Also Berhalter and Arena both played him as the lone CDM and fans lose their shite when he gets run ragged.


It’s hard for anyone to argue with you when you are so clueless about the game. Have you played or coached at ANY level?

For fricks sake the 6 is a distributor and shields the 4/5. He shouldn’t be moving much and even alone shouldn’t be ragged.

Watching some English lad call Premier League games on Sunday morning doesn’t make you an expert, but you spout of on here like you are.

Jesus Christ you’re a prick.

When Gregg plays a two man midfield with McKennie going up field how is Bradley supposed to cover Mexico’s midfield 3 by himself?

Congrats, elitist assholes like yourself are part of why many Americans can’t get into the sport. As if playing (I did plenty) or coaching is some barrier to commenting on the sport. But hey you played goalie for some Honduran team in NOLA so I guess you’re the resident expert

I don’t care about you commenting on the sport. No problem with it no matter how misinformed it is.

But you call out people consistently, and you have no idea what the frick you’re talking about. Zero.

You might be setting the record here for most butthurt over disagreeing with someone else’s POV. But cool. Thanks for your opinion, will keep that in mind.

And I’ll keep in mind that Ian Darke is the reason you think you’re an expert.

It sucks but we arent a very good team with or without young players

The US lost last night because Mexico wanted it more. Were soft no fight our captain got choked last night and he/ we did nothing about it the ref let them play dirty and we didn't play dirty back.

If you cant get your nuts swole against youre biggest rival in a championship match then you dont have what it takes to win.

I know jozy and arreola missed to gimmes but we didnt have the fight to keep going.
Pulsic's awesomeness will be wasted

US needs to start club style soccer academy's like Europe.

Kids being coached by they're dad's after work, arent going to get it done on a big stage.

We have the money and resources yet we still fail

Ps i hate fricking mexico


If you would have mentioned the lack of pro/rel in the MLS you would have just about hit every single hot take related to the USMNT.

Still arguably the best options at their respective positions.

This one is debatable but obviously they don't think Sargent is quite ready, and they opted to put Weah in the U-20 WC. The federation wanted to win this Gold Cup to help restore faith in the program, and Gyasi is a safer bet at this moment in time.

They gave Weah the option of maybe being a sub in the Gold Cup or starting in the U20 WC, and he chose the WC.

I think we’re a potent striker away from being a pretty decent team

I agree except for Ream. I think it’s time for him to sit and us to play a LB who can get forward. The lack of overlapping on that side means we rely on interplay between Pulisic and Arriola to create opportunities. It’s not dynamic enough imo. Having a marauding LB adds another dimension, which was great when run DMB reimagined himself as a LB. Here’s to hoping Robinson comes good soon for Everton.

Agreed. There were a few times on the attack we cut inside, dragging the defenders in, which would have set up an overlapping run. And he was nowhere to be found.

I appreciate his toughness, but he’s not dynamic at all.

What? Our guys, especially Mckinnie took the fight to them last night. That was one of the bright spots.

No. Just no. They could not be more different as players

Mckinnie was man enough to get him off of his back but why was he there Pulsic should have bucked up and thrown him off. Mckinnie he got choked and didnt do shite 2 seconds later.

The US isnt a finesse team, they need to be gritty and let everybody know they are in a fight to win this game.

Attitude/ Edge make some one scared to go for a jump header because they gonna get knocked around.

What do you want him to do with the ref 1 foot away?
