Yup. If we aren't getting a strong performance from him in that department, there's no reason to start him over Cerrillo, who brings more defensively.Durkin's passes are just slow today for some reason.
It's like the grass is an inch taller for him than the other folks.
You never really know who is good at the U20s.Is this a game the US can get a good result? Exactly how much do you know about Nigeria's U20s????
No, I know. But from watching the first 11 minutes, it's safe to say that any result is possible today.You never really know who is good at the U20s.
Boomshakalaka.frantically trying to find a stream...
Especially after the yellow he gave de la Fuente earlier.Ref swallowing his whistle now. Easy yellow on a foul on Pomykal, but no card.
I think Weah was offside on the initial ball in.A US goal after a post-corner scramble is called off.
I don't really understand why but the US players are taking it well enough that there was probably a valid reason.
There are times when fouling someone in offside position overrules the offside. It happened in Tottenham game this year and they got PK. Not sure what the line is.WOW. PK is called off by VAR.
I think McKenzie got bailed out by a just-barely-offside call.
Weird lineup from Tab today.
Weah — Soto — de la Fuente
Servania — Mendez
Durkin
Gloster — Richards — Keita — McKenzie
Ochoa
It looks like Richards' injury wasn't serious, which is very good news.
There's some rotation:
- Ochoa in for Scott at GK
- McKenzie in for Dest at RB
- Servania in for Pomykal at CM
It's weird that a CB like McKenzie is in at RB instead of Julian Araujo, who is a natural RB.
I also wonder why Tab isn't making use of the comparatively abundant depth on the roster. Llanez is a good winger. Ledezma has a ton of quality in the center.
