I don't understand why we're so averse to hitting little lobbed through balls into the box

I was wondering why Twellman didn't bitch about that short corner, and then noticed that he didn't say a single word for the remaining two minutes of the half. Clearly too angry to speak.

We looked like hot garbage at the end of that half. I don't understand why we look so poor going forward

Just going forward? I'm not normally negative about sports but the entire team (outside of GK) look like garbage.

We looked so out sync at the end. Just kept giving the ball right back to them

For some reason, I have no electricity so I have no idea what happened.

Not just going forward, but I expect the D to be bad at this point. The offense had looked better to me in the other games.

Both teams are sloppy and pushing a lot of numbers forward. Ghana is faster and getting better opportunities on the break. We didn't kick the ball out and it bounced shittily around until their best player got it and scored from 12 yards out.

baby USMNT doesn't pass very well.

sorto sorta sucks

back line isn't great but a weak MF and a non-existent RB (defensively) is putting them in bad spots.

They look really sloppy today

Trapp and Lopez are not transitioning well. They're getting caught up the field, and the back four (three) is consistently faced with a number of Ghanians running at them.

Even on the goal, you could probably blame it on Lopez. O'Neill and Trapp should hae done better, but if Lopez doesn't take 5 seconds to close down a Ghanian player lining up a shot 30 yards from goal, they probably go into the locker room at 0-0.

If we could quit with these cute square balls in the middle of the field, that'd be great.
