US Men's National Team (65 Viewers)

[Sammy3469]

Just too many defensive players.  

 

[Sinn Fein]

Not #### = Pepi. He looks at least at dangerous as Sargent. 

I think it says a lot about where we are that anyone in the program thought an 18-yo kid was the solution to any problems. 

 

[FreeBaGeL]

I think it's clear we don't have the depth we thought we did, or at least that it's not as important as we thought it was.  Just because our backups would be a below average starter on a typical USMNT doesn't mean we can win with a bunch of guys that would be below average starters normally.

Maybe we suck.  But we're definitely not good enough to be missing this many key players and not suck.

 

[PIK95]

I can't remember the last time I have seen a team, any team, look this bad.  They can't do anything.  Our spacing is AWFUL for starters.  There seems to be no chemistry at all.  Guys all moving at different speeds.  Terrible touches all around.  Zero creativity.  We are lucky it's only 1-0.  They need to pull a Nate and park the bus, hope for a Jamie Tart counter goal.  Oh wait, that was a 1-1 match.

At this rate, I am about ready to boycott the 2022 World Cup. 

I just can't support it based on how it was awarded and the poor working conditions for immigrant workers. 

(Reserve the right to pull the boycott later in WCQ.)

 

[Dr_Zaius]

but...but...the back pass beckons!

If I remember correctly, Acosta did in fact pass it back to Brooks.

 

[Sinn Fein]

 Deuce thinking about suiting up…

 

[PIK95]

Casa de los Famosos appears to be the Telemundo equivalent of Big Brother.

Also, why are all of the Telemundo commercials in English?

None of my commercials are in English.  But the girls are muy bueno in every one of them.

[SpurrierisisGod]

Absolute mess.  GGG has lost this team.  It looks like he's given them direction and they just don't care to do it.  I said earlier GGG has earned more time but this looks like a team that is just doing their own thing.  

Or, maybe they've read all the press about how good they should be.  Something isn't right.

 

[gianmarco]

Can't wait to hear Lalas and Twellman

 

[AAABatteries]

Our best highlight of the first half was their keeper taking that guy out.

 

[Ned]

 Deuce thinking about suiting up…

Give him the chalk and a whistle. 

 

[SpurrierisisGod]

Midfield is either non existent or just gives it away.  We've heard for 10+ years "build from the back. Build from the back".  They are trying (sort of) and just can't. 

I dont know what to do.  Just go long ball, high school style, and get some goals.

 

[Steve Tasker]

 Deuce thinking about suiting up…

Can't be worse than this ####

Garbage through and through. 

 

[bagger]

O/U on halftime subs?

 

[El Floppo]

Only thing I can think to do is to bring on Konrad and Aaronson up top, slot CP into the center, bring Yedlin in, and move Adams into the 6.

Just a disappointing performance. 

yes. Pepi and/or Sarge out.

Legit sad over here fellas 

no more Lletget!!!

 

[Ned]

Sarge - Aaronson

Brooks - Yedlin

Move back to a 4-3-3

 

[The Z Machine]

Brooks looks like he's quit on this team.  Sad really. 

 

[SpurrierisisGod]

And Cp not getting ANY calls.  He needs to either quit looking for one or act like they just murdered his puppy.   Can't go half way

 

[Poke_4_Life]

O/U on halftime subs?

0.5

 

[El Floppo]

btw...Bello with the Butan slow mo death March (not) getting back to cover the guy Brooks left by chasing the ball at MF on the goal.

Yeah but I think they meant build from the back after the keeper gets the ball organically.  Not pass up a chance at a 1v1 on the edge of the box to back-pass 4 times all the way back to the keeper so you can build from the back.

 

[encaitar]

Brooks - Zimmerman

Sands - Aaronson(move Adams to CDM, Acosta to RB, and Aaronson to 10)

 

[El Floppo]

as poorly as Brooks has played, is there anybody else who can make a pass to any of the forwards? 

 

[Steve Tasker]

Brooks looks like he's quit on this team.  Sad really. 

They've all quit.

 

[scorchy]

At least we should auto-qualify as the primary host in 2026, right?  Hope I'm still alive then.

 

[JaxBill]

starting to think that success in those summer tourneys were a curse because now these young players came in last week thinking that qualifying is a given.

 

[El Floppo]

####### hell.

please win us back over, boys. this has been a ####### disgrace.

 

[Sammy3469]

I also have to say GGG didn’t do a lot of these guys favors by playing so many of them out of their natural positions.

 

[AAABatteries]

I’d rather watch Kate for the next 45 minutes than the match.

 

[Poke_4_Life]

3 subs. Am I dreaming?

 

[encaitar]

Aaronson, Robinson, and Lletget in for Bello, Brooks, and Sargent....

At least he's taking a swing.

 

[El Floppo]

and this is going to be 45mins of absolutely ####tieist ####housery concacaffing by HON

 

[bagger]

They've all quit.

I truly believe this. GGG has lost the team.

 

[Steve Tasker]

45 minutes to save your coach's job.  How much do you care?

 

[The Z Machine]

At least we should auto-qualify as the primary host in 2026, right?  Hope I'm still alive then.

We're going to have to back into a slot in '26 after 8 years of not qualifying like some little #### country. 

 

[SpurrierisisGod]

btw...Bello with the Butan slow mo death March (not) getting back to cover the guy Brooks left by chasing the ball at MF on the goal.

Definitely.  Lb responsibility and he was 5 yds back just watching

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Lletget brace incoming. 

 

[Poke_4_Life]

Why Bello off? Didnt see him do much wrong. 

 

[Ned]

Can CP go another 90?

 

[AAABatteries]

I truly believe this. GGG has lost the team.

I didn’t necessarily think that but there was no heart on display from just about anybody in that first 45.  I honestly don’t get it after what we saw this summer.

 

[El Floppo]

Why Bello off? Didnt see him do much wrong. 

Definitely.  Lb responsibility and he was 5 yds back just watching

and couldn't hit a pass to save his life.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Why is Sands still on?  Dude is shell shocked out there can't even do the most basic stuff.

 

[Ned]

Why Bello off? Didnt see him do much wrong. 

He was caught too far forward too many times IMO. 

 

[AAABatteries]

Why Bello off? Didnt see him do much wrong. 

Bad on the goal and didn’t do much going forward.

 

[Poke_4_Life]

and couldn't hit a pass to save his life.

Guess I missed that. The goal was on Brooks, right?  (And others, but still...)

 

[Eephus]

In for the second half.

Is the English language broadcast behind a paywall?

 

[El Floppo]

Guess I missed that. The goal was on Brooks, right?  (And others, but still...)

yeah. you missed Bello watching Brooks' guy without making a move to him.

 

[Steve Tasker]

I didn’t necessarily think that but there was no heart on display from just about anybody in that first 45.  I honestly don’t get it after what we saw this summer.

The game's different when you're not playing a (relatively) meaningless tournament on home soil, and you're in a CONCACAF blood match in the murder capital of the world.
