Ref stopping the game five seconds before full time, which I get situationally.

I spoke to soon regarding rage fouls, but appropriately punished.

Ref has gotten kinda trigger happy, but it does seem to have reduced the losing CONCACAF team rage fouls so fair play to him.

Honduran goalie is an adventure.

Honduras actually showed up for the second half so the US doesn’t look quite as impressive. Still looking pretty good though and the presence of Honduras attacking moves should open up even more transition.

71% possession and most of it dangerous, damn.

This is still true at 3 - 0, US could have 6 based on the play.

We look utterly irritating to try and play through in the press. Honduras can’t deal with it at all unless we cough it up in midfield and even then, barely.

Caden Clark’s a bit off so far, but we’re dominant and looking slick so not too fussed about it.

I’m a Bergwjin non-believer at this point. He’ll put numbers up at Ajax, but so does Dusan Tadic. The January window reminded me that sometimes transfers come in and are good. You don’t need to always watch them flounder for two years while making excuses like Bart and Homer chasing their roast...

One of my favorite types of player to watch is the high-skills creative guy who also kinda looks like a meatball. Shaqiri, Dimitri Payet, that kinda guy. Luna's definitely in that mold.

The only Pepi-like striker who's any good in this age group unfortunately is Pepi, and his blowing past this team is great for the US program overall but is tough for this specific U20 team. I think Cade + Cuevas on the left side was kinda rough, both good players but on the left both want to...

Canadian kids wasting time like seasoned CONCACAF vets also.

Exciting race of whether the US can score another banger before conceding another soft goal.

Surprised there’s VAR. Hopefully it does something with this weird call. Penalty it is! Not a foul on you to have your damn clock cleaned out.
