USMNT: Hold My Beer

[cromulence]

What a fucking performance. Wow.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Woooooooook

 

[koufax32]

DOS A CERO

 

[EvilEmpire]

This is so awesome.

 

[Titans Bastard]

This 2-0 scoreline has been coming all game. So great to see this team put in a performance like this.

 

[koufax32]

Fucking right

 

[luckiestman]

How is there such a pro US crowd? It’s nice

 

[Average Reds]

Just need to protect against injuries now.

Great second half.

 

[Catcher Block]

Holy shit was Sideshow Bob out of position on that replay.

 

[DJnVa]

Hey Mexico!!

 

[coremiller]

Love the dos a cero chant from the crowd.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

I think I hear a "Dos a cero!" chant.

 

[dirtynine]

THIS IS DELICIOUS

 

[Jimy Hendrix]

Ferreira has been fucking slick since he came on too. Doesn’t have the gravity Pepi does, but loves to combine.

 

[JayMags71]

PANTS OFF

 

[DJnVa]

Weah's body looks like it's 90% legs.

 

[McBride11]

Pepi's drift backwards toward the penalty spot opened up Pulisic's run. In addition to his own man, Pulisic's man took half a step toward Pepi too.

WM was right to hold the 18. Pepi needed to make a far post run.

Great tactics discussion.

Pepi didn't seem to be drifting too much, but could have missed. Agree overall that he had gravity on the defender.
I would argue that Pepi should have made more effort back to the 18 and then Mckennie looping back into the space CP left often making the near post run.

If it clears CP I didn't see a back post run,

 

[cromulence]

Weah MOTM for me. But there's a lot. Zimmerman, McKennie, and Steffen all great.

 

[JayMags71]

Weah's body looks like it's 90% legs.

Weight or Height? Both?

 

[cromulence]

Such a dive.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Weah has been so good. He was kind of the forgotten man. The quality up and down the roster is stunning compared to last cycle and we haven’t come close to seeing everyone healthy yet.

 

[DJnVa]

Stop being dumb boys.

 

[Catcher Block]

Oh for fucks sake. Two of you both bit on the same fake at midfield.

 

[luckiestman]

lol ref

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Ugh, now Robinson off, and out for the next game as well.

 

[JCizzle]

I mean this ref is something else

 

[Average Reds]

This fuckin’ ref …

 

[McBride11]

Uhhh what? Guy threw his leg in front of Robinson and fell down

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

Stupid, stupid, stupid play by Robinson already on a yellow.

 

[tmracht]

Oh Miles. Terrible.

 

[McBride11]

Weah MOTM for me. But there's a lot. Zimmerman, McKennie, and Steffen all great.

Weah has been awesome on the right and @DJnVa is right, he is all legs. Crazy legs

 

[DJnVa]

Weah is the MOTM.

 

[JCizzle]

I trust everyone mad at Robinson knows more than I do. Is it simply pressing too closely? The Mexican player clearly threw his leg out.

 

[Arroyo Con Frijoles]

Very silly by Robinson given the situation, but that exact play (super light contact but a hand on the shoulder) was not whistled in front of Mexico's box in the first half.

 

[IdiotKicker]

I said it earlier in the night, but Weah gives this team a presence they have never had before if he shows up like this on a regular basis. Fantastic game from him all night. Zimmerman has been great as well, and Musah is on the verge of breaking out. And Antonee Robinson is still my boy. Rough first 20-25 mins overall, but they have dominated the last 70 mins.

 

[DJnVa]

I trust everyone mad at Robinson knows more than I do. Is it simply pressing too closely? The Mexican player clearly threw his leg out.

Tough call, but know the game situation.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

That would have been sweet even if it messed up the Dos a Cero.

 

[DJnVa]

Glad that shot missed. Keep it dos a cero.

 

[OCST]

Fantastic.

 

[teddykgb]

Lozano is fucking terrifying

 

[DJnVa]

Top of table.

Not take care of business next week.

 

[tmracht]

I trust everyone mad at Robinson knows more than I do. Is it simply pressing too closely? The Mexican player clearly threw his leg out.

Just an unnecessary foul. You're up two nothing and you're on a yellow. Just have to play the game situation better when you're a starting CB and away game at Jamaica on deck without McKennie.

 

[Titans Bastard]

When have you ever seen the USMNT take it to Mexico like that?

 

[Warning Track Speed]

Outstanding effort, great result. This was a real treat to watch.

 

[tmracht]

Outstanding effort, great result. This was a real treat to watch.

Absolutely was.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

When have you ever seen the USMNT take it to Mexico like that?

That's the best part. This was no smash and grab, they dominated that half.

 

[Jimy Hendrix]

When have you ever seen the USMNT take it to Mexico like that?

Goofy roster bullshit or not, Berhalter just got a deeply generous line of credit with me.

 

[Joe D Reid]

DOS A CERO ESTOY BORRACHITO

 

[McBride11]

Tough call, but know the game situation.

As a defender I will disagree. He was wide of the player, usual fighting, he didn't make an active move for the legs. Guy tripped himself. It was a cynical yellow. Legs get tangled should be a foul but not a yellow.

Overall, these kids continue to gel and it is great. STarted slow but, what like the last 65 -70 min it was all US. Great control of Mexico, this isn;t playing T&T where that should be expected

 

[The Napkin]

I turned it on about 2 minutes before the first goal. You're welcome.
