game start?
US is -200...wonder what it would have been if  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/3/2019 9:16 pm : link
Jamaica wasn't missing their most in form player.
Kickoff..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/3/2019 9:17 pm : link

after I asked I looked it up. Sorry for being lazy.
No problem..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/3/2019 9:20 pm : link
the game last night didn't start until an hour later, so it could be confusing.

Yellow card accumulation is so fucking annoying.

You should be allowed to commit a hard tactical foul once per game.
I know they killed it pre game but I like that Ream is  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/3/2019 9:26 pm : link
captain tonight. One of the only players to have a great game last time out and his job is huge tonight.
I did agree with the general attitude about throwing the arm band  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/3/2019 9:31 pm : link
around, but no one really deserves it on this team outside Pulisic and he's 20. I actually thought it was dumb to give it to him last game, once he gets it that should be it, he's the captain going forward.
Anyone have an idea why Zimmerman got benched?  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/3/2019 9:33 pm : link
?
Zardes would have accidently scored that lol.  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/3/2019 9:38 pm : link
God puliscic is so good.
Man arriiola  
dep026 : 7/3/2019 9:41 pm : link
Has to bury that.
How Arriola gets so much burn is beyond me. Guy does a great  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/3/2019 9:43 pm : link
job at getting chances but his finishing is putrid.

We look great attacking right now.
Good attacking early but  
flycatcher : 7/3/2019 9:44 pm : link
Holy smokes, someone’s got to finish
Who’s this team in red???  
dep026 : 7/3/2019 9:45 pm : link
They look really good haha
Do we look good or does Jamaica look like aclusterfuck  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/3/2019 9:46 pm : link
without their CB . Can't tell.
Nice!  
flycatcher : 7/3/2019 9:46 pm : link
Terrific passing and finish
When Altidore..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/3/2019 9:46 pm : link
is involved, this team is completely different.

They look really good tonight!!
Having a target forward makes our attack look night  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/3/2019 9:47 pm : link
and day.
Great minds Fatman  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/3/2019 9:47 pm : link

Opponents will have a hard time

He makes such a big difference
This game is going to be tight now Fuck what an unlucky break  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/3/2019 9:54 pm : link
I was thinking 5 goals tonight.
How long..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/3/2019 9:57 pm : link
do they think the delay will last?

okay thanks, I got the woman's game on my digital antenna.
Is there any updates....went to bar for a bit trying to get back home  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/3/2019 10:28 pm : link
In time for resume.
Last I saw was 11:20p as tentative  
slickwilly : 7/3/2019 10:54 pm : link
time to resume match.
US looked almost cohesive  
ColHowPepper : 7/3/2019 11:04 pm : link
no one really ready for Pulisic's service, Jozy could have wanded it in
with his member, but the whole is so helter skelter, I guess it's Jamaica, I don't know what to make of that part of H1 they played.

Even Ream has looked poised but to be fair, on balance the US back line was not pressured. That's my marker for this team. I've seen Jamaica look much better.
Lol this game is going to be drink if they go back in,  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/3/2019 11:19 pm : link
Is this heat lightning they are talking about. Seems like it.
Jamaica looks like they want to slow this game down.  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/3/2019 11:23 pm : link
They know they don't have answers on d without Lowe.
I'm lukewarm..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/3/2019 11:27 pm : link
about VAR, but CONCACAF has to get their heads out of their asses and adopt systems these teams will see in International tournaments.

But then again, in qualifying, we'll have to play on abominations of pitches.
Very good..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/3/2019 11:27 pm : link
save by Steffen, and that delay fucking sucked.
Altidore tracking back! Man maybe Greg is a genius  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/3/2019 11:27 pm : link
guy is motivated.
We are going to have to learn how to deal with a press.  
Zeke's Alibi : 7/3/2019 11:37 pm : link
This team under Greg also looks like garbage countering, which is strange since that used to be a major strength of ours for years.
And the secondary..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/3/2019 11:39 pm : link
players are going to have to learn how to finish.

We had a couple prime opportunities to go up 2-0, but a glancing header wasn't placed properly and we showed little poise in the box and didn't attack the goal.

Allowing teams to hang around will cost us some games. We aren't good enough on D to do it consistently
Pulisic..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/3/2019 11:41 pm : link
is so damn creative and explosive.
I also..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/3/2019 11:43 pm : link
really like McKinney's football IQ.

I wonder if Pulisic ever goes into the locker room and think, "Shit, I wonder if the Croation guys could finish half my chances."
Croatia..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/3/2019 11:53 pm : link
isn't a fluke. They are a top team in the world. Pulisic has a chance of being our greatest player ever, so that's one of the reasons I want to see this shitshow cleaned up.

I'm becoming increasing confident that the answer doesn't lie in the direction they are going, and while marginally better than Klinsmann's madness, I still think Gulati had more of a hand in the program's nosedive than anyone else.
Think about the..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/3/2019 11:56 pm : link
embarrassment of riches Pulisic would have with Croatis.

Modric, Rakitic, Kovacic, Mandzukic, Peresic, Rebic.

On our team it is - Altidore. and........
Sunil was in the right place at the right time politically,  
Del Shofner : 7/3/2019 11:57 pm : link
but at the end of the day do you want a Columbia economics professor running the US soccer federation? Sunil is super smart but soccer-wise he was an amateur in many respects.
He graduated..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 7/4/2019 12:00 am : link
from Bucknell and even I can't stand the role he played. He fancied himself as Ahab landing the big whale in Klinsmann and it was such a terrible move.
To be fair - and I don’t love what GB is doing  
bhill410 : 7/4/2019 12:03 am : link
50% of the US best talent isn’t playing in form of Adams, Brooks and Yedlin. Also reality is some Sargent and some
Of the under 20 guys are better than the cast of a holes from mls that gb is so in love with. If I never see roldan again I won’t lose any sleep.
