Does the US look slow?

evwryone except Gyasi and Bradley does...

 

[tim_redd]

They look tired and spacing is horrible. Movement off the ball is also horrible. US is just plain lucky they're ahead.

Lucky they have the best player on the pitch.

So slow the announcer said "too slow" during one of Gyasi's runs.

I mean Curacao has the population of cedar rapids

Their whole team Is mostly from the Netherlands. Guys that werent getting chances to play for the Dutch NT.

 

[Althetuna]

Curacao looks like the better team in the second half so far.

Aah that makes sense why they seem solid

 

[Althetuna]

Way too many give aways.

 

[Gunnerclone]

We’re going to waste Zac Steffen for the next 5 years.

 

[Althetuna]

Well.....they won

 

[ianoconnor]

That penalty awarded to Jamaica was ridiculous.

*edit: Nevermind, I didn't see the handball. I thought they called it just on that aerial challenge.

Only for the last decade

********. Demarcus Beasley. Frankie. Brian Mcbride((good friend). Cladio. Clint. Charlie Davis. Freddy. They all say ******** we aren’t slow. This is a short Truncated lost. Ps Landon says hi also.

Fair. Not cohesive

The las t decade we have not been slow. I just did that from the topic my head. We are not slow.

I think Berhalter is a good coach, and I’m willing to give him some time to get his system up and running. But holy hell, if Jozy’s match readiness was really this iffy going into the tournament then not keeping Sargent in the 23 was just stupid.

 

[tim_redd]

That game last night was pretty painful to watch honestly.

Yeah. Losing the possession battle to Curacao, ugh.

We’re slow right now. We got lumbering players all over that pitch. Berhalter likes that though that’s how he’s built his teams. Smaller, pacier, technical forwards in the pool might as well start looking at their family history because they aren’t going to be getting any looks from this set up.

Paul Arriola and J Lewis are 5'6. Will Trap is 5'8. Mihailovic is 5'10. Roldan 5'8. Pulisic 5'7.

It seems a bit of a gross over generalization to say that there are lumbering players all over the pitch. Gyesi is incredibly fast.

 

[Tre4ISU]

Blow it up. Divert all the money to the USWNT. They're the ones that deserve it.

This was a well known secret, but Gio Reyna is now officially signed with Dortmund.
