    3 goals in 2 USMNT games for Pepi....not a bad start to his career!  Looks like we finally have a legit 9.

    Didn't get to watch much of the game yesterday since it was right in the middle of the Bears game and then a white sox playoff game but sounds like it was pretty bad.  The starting lineup looked like an absolute joke.  I know you gotta rotate with these 3 game in 7 days international windows but Berhalter rotated 8 guys out from the last game???  Not good.  Huge game Wednesday against Costa Rica.

    It turns out that playing your best players is a good strategy.  That Musah, McKennie and Adams midfield should be the midfield group for a very long time.  That goal by Dest was world class.  They're in a good spot but I still have zero confidence in Berhalter.  Even with last night's lineup the only reason Weah was in there was because Arriola got hurt in warmups.

    Can't wait!  Going to be a tough one with no Reyna/Dest and Pulisic not able to start yet.

    What a joke.  Besides actual WC games, this is the biggest game the US plays every 4 years.  No pregame, no buildup at all.  Cut right in and go to kickoff.  ESPN sucks.

    And yeah, this crowd is electric!!  LFG!

    They may not win this game, but this team is very very good at soccer. This is the most athletic and technical team I have ever seen. Hot take probably. 

    The Dempsey-Donovan-Bradley teams had players but nothing like the athletic ability on the team now. Long ways to go, but its a faster game
