Acosta just immediately bringing some sort of spacing and balance to the midfield. Weston-Acosta-Adams is obviously a pet project of mine, but they just seem to fit together right.

The Michter's American I poured at halftime hasn't worked. Time to step it up to some (Bald) Eagle Rare.

did you watch them at all in the GC...pretty consistent with that. but playing worse. and yet they've still turned the tide a bit here.
genuinely not clear how the US is trying to attack tonight. and they've been gifted a lot of opportunities to create attacks in the opposing third.

This match has dodgy 88th minute PK written all over it

Ivan Lendl is having a pretty decent game with the whistle.

I really appreciate the 4d Chess GGG is playing at RB, probably the deepest spot in our player pool, and Berhalter is shoehorning a bottom of the pool mid there to try to convince Julian Araujo to pick the US.

Well, when you find something that's working it's important to immediately change it again. I get needing to take Yedlin off, but...

Crap, Mexico takes the lead
eta: though honestly, it’s probably better for US if Mexico wins as much as possible, and vice versa

We are really young...hopefully we learn from this and mature our attacking chemistry.

Fair play to ELS, who played hard without being cynical.

I'm not unhappy with the result, we'll destroy these guys at home, but the formation changes seemed willy-nilly and mostly didn't work.
And the players were sloppy AF.

Every one seems bummed that Mexico scored and I guess that is our general mind set but taking out the rivalry we want Mexico to win every game they don't play against us. Every win they have as the group favorite should theoretically make life easier for the US.

did anybody step up tonight?
nice to see Adams, and he was ok. didn't like the weight of his floated cross field passes that allowed els defenders to set up, but at least he was hitting them.
swag had his moments, but indecisive in the final third.
ream and robo were fine.
but none of that is exactly stepping up.
otherwise...bleh
whoa...els with the edge in possession

I thought both Weston and Gio had poor games. With out Pulisic, we needed some one to step up.
Pulisic has to be chomping at the bit to play on Sunday.

That was pretty frustrating. We are miles better than that team and even though an away point in CONCACAF is always good it still feels like a let down. Credit Hugo and ELS for doing what they needed to keep the US out of the net.
I get that they're trying to save CP's legs/lungs, but a 20 minutes cameo from him tonight and I feel he finds a way for the US to put it in the net. Hopefully the payoff against Canada and Honduras makes up for it.

Adams was the best player for the US. Good, steady presence. Provided good cover.
That said, when your #6 is the MOTM without an assist or goal or a goal saving play, you haven't played well as a team.

I got 2 good Salvi friends that are USMNT first, ELS second.
They are already looking at flights to Qatar.

they were a mess. and you're right- looked unprepared and unclear of what they were supposed to be doing or where they were supposed to be playing.
but the players were collectively a mess on the ball too.
that they played this out of sorts and still came away with the tie speaks volumes to me of how poor els is and how wasted this opportunity to get an away win was.
