For sure. Everyone gets blame for how the first half went. Every single player was timid and just looked so overwhelmed.

That being said it’s 2-1 and we’re looking good and growing into the game with the Reyna sub…and then we go no call on Pulisic, he’s injured and down to ten men, Freese fricks up


Oh yeah Freese’s frick up was massive, but that was another chance for Ream to cover his teammates that he failed on.

That ball passed within a foot of him and it wasn’t moving particularly fast. He has to find a way to get a touch on it.

As bad as everyone was, I think there’s a good chance the game ends 2–2 if Freese doesn’t make that huge mistake. The Reyna sub worked and were starting to turn the screws

Agreed. The way the 2nd half started, it felt like the equalizer was coming eventually.

I can't say I was necessarily confident about winning still, but I thought we were at least going to go out on our shield like Mexico did.

It almost felt like the American mentality out there was that they didn’t deserve to be there after the Balogun story became the centerpiece and automatically felt like their place was fraudulent.


Thanks Trump

I've never seen a US team play with a tighter a-hole than tonight. I've seen them get beat. I've seen them take arse whoopings. I've seen them play bad.


I’m sure a few sleeps and a full rewatch might help, but at the moment, that feels legit worse than Couva. I can handle getting beat, tonight was something else
