Guzans indecisiveness ruins him again. He sux.
And wtf is wondo going to add to this???
Maybe Pulisic or Zardes start up top in the consolation game

Howard lost his job after sitting out a year for the USMNT, and a bad year at Everton.
Guzan was good the past couple of games but his positioning always sucks IMO
He's always struck me as a fine ball stopper, and not so good elsewhere. That goal was grade school bad.
OMG that sequence. A promising break turns into an underhit back pass and a Messi break that would have been a goal if he squared it
He looks so serious every time he steps up to the ball and he then calmly places it about five yards away from where it should be.
We just look so incredibly slow. Everyone is outpaced, nobody on Argentina are worried about being beaten for pace. Theoretically, Yedlin would scare them but good luck getting him forward anyway. Beckerman, Bradley, Zusi just can't keep up.
Nobody is a bigger Howard fanboy than me, I'm an Everton fan because of him, but he was bad this year.
Guzan got demoted though, so there's that.
Yup. Not showing full commitment to the NT will get you benched going forward. Unless you are Timmy Chandler.
Yep, going to be impossible to string anything together when the ball inevitably has to go through these guys.
He probably shouldn't have had the ball passed to him since he was well covered, but didn't do much when he got it.
We are going to have a lot of players look bad today
Besler for Beckerman with Fabian up to LM and pulisic for Wondo with zardes to the top and pulisic to RM
That's what happens when you start players in their 30s. I think JK likes older players cause they are just grateful he lets then play.
It's Argentina. No matter what happens the rest of this game, even if we somehow pull it out, we will look outclassed, slower, lesser skilled.
Argentina has possessed the ball more on this possession than the US has possessed the ball for the entire game
I feel like the Wondo selection is a weird fuck you to MLS by Jurgen. Like... look at this incompetent fuck he's one of your league's best scorers.
Yes, of course. But you probably need to play people who can at least cope with the pace of the match even if less skilled.
From our perspective, the one consolation is that I've watched a full season of Otamendi and I know he hasa crazy mistake in him. A cagey vet like Dempsey can certainly do him.
