NFT: USMNT at Panama tonight - World Cup Qualifying - 10:05p

B in ALB : 3/28/2017 2:20 pm
These late starts are killing me. The US plays another huge game tonight on the road. After an overnight flight from San Jose, let's hope the boys are well rested and ready to go. Panama will be fired up as they currently sit third in the Hex. The US can overtake them tonight with a win and even get into 2nd place if CR loses.

In more injury news, Sebastian Lletget could be out up to 6 months following his injury vs Honduras.

These road qualifiers are grinders

They call for calm, compact, disciplined play.

This is why it sucks that Klinsmann fucked up any cushion we might have.
Pulisic

is a fucking Monster.

Holy shit.
Pulisic and Dempsey!

What a fucking play by this kid

Great work
He's better than Donovan. Right now.

Never seen skill from a U.S. player like this. Maybe Tab Ramos vs Brazil in 94.

Why did Cameron get benched again?

Terrible defense. Letting the ball drop.

Ream has been absolute shit.
That was Jones's guy

He's the gift that keeps on fucking us.

Ream literally ducked instead of heading the ball away.

Brutal. He and Zusi are just not good enough.
Ream needs to call it and head the ball  
B in ALB : 3/28/2017 10:53 pm : link
away from danger. Instead, he turns his fucking back? Terrible.

And per usual, Jones is a complete liability.
tied at the half on the road, can't say we deserve better based on  
Del Shofner : 3/28/2017 10:53 pm : link
the play. Don't panic, guys ...
I thought we'd keep more of the ball

O well sucks when you're back line is in shambles.

Hurt
Jones is the number one reason we haven't had more of the ball  
Go Terps : 3/28/2017 11:00 pm : link
When he doesn't have it he is out of position and dragging Bradley with him. When he does get the ball he loses it and starts a counter the other way.

And of course when he's asked to mark someone on a free kick he leaves his man and forces Pulisic to scramble too late.

They should take the number off his shirt and replace it with a minus.
Messi leaving Barca?!

What
Our D was terrible on their goal.  
CT Charlie : 3/28/2017 11:04 pm : link
But their D was even worse, leaving Dempsey unmarked on his goal.

Huh? Where'd you see that?

That has been rumored for a bit.
Jones  
GF1080 : 3/28/2017 11:06 pm : link
He's pretty much terrible at everything at this point. Any young Mid could replace him easy.
You just knew  
B in ALB : 3/28/2017 11:11 pm : link
Road game, terrible and pathetic surface, fired up crowd, ref showing no cautions to Panama for repeated fouls, short overnight flight...this one was bound to be a dogfight.

Gotta at least secure a result. Can't lose the game.

Get him out of there.

care. Acosta has experience at RB.

Bradley, Zuni, Ream and Jones have not played well. Altidore and Dempsey have been involved very little.
Is Dempsey going to chase at all

up front? Or is he in trot mode already?

What a liability.
This ref is pathetic.  
yatqb : 3/28/2017 11:22 pm : link
Feels like we're playing the old Detroit Pistons.
Jermain Jones  
B in ALB : 3/28/2017 11:22 pm : link
just standing there like a slug 10 yards away, can't receive the ball properly because he's just standing there flat footed, and bangs it into the defender wasting a long run by Pulicic and a halfway decent counter.

Leading to a counter the other way and an eventual near goal by Tejada.

Jones. Sucks.

Ream is disproving the myth that players get better leaving MLS for Europe. He was better with the Red Bulls.

Tim Ream could play in a sunday league

and he still can't fucking clear the ball with his right foot.

Jones is one of the worst players I can recall ever putting on the uniform. I don't know who he is blowing to constantly get opportunities.

Bruce needs to make a sub. Get Jones off.

out there instead.

Jon in NYC : 3/28/2017 11:27 pm : link
underrated bright spot is Villafana absolutely putting the lock down on the LB spot. He's been very very solid. Allows Johnson to move back to midfield when he's healthy.
Our back line is SO shaky  
nyjuggernaut2 : 3/28/2017 11:35 pm : link
Really hoping players like Cameron Carter-Vickers and Miazga can take that next step for us. Because a back line of Omar Gonzalez and Tim Ream just doesn't cut it.
Fabian and Nagbea the wide guys sounds good

Acosta  
Jon in NYC : 3/28/2017 11:36 pm : link
coming on. Very hyped about this kid. Lets see if he makes me eat my words.
The announcers don't want to say  
B in ALB : 3/28/2017 11:38 pm : link
that Jones sucks ass.

So I'll say it.

Jones sucks ass.
I'm not a religious man,  
Go Terps : 3/28/2017 11:38 pm : link
but if you are pray to whatever you believe in that we never see Jones play for USMNT again.
I think there's a goal coming for us

Ream.  
Mr. Bungle : 3/28/2017 11:43 pm : link
My God.
That was terrible by Ream  
B in ALB : 3/28/2017 11:46 pm : link
Playing soft. Again.
Here  
Jon in NYC : 3/28/2017 11:46 pm : link
we go. Took 80 minutes to get there but Pulisic is playing as a true no. 10. Lets see what the kid can do.
Why is the 6'2" Bradley  
B in ALB : 3/28/2017 11:56 pm : link
the designated service/corner kick guy? His service is consistently awful. You mean to tell me that Pulicic - who is what, like 5'6" - isn't a better option, allowing Bradley to challenge in the box?
4 points and +6  
Jon in NYC : 3/28/2017 11:57 pm : link
later and we're back in control of our destiny. I'll absolutely take it.
