But from jays perspective, you have to earn your innings. He has too many options. Benge never earned the right to pitch in leverage spots, much less the right to pitch to more than a few batters.

I don't disagree, but it felt like Jay had a shorter leash on Benge than anyone else. That's his right and his job and his decision to make but he let some guys at least attempt to work out of trouble. With Benge it was a quick hook.

Landry isn't micromanaging. He's just helping connect people and push things when asked. He doesn't care about LSU nearly as much as people think he does.

I’m not surprised they divide the money between those who earned it and those who are able to have children.

Brother you can literally buy and sell players like it's the 1800s in soccer.

Belgium as just better, I think the red card bullshite also fueled them.

Top 10 team in the world.

Tip your hat.

I don't disagree with this, but it was a piss poor effort in our part as well. Lots of shitty passing, zero fight on 50/50 balls, and hardly anyone played hard. I think it was the second goal but maybe the first, we had guys everywhere around them and the shot was hardly contested. We played risky passes all night and acted shocked and didn't fight when they weren't perfect.

re: Pep

Posted by Srbtiger06 on 7/6/26 at 10:23 pm to Alyosha

Pep would take England before the US. His fingerprints were all over that squad for such a long time.

5 years ago I'd argue Pep would be a disaster with the USMNT but his system changed a good bit so maybe? We need more talent in the back though. Not just GK but you need defenders that can do more than clear the ball.

Even then, I honestly think he's done for a bit. He isn't the same guy anymore. After the treble season he morphed into philosophical old man. IF he takes an international job I think his first choice is England.

re: So Christian Pulisic is the best American born player ever?

CP is a lot like Donovan to me. They just don’t have the personality and toughness to be a captain just happen to be the most talented player on the team.

People will shite talk him, but Donovan had Bradley behind him for most of that run and Bradley was a boss on the field. He was an absolute dog in the midfield and I can't remember many times he got out worked.

Pulisic doesn't have that. I'd still argue Donovan has a better mentality than CP though. Donovan might not have been that vocal guy but he didn't have to be.

That's honestly debatable. Bad? No, but we never really looked threatening.

It almost felt like the American mentality out there was that they didn’t deserve to be there after the Balogun story became the centerpiece and automatically felt like their place was fraudulent.

I've never seen a US team play with a tighter a-hole than tonight. I've seen them get beat. I've seen them take arse whoopings. I've seen them play bad.

But I've never seen them play this far off their level. Maybe 2-3 guys looked up for it tonight. The rest looked like a Chinese fire drill for 90 minutes.
