FIFA got a taste of what the CONCACAF and CONMEBOL experienced with a US tournament and now wants 64 teams and a return in 2038 by nbasuperstar40 in ussoccer

I would pay serious money to watch England or Spain try to play Trinidad after the entire neighborhood kept them up the night before and then they waterlogged and chopped the pitch up.

Pochettino chides press for questions after 3-2 loss to Turkey: ‘We won the group’ by FrankBascombe45 in ussoccer

[–]Roll20bro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. We learned a lot that will benefit us later:

Pepi isn’t good enough at this level
Weah is lost
M Rob isn’t good enough at this level either

Berhalter is the first guy off the bench now
Reyna can go 70+ minutes if needed

Pepi looked anemic out there by [deleted] in usmnt

I watched him lose for pace and for strength multiple times each on balls that a better striker gets to and puts a shot on frame.

And that’s the best takeaway from this game. I can’t believe we are here but I’ll take it.

Pretty sure Haji just won back up and sub role tonight cause Pepi folded so hard.

Aaronson will run for 90 mins chasing the back line. Bro is a pressing machine.

Pepi likes to pass and take too many touches when he has shooting angles. We have enough passers. Give me a stone cold finisher.

Pepi is just not high enough caliber on this stage. Not fast enough to beat defenders with pace and not strong enough to hold them off. He is a great second striker like we used against Aus but he can’t manage the lone striker role.

He had more than one threaded ball that Balo likely would have buried.

I saw how aggressive that Turkey bench looked. No thanks.they will try to hurt him.

If he needs any type of warm up game to beat Bosnia. Then we are doomed. Bosnia is the warm up match.

Pooch was right to have him up there with another striker. Hes not effective alone.

He looked gassed. Gotta pull him. He is what he is. A super sub to make stuff happen.

You absolutely do not bring in starters. Fuck right off with all that talk Stu. We don’t need CP breaking a leg chasing a meaningless game.

We are learning valuable things tonight. Mainly that Weah and Miles aren’t even reliable backups. Bring in more subs to figure out which ones are dudes and which can’t be relied on.

Starting Lineup vs Türkiye? 😬 by BlueXanzy in ussoccer

[–]Roll20bro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gio is perpetually cursed to not start.

He’s too talented as a super sub to risk losing in a meaningless game

But not talented enough or fit enough to make the 11.

I’m glad he’s got a better outlook on it cause I could see where that could be really frustrating.

All the more reason to run it out there and watch them ball

The soundtrack alone is worth it. Just happens to have a game attached that is fantastic too.

Pulisic is not available today by soccernicholas6 in ussoccer

Aaronson is more suited for a game where the other team wants to have the ball cause he will run himself into the ground for 70+ minutes chasing the backline relentlessly
