It's ridiculous that all of our players on the pitch right now have to share it with these Grenada semi-pros, but it's especially ridiculous that Musah has to share it with them


One can only hope Flo’s first action for the USA has him being marked by some Belizian off duty cop.

Zendejas has been outstanding.

Top 3 players today have been Pulisic, McKennie, and Zendejas.

Took Grenada 88 minutes to realize they are in CONCACAF and finally two-footed someone.

That was an arse whooping!

Pulisic man of the match its amazing how great the game flows when he plays.

Kudos to coach for subbing early enough to allow subs to matter.

Zendajas is going to be a good piece to the long term puzzle

Pepe great finishing goal

Defending still suspect vs poor team

Field better than expected

We scored one goal in 52 minutes last time under Berhalter and that was at home .

We’ve scored 6 away on an awful pitch in the same amount of time.

It is a great sign that guys like Scally, De La Torre, Pepi are getting good minutes with Reyna, Pulisic, Mckennie, BA

Lol wut?

That field was trash. The ball would bobble for no reason and everyone was slipping.

Could have been much worse. Imagine longer grass with too much watering. Slows us down. It was better than expected

Pretty sure the pitch my son plays on was a better surface than what they played on tonight.

USA wins big 7-1 on road with a Temp coach and lets focus on the pitch.

He’s a great handler and distributor. A good striker for him to feed would be legendary. Wasn’t crazy about hearing he hadn’t even talked to Balogun.

Context man, context. It was a one line blurb in a long post as a general comment yet you chose to focus on it.

Now you're just getting defensive for no reason.

Anyway, really not a lot to take away from that game other than that everyone got out healthy and no one on our team tried to fight Gio on the pitch. Other than that, a beatdown against a bunch of plumbers and longshoremen doesn't move the needle.

Credit to Hudson for not making the team all about him, and just letting the players play.

Credit to Savi for putting more time and research in to developing a jersey that looks better than the crap from nike(hope they don’t use kangaroo!)

There was plenty to take away.

Coach put out a lineup to take it to them early

We can score and win big on road (prior coach struggled away)

Coach subbed early enough to allow subs to het into flow of game and make some plays (another improvement)

Defense had some lapses need to shore up

We can play on bad pitch yet not let it distract us too much. Didn’t see any play that was drastically altered by pitch

Pepe can play and still head scratcher why left off WC team.

Pulisic is fully healthy and makes a huge difference hiw our game flows

We should have won and did. Scored 7. Great game for the US

Man, this was like when we won on the road at Cuba in 2019 Nations League. We beat a shite team... yay?

Again, like Cuba.

I want Pepe nowhere near the USMNT. But because Pepi scored 2 goals against Grenada you thought that was reason enough for him to be in Qatar 5 months ago? So then you were definitely ok with Ferreira since he scored 4 goals against these same guys.

You could've managed that game and we would've won.

Again, there is nothing to take away from this game other than we beat a team with a bunch of semipros and everyone is healthy.

Stop trying to make it more than what it was.

It's why the Nations League is so stupid because now we have to play these CONCACAF minnows even more than we used to. It does nothing for our players other than gives them more opportunity to get two-footed by a plumber trying to make a name for himself or frick up an ankle on a shite pitch.

Can we take a convincing win over a team like this for granted now?
