Our team looks tiny compared to the England players. Wasn't expecting that.

Btw looked it up. Rangers asked to keep Zelalem until after their game Saturday. He will join the US team after that.

Alot of England's players are pretty big anyways. Hyndman and Pelosi look tiny. Kesewetter almost stole one on a back pass

This American side is rather unimpressive thus far. Getting absolutely none of the ball. Perhaps England's 11 is just vastly superior. Tragic if this is the best we can do --- even with some obvious U23 omissions. Hard to watch this.

Cropper looking pretty good. Just not getting any linkup play. Forwards don't care about team play.

The U23 side was largely unimpressive in the Toulon tournament as well.

The lack of some guys has definitely hurt my interest in this game

KDB looking sharp. A goal and an assist for Belgium today.

Get ready EPL.

ETA: Here is the goal. Nice one from distance.

That was tough to watch. Completing 3 or more passes in England's half seemed very difficult in the 1st half.

de Bruyne has become very underrated on this board due to his price tag. He's a great player.

Cropper gets taken out at half. I thought he did pretty well.

Not sure why he isn't here.


Green needs consistent playing time for his club team before he will get another US call up, IMO.

We are horrendously slow in attack.

ETA: Iceland beating the Dutch in Amsterdam.

Yup. Hopefully the subs are better...but it really looks like we are playing not to lose.

Croats have drawn with Azerbaijan in Azerbaijan.

Norway leading Bulgaria.

Malta holding Italy.

Wales have forgotten where the net is. Drawing with Cyprus in Nicosia.
