First 5 goals involved Morris and McKennie. Last one an OG.

Sargent kicked one in as well.

It’s basically impossible to take anything definitive away from that match, but I really liked what Jackson Yueill offered out there. I’d be interested to see what he can do against better competition. I’m pretty sure, though, that we will see Bradley against Canada on Tuesday.

I don't know why but I've never had the Bradley ire. His inclusion doesn't REALLY bother me...yet. Mainly because I don't know who's better that's is available right now and I do think his experience is worth having around. The main problem with the Nagbe suggestion, and he probably would be better, is that he has turned down multiple call-ups. I haven't read why, and I don't know if that will change or continue, but he might be done wearing the USA crest. At this point it's not Ggg's fault on that particular selection.

Which at this juncture we don’t have someone to back fill Bradley is shocking and an indictment.

It should be obvious at this point that Tyler Adams is the #6 for the US for the foreseeable future once he gets healthy. Hopefully, Berhalter has moved on from his Adams should be a right back idea.

Fair.

Tonight's lineup at Canada for Nations League in Toronto
Steffen, Yedlin, Bradley, Lovitz, McKennie, Pulisic, Morris, Ream (C), Roldan, Sargent, Long

By the way, if we win, we're likely qualifying for the 2021 Gold Cup, The Top Two Teams in each League A Group automatically get a berth. Canada has qualified already

Yikes, getting outplayed by Canada.

 

[BLRNerd]

Canada has more than a few European based players, this isn't as a yikes as some people want it to be TBH

 

[tim_redd]

At least we'll get an automatic bid to the 2026 World Cup.

Hopefully most of this team wont be around for that one.

Watch, the new guys in charge will request that we have to qualify our way in.

Hey maybe our ranking will fall enough that we aren't in the hex so then the pain is instant and not at the last second this time

Nothing but garbage, total failure by US Soccer on the men's side. The Berhalter experiment has been nothing short of disastrous.

Live look at Berhalter:

 

[BLRNerd]

....part of me wants change but the other part of me knows that if we give the keys over to the guys like Commissio and etc., it's not going to get any better. It's the same old crap but with a fresh shiny coat of pro/rel on top of it

What can the fans do to help instigate a change? This should not be happening.

I'm going to be honest, no clue.

No sane politician wants to deal with US Soccer and the Olympic Committee as a whole like they should right now over the Nassar scandal in general. The Stephens Act needs to be improved in general

 

[jdoggivjc]

Remember when most of us wanted Sunil Gulati removed from office for general incompetence at running a soccer program on the world stage? Anyone else wanting those years back now?

OMG, US Soccer is such a disaster right now.

So glad I had to cancel my trip to Toronto! That would have been a ***** to sit through.

The full article by Wahl. Absolutely nailed it.

One correction. It has been in a state of crisis ever since the loss to Trinidad & Tobago. It never went away, it’s been in a perpetual state. Same ****, different day for years.
