    Yeah and upper 90 110 minutes in is pretty badass.  Definitely highlighted he had no space so for sure due to the attention he gets.

    Tim Ream starting at CB.  Yikes.  I understand resting Brooks but there just has to be a better option than Ream at this point.

    I don’t get the channel but this doesn’t seem like an ideal start

    Typical CONCACAF away game.  Shitty field, crazy crowd and suspect refereeing.

    Woof.  Just a sloppy ass game.  Tyler Adams is awesome.  Gotta take care of business against Canada on Sunday.

    This. We should have beat them but at least half the bracket also drew their games. Win the next 2 and it's not a big deal (which it isn't already).

    Stoked for Sunday.

    First time watching them in a long time. Pulisic is good. They are athletic. They have no idea how to score

    McKennie out again for tomorrow's game.  Not sure what covid protocol he violated but it sounds like it was pretty dumb.  Landon Donovan was really ripping into him.  They have to find a way to get 3 points tomorrow night.  

    With all the excitement about these talented young players they have, it's easy to forget that Berhalter is a garbage coach.

    Wild game last night.  First half was an embarrassment....no idea what Berhalter was thinking with that lineup and formation.  Not playing Adams in central midfield is a fireable offense.  And deciding to have 4 guys make their WCQ debut on the road in Honduras was an absurd decision.  Don't know much about this Sands guy, but hard to see how he can play at this level....guy looked completely lost out there.  

    Thankfully Berhalter realized how badly he messed up and had 3 subs at halftime.  And Ricardo Pepi is legit!  18 years old and he completely changed the game in the 2nd half.  Not bad for his 1st cap.  So huge to get 3 points.  Anything less than a win and Berhalter's job would have been in serious jeopardy.

    He got way to cute but thankfully understood his mistakes and corrected them at half time.

    Hate to overreact after 1 game but we may have finally found our #9 in Pepi

    Yeah just a bit.  Let's play our best central midfielder on the right side?!?!?  I've seen a lot of people giving him credit for making the halftime adjustments but these adjustments wouldn't have been needed if he didn't put that garbage lineup/formation out there in the 1st place.  I still have just about zero confidence in him.

    I thought the same thing about Pepi.  That would be incredible if he steps right in to the #9 spot.
