I can’t confirm obviously, just passing it on. That would make more sense than signing some autographs for some kids. Yeah…the autograph story doesn’t add up.

TheA_Bomb Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Reyna gone is really going to hurt. 75% possession vs Canada but couldn't convert. Pulisic had to come way back just to get the ball as no one was getting it to him. They couldn't quickly reverse field or break down the defense some other ways.

gobillsgo Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Gregg the Egg is in over his head with this team. It’s one thing to coast through a couple regional summer tournaments with one goal wins. But WCQ is a different beast, and he’s clearly overmatched and underprepared. Any result other than three points tonight and he needs to go. this is the worst position to be in as a fan, you want your team to succeed but know they will never succeed at the highest level with their current coach. I’m obviously pulling for a win tonight, a World Cup with GGG is obviously better than no World Cup. But I wish the USSF would’ve made the right hire at the time instead of going with one of their head exec’s brother.

TheA_Bomb Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Canada has outplayed the US 2x now. I was in KC for the Gold Cup and they made 2nd half adjustments that nullified the US team. This last game their plan worked well too. In KC they didn't have Davies so they lost. Narrative now is it's hard to win on road in CONCACAF because the facilities are bad.

It will also be on Telemundo and Universo if you prefer or don’t mind a Spanish broadcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that is the narrative - it is more the environments involved. Just as it is in college sports Well said in the above post @BilliesBy40. This team is behind the 8 ball. GGG couldn't coach his way out of a cracker jack box. Makes zero attempt to solve problems during matches. It is a disaster to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I am not a huge Berhalter fan but the overreacting by USMNT fans is a little bonkers. He took over a program with zero direction or leadership in 2019. In 2019 we went to the Gold Cup final and lost, which was about as good as could be expected given where the squad was at that point. In 2021 we won the Nations League with a huge win over Mexico in the final; Our only blemish in the Nations League was against Canada (an infuriating loss), but we came back to smack Canada 4-1 a couple of weeks later (they had Davies btw) In 2021 we also won the Gold Cup with our B Team, again beating Mexico in the final We have a much deeper pool of players with national team experience than we did a couple of years ago and we have are generally better organized than any time since probably Bob Bradley I totally agree that he/they need to figure out how to consistently get goals and need to do it soon. But even as someone who was never a fan of Berhalter's style, it's hard to argue that he hasn't done a good job so far.

Soccer fans wherever are rabid. Yeah El Salvador's pitch was bad. Maybe practice at a HS or something to prepare. USMNT is going up against small, poor countries and doesn't win consistently.

USMNT is going up against small, poor countries and doesn't win consistently. World Cup qualifying is hard no matter what confederation you’re in. Italy tied Bulgaria. The European champions tied Bulgaria. Ireland tied Azerbaijan. Austria lost to Israel 5-2. It’s not an excuse. In World Cup qualifying, you’re getting everyone’s best every single game. Were the results of the 1st 2 games disappointing? Absolutely. Is it the end of the world? Not even close. We haven’t played anywhere near our best, and right now we’d still get a playoff to earn a spot in the World Cup. If you hate Berhalter and the process that was used to hire him, I get it. But the whole sky is falling overreactions because of 2 draws after 2 games is really tiresome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufanskip Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Let’s see if we can play it back to the keep so he can play it long Or misplay the 1st touch then scramble to the loose ball and drop it back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufanskip Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Get John Brooks off the field. Turn it over then slowly jog back trailing the play. That lack of hustle sucks. He’ 6 yards be hind the goal scorer, he easily could have hustled back and defended that cross. Watch the play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
