Flo is significantly better than “next man up”. We have no depth at ST as is the case for most countries.


Exactly.

Imagine Norway without Haaland or England without Kane. Before anyone scoffs, yes, Balogun is just as important to the US as those two are to their squads.

The US are in a tough spot.

Wright and Pepi aren’t the answer. I don’t know what they can do? The US only has 1 decent striker.

Reyna as a false 9 with Pulisic, Mckinnie and Dest running off of him could work.

We should blow up his house unless fifa over turns this.

It’s incredible that the ref clearly broke the written rules and admitted to such and he isn’t punished and the card not instantly overturned.

Even the scumbag NFL overturns blatant bullshite.

unfortunately I don't think Poch can do anything but simply start Pepi in his place and keep the same formation and see how it goes.

Would be shocked if he changed anything materially from that.

ESPN's VAR ongoing is it or is it not debate on pens/red cards says the VAR was a guy named Juan Ernesto Soto Arévalo

Guess where he is from when I googled his name, you can't make this SHEET UP

He is from Venezuela, why in the hell would FIFA put anyone from that nation doing a game against the USA when we just took their crooked outlaw president and put him in jail in New York?



Juan Ernesto Soto Arévalo is a Venezuelan football referee.

I mean it's possible he hates Maduro and was happy we took him out. But yes either way he shouldn't have been involved in the game.

Anything is possible, the point is you shouldn't put him on the game, either way. He did not give the pen a look either.

FIFA should have a VAR rule, NO FREEZE FRAME, unless the Ref on the field asks for it. When that VAR guy freezes the frame to start the review, he is trying to get a Red Card. any fair minded VAR would let the ref look in real time speed first.

That already is a rule for these types of situations, they just ignored it.
