NFT: Colombia Embarrasses USMNT

Jeffrey : 6/8/2024 9:14 pm
No shame in losing to a team like Colombia, but to be beaten soundly and in the process to look like you do not belong on the same field is not excusable for a team with the talent that has been developed in the USMNT program.

Hard to find anyone who deserves high marks. Pulisic will be a marked man every time he appears in the shirt until the USMNT develops another scoring threat.

Game showed the value of Dest to this squad and how they lose much of the right side attack in his absence. Scally has improved but remains all defense and no threat going forward.

Showed that old reliable Tim Ream is now more old than reliable even though he remains invaluable when his legs can get him to the ball.

Still searching for the striker who can score consistently. Still searching for a top team that Berhalter can beat. Coach got renewed but the product on the field does not look much better.

Need Tyler Adams on the field—either in the midfield or at right back. Weah has also played right back as has Musah and while that is not the preferred position for any of them they each would present more of a threat than Scally.

Hopefully a better team shows up for Brazil. .
That was pretty bad.

If Colombia had their pick of our players, who would they take? Maybe nobody, maybe Pulisic, Weah and Cardoso, but that's about it. None of our defenders or defensive mids. They were terrible today.
I guess Cardoso is a defensive mid -

I think he's pretty good but he had a giveaway today too.
Welcome back Berhalter …

The team was better without him.

yeah, you lose 1-5 at home in a big TV game -

in the real soccer world, you get fired pretty quick.

How they re-hired him is a joke. How he even got the job originally is a joke. They're going to ruin the 2026 WC if they keep this guy. If they do bad at Copa they need to move on.
Against top level teams USMNT back 4 is exposed

Gave the ball away far too many times.
If teams press our back 4 look out

Yup. The mids who were supposed to link up with the back 4 didn't distinguish themselves, either.
Berhalter was a terrible choice to coach the team

USMNT has never solved the striker position
They lack creativity in the final third offensively
They missed Adams tonight defensively
I thought McKinnie was a no show tonight
Having said all that Columbia is a excellent team.
Colombia didn't embarrass us,

we embarrassed ourselves. The optimist in me thinks it'll be better for us to be humiliated than to suffer a close loss which the players could rationalize.
Well, at least there's cricket

Sounds like nothing has changed, 5 years and counting. Is Dest not fit?
