re: Would Gregg Berhalter have had the team better prepared for Belgium than Pochettino?

Is that not literally what he did in the second half and did it not create the intended outcome until the 3rd goal?
More shots? Goals? No to both. Gio Reyna helped us maintain possession a bit better but otherwise nothing changed.

You're just basing your argument on feelings at this point and that's fine.
There is definitely someone doing that in this thread

I just laid out the stats for those periods that you said were ridiculous for looking at the game that way.
Do those stats not say there was a material difference, for meaningful periods, in the way the game was being played and ultimately were killed, twice, by two colossal 1 on 1 mistakes? 1 being way worse than the other obviously.

I won't argue with that. But we were still in the game until the 3rd goal, however shitty we looked and I'm holding no coach or player to turning around a deficit after something like that happens.

We were not in the game.
You know how I know?
Because Belgium played the whole second half in a low block, knowing that we couldn't break them down. Which was correct because for the entire match, we only had one shot on target from the run of play when we were chasing the result.

Fair enough and won't argue that viewpoint.
I consider 2-1 with 33 minutes left "in the game", regardless of how bad we looked. Another set piece goal or goal against the run of play changes things materially without the 3rd goal.
And in all reality, you're probably right it would have come anyway before it was all said and done.
Doesn't matter at this point, just a shitty night and kick in the dick which is extremely frustrating with how we played earlier, wherever the fault lies.
