USMNT: Hold My Beer

[Jed Zeppelin]

All that possession, winning balls in the midfield all day, but no plan to speak of in the final third. One chance and that on a dead ball.

I guess it is a step up from chasing long balls all day but it’s not good enough against good competition to hope for broken plays that will actually land the ball at someone’s feet in the box.

 

[Jimy Hendrix]

We’re capable of some very nice approach play but the composure seems to stop when we get to the penalty box.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Wish Jozy was in this generation. Need a wrecking ball like him with gravity to occupy defenders and clear space for the little guys. And someone who can play with his back to the goal.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Is this guy a rugby ref, or what?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

It’ll never be his calling card of course but it’s kind of magical watching Dest dispossess someone with the same panache he shows with the ball at his feet.

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

It's time for some subs.

 

[Pesky Pole]

Is anyone else having buffering issues with Paramount+? I pay for this stupid thing and I’m considering switching to Telemundo.

Stream not stopping for me, but quality does degrade sometimes and I’m on gigabit so it’s not connection speed.

Nope. Working perfect.

I've had it freeze for a couple seconds a couple of times, but it's been fine so far in the second half.

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

Is Gregg saving his subs for next game?

 

[Jimy Hendrix]

Feel like the long throws are leading to better Canada chances than US chances.

Yes, and I've made the switch to Telemundo.

 

[McBride11]

Couple of buffering moments on P+ but otherwise fine.
Google fiber 1gb, tho pings at like 250

 

[ragnarok725]

Jesus with the goal kicks today.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

How did we not score???????

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Turner looking shaky with the rebound but bails himself out.

 

[ragnarok725]

Really hope it's not Turner for game 3. He's been bad.

 

[Jimy Hendrix]

Pepi is making the Zardes start look pretty silly.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Some truly American crosses in the last few minutes.

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

Pulisic is a shit show. Has Morris streaking down the side and instead pulls up and kicks it back.

 

[cromulence]

Been on a plane since before kickoff. Fuck. Guess I'm glad I missed this.

 

[speedracer]

Pulisic is a shit show. Has Morris streaking down the side and instead pulls up and kicks it back.

was about to post this, morris had acres of space and pulisic didn’t even pick up his head

 

[SocrManiac]

Turner looking shaky with the rebound but bails himself out.

What do you expect out of an Arsenal backup?

That’s an Arsenal dig, guys- not Turner or US Soccer.

 

[JOBU]

Well maybe they’ll get 3 points in sub zero temps against Honduras

 

[Pesky Pole]

Pulisic in really bad form, Aaronson hasn’t played a competitive game since Dec 11th, and Zardes is in his offseason. Those were our three starters up front.

 

[ragnarok725]

Dropping the points sucks. Dropping the points with multiple injuries sucks worse.

 

[OCST]

Ooohhhhhh

 

[JOBU]

Fuck

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Oh, I thought that one was on target.

 

[Catcher Block]

My goodness. That's the buildup they've needed all game. Was sure that was in.

 

[OCST]

Really hope it's not Turner for game 3. He's been bad.

Wouldn't be surprised if he cracked a rib or two when he took a blast into the gut from three yards out. That ball must be hard as a rock on a day like this.

 

[rguilmar]

I would’ve gladly eaten every word of Arriola criticism I’ve spewed if that went in.

 

[Kliq]

I hate to say it but Tajon has tremendous potential as a CONCACAF villain.

 

[OCST]

This side should play better than this

 

[OCST]

I hate to say it but Tajon has tremendous potential as a CONCACAF villain.

why hate to say it? I'm enjoying the emergence of another regional power, even if it makes our path harder. We need to elevate our game and frankly we're not up to it today.

 

[OCST]

On frame but nothing on it.

 

[Jimy Hendrix]

Canada always have a smart gameplan, I think Herdman might be the best manager in CONCACAF which is weird to say with Tata around.

 

[OCST]

Lots of huffing and puffing, nothing that really scares me if I'm Canada.

 

[OCST]

......and there it is.

No more than Canada deserve.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Fuuuuuuuuuck

 

[Catcher Block]

The urgency turned into panic. Fuck.

 

[JOBU]

Embarrassing effort all around

 

[ThePrideofShiner]

What a fucking disaster.

 

[OCST]

Second best today.

 

[johnmd20]

GJGE.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Clap clap clap !

 

[OCST]

Not sure what you were doing out there today, Greggggggggggggg

 

[Titans Bastard]

Damn it. I don't think we were even all that bad, which makes getting nothing out of this game particularly frustrating.

 

[Silverdude2167]

Second best today.

Happens when you give up the early goal....Canada is a team that is more than the sum of its parts and the US is less...

Will be interesting to see how Canada plays from behind in the future...have not done much of it during qualifying.
