Would like to see Aaronson over Weah on Tuesday I must say I love Tim Weah (he and Musah might be.my favorite players right now). I like Aaronson too but to me hes a try-hard kind of guy, whereas Weah has that undefinable Dempsey-like quality where he's capable of something magical. However, you might be right vs. Iran since Aaronson has come off the bench so far. His energy might help us push Iran where theres no where they're as deep as us. Maybe test their legs a little. I would really, really like to see Reyna get the start va. Iran. Hes probably our most creative midfielder and thats pretty much where we're suffering the most.

I don't even know what this means. You're just speaking in vague terms. I don't recall anything in particular where he made a mistake today due to playing "sped up".

Actually, I thought our midfield was strong today and outplayed the English midfield. Are you absolutely positive you didn't accidentally watch a replay of the Wales game instead?

November 25, 20223 yr Overall a nice effort. A draw was a fair result but overall the US was the more dangerous side. We’ve got a talented young team and better ball skills than ever before. Everything points to 2026.

Credit where it's due, not entirely an issue with what we did wrong, but sometimes what they did right too. I do agree that Wright was completely wasted today, there's definitely a lot of decisions that Berhalter gets wrong, and that was yet another example.

I don't recall anything in particular where he made a mistake today due to playing "sped up". Almost every pass into the box has been a total waste from him. Corners straight to defenders and nowhere near his teammates, Im not sure hes had a single good cross in two games. In both games, hes settled in. But we really need him to be relaxed and in control but hes not. In his defense, I think Gregg has a lot to do with it. He has no idea what to do with world class players.

We definitely watched different games.

I agree especially vs Wales, his set piece crosses were just terrible. He was a bit better today with a good corner that Harry was able to deflect or a goal, but not the level the US needs him to be. Gregg sucks just sucks as a manager

I watch every single Chelsea game. He simply is not good at crossing the ball. However, yesterday was one of his best efforts with crosses that he has had in some time. Not great but three or four of his corners came in hot and troubled Pickford. He played well yesterday with constant movement and penetrating runs. He was poor in the Wales game but not so yesterday.
November 29, 20223 yr Looks like Gakpo is the kid that shows out this WC. Ten Hag wanted him for Man Utd over the summer but got Anthoy first. Wouldn't be surprised to see them make a run at him.
November 29, 20223 yr I'm glad they've gone to 5 subs. Now all they have to do is eliminate the concept of a game ending in a draw, and then it truly will be the greatest game ever.
