The first 45 last night was great to see. The second half was kind of a yawner, but it was already 4-0 and the most effective attackers were taken off at the half. I understand what TB is saying about the ELO, I just don't think Ghana are that bad. Qualifying for the WC out of that region isn't easy, and they played well in the tournament. It's a lopsided roster for sure, but they have enough in attack that you need to respect them.
Gio, Balo, Dest, and Pulisic were just devastating going forward. GGG is going to need to figure out what to do with Dest. He's so good going forward but such a liability defensively. He's far and away the most talented fullback that the US has. Maybe the reverse of what he tried to do with Cannon as a RB and keeping the LB out of the attack while giving more support to Dest from the CBs or a pivot? I get why teams prefer to attack with the LB and keep a RB more defensively positioned, but you can only cook with the ingredients you have. I like what Johnny brought to the table. He reads the opponents so well, and I liked how he moved the ball forward quickly after turning Ghana over. The anti-Lletget, if you will. I'm getting a little concerned about winger depth. Aaronson gets pushed around a lot and just doesn't seem to bring much to the table. He does hustle, but he's not improving like I hoped he would. I can see a world where he gets passed on the depth chart by Booth, if he hasn't already, Koleosho makes the switch to the USMNT, and Brenden is on the outside looking in come WC26.
Watching Gio at the 10 has been fun, and I'd like to see Malik Tillman get some run there when he's fully fit to see how he looks.
