Outcomes of individual soccer games can be influenced by all sorts of random stuff, so how a team looks is sometimes more interesting and informative than the result. Right now, the US is getting outplayed at home by a team mostly filled with third-rate Dutch players.
Nah I refuse to believe how a team looks in 90 mins matters when the previous 270 minutes have been good?
It's a data point to be contextualized among other data points. That means it's not everything and it's not meaningless either.
Nobody said this. As was pointed out, it’s not the score/outcome that is the problem. They were more or less dominated 2nd half by an inferior opponent. There would be no complaints if they carried play but were a little wasteful
Why did nobody get excited about the dominating wins then? "It's just weak competiton." So basically there's no acceptable outcome even when they win.
Welcome to the Gold Cup. Anything other than comfortable wins until at least the semis and no losses to anyone other than Mexico and it's a complete and total failure.
Because overreacting and evaluating on single games drives me up a wall in any sport.
Maybe you should consider you are overreacting and evaluating a little too heavily on the positive side based on the group stage games.
