weston in for Lletget would have been really nice but this is not a terrible line up over all.

How much Chipotle could Weston have eaten for ####'s sake?

Weston McKennie has not been included in today’s squad following a violation of team policy.

Perhaps Nashville wasn't the ideal location...should've played in Salt Lake(pick any city in Utah)

I hope he went big, like hookers and blow after partying in nashville clubs all night...if you're going to break the rules, break the rules correctly

 

[NewlyRetired]

GGG will address the Weston issue in his post game conference.

 

[NewlyRetired]

well #### all the noise, we still need a win and Canada is not playing their best lineup and Davies may not go the full 90 either.

And what, exactly, are we trotting out there????

 

[TripItUp]

Other thoughts

Really big opportunity for Pefok...we really need somebody to emerge.

Also not surprised Captain America is starting...was fishy from the beginning.

Canada doesn't have the kind of midfield quality that can take advantage of Lletget, so he shoule be fine...I worry more about him vs. top tier competition.

Nowhere to go but up for Dest, needs to redeem his self.

Aaronson an easy decision IMHO, need his attacking quality

 

[NewlyRetired]

he went to get Chipotle with out a mask on, I just know it

A #USMNT spox wouldn’t get into specifics, but reading between the lines it sounds like Weston McKennie broke Covid protocol

 

[NewlyRetired]

A pretty good lineup.  I would say 9 regular starters which is pretty good for any one game these days.

Disaster?    cmon man

It seems like in this thread every one of these guys has been ripped to shreds at one point or another. Hard to know if there's anyone that doesn't SUCK!!!

I've been known to imbibe in hyperbole from time to time.

What a team of ###-kickers.  And everyone's in their natural spot too.

LFG!!!!!! (you guys worry to damn much)

 

[TripItUp]

Andy- what are the chances we get Gio back for Wednesday's match?  If you had to guess?  50/50?

0%  US Soccer said he is out for both games.

Son of a #####...damn

 

[NewlyRetired]

Panama up by 2 still, middle of second half.  The other games are still donuts on the board in middle of first..

 

[NewlyRetired]

I don't remember him getting hurt so it must have been in training (hamstring I believe)

he should have went to Brazil and lied about it

Did US Soccer describe his body language?

 

[NewlyRetired]

Silver lining and all that foolishness:

Lets get three points and then Weston will not only be fresh but likely play out of his mind to make things up to his teammates in Honduras.

 

[TripItUp]

Might be happy to get a point at Honduras with Gio and possibly Swag out.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Weston just confirmed his screw up on Intagram

[ChiefD]

This is like rooting for the Royals. I'll always love them but holy hell they are stupid sometimes.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Looks like Panama has secured the first three points away on the cycle.  Up 3-0 late in game.

Jamaica went from missing half their team and 1 minute away from a point in Mexico to getting smoked at home with their full team.

Crazy inconsistency.

This screams he wasn’t going to start anyway for rotational purposes (I seriously doubt he would have played 90 in all 3).

We'll know by Wednesday

 

[scorchy]

Pretty good seats, at least for one half of the action.  The crowd that's here is great, but not a ton of us.  Lower bowl looks like it's gonna be filled.  They only sold tix on one side of the middle and upper tiers, and those seats are maybe half full.

[Steve Tasker]

Do other countries do this #### where every single media outlet tells you the game is at 8 PM but it's really not on until like a half hour later?  So ####### stupid.

 

[Poke_4_Life]

Why does Fotmob think the game has started and yet I am watching tunnel?  WTF?

 

[Poke_4_Life]

Seriously. WTF is going on?

Now getting anthems and Fotmob says we are in minute 4.

Did we get an early goal?

 

[Poke_4_Life]

Not yet. No stat updates. 

Think Fotmob assumes we are like every other country in the world and starts games at the actual time listed.

Appreciate it, but I no longer follow every post in this thread.  Moves too fast for me and I'm not on FBG as often as I used to be.  Wish Google would've had your info

 

[gianmarco]

I like the patience.

Antonee is fast AF.

 

[TripItUp]

Suck it Davies!

 

[gianmarco]

Good, quick touches. This was missing last game.

 

[SwampDawg]

Great D by Adam’s  with help from Dest and Brooks

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Having VAR in the Gold Cup and the Nations League but not in WC qualifying is so CONCACAF.

Possessing the ball well

Why is that even a CONCACAF decision? Shouldn’t FIFA dictate that?

 

[El Floppo]

once again...needs to move the ball quicker side to side.

 

[El Floppo]

this red is already way too concacaffy

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Turner has those hockey goalie reflexes.
