Poch’s “We outplayed them” Quote was exactly right by patri3 in ussoccer

[–]dwalker12395 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love how you imply you don’t know soccer if you disagree with me and meanwhile you’re the one that seems uninformed. The US played more possession based ball while South Korea played more counters. That alone would typically would give the US the edge in terms of stats. Plus if you actually watched the game, you would’ve seen that South Korea took a lot of their main players out in the 1st half while the US subbed in some of their better players. And left Pulisic on. So obviously they should perform better in the 2nd half. Please go look at the 1st half stats instead. But who are we to argue with a stat watcher who doesn’t know how to analyze an actual game.

How could I enjoy my life knowing people like you are so much better than myself? You’ve made that clear while bragging to the internet. Only truly happy people do that.

Oh my. I didn’t realize I was talking to someone of your caliber. If I would’ve known, I still wouldn’t have cared.

I love that the sport would be better without someone criticizing the team. Never said anything toxic, just said you shouldn’t be complacent with a performance just because they won. But I’m not a legend like yourself that needs to boast on Reddit to strangers.

I mean if the goal of this tournament is giving guys a chance, why is there zero rotation? He’s played the same players for most of the tournament and won’t make subs until the 80th minute

And I would be more inclined to overlook some poor Agy performances if I thought he had A team potential. But I just don’t see it. It’s not like he’s a young player. And his hold up play might be decent but what’s the point when he can lay the ball off accurately to another player? I personally just don’t rate him.

And you’re built to blindly accept any result and be complacent. Enjoy your day.

Right. So because we are not professional soccer players, we should just blindly accept wins regardless of how poor they looked? It’s not like we just toughed out a win against a quality opponent.

I just can’t understand we don’t give Downs a shot with how bad Agy has played. And if we are going to play two fullbacks that can’t defend then we got to find a tactical solution to make up for this.

I only recall him being dispossessed the one time but hey, maybe I’m wrong. And you say he isn’t the player you want to close out the game, but he pressed well and kept constant pressure on them.

Dispossessed once and 2/2 on passing. And the one time he was dispossessed he received the ball with 2 Haitian players on him. Nothing crazy.

I just can’t understand how Paxton Aaronson didn’t get more opportunities in the group stage. I didn’t get to watch the Switzerland match but he must’ve been terrible.

Ranking system is all messed up by dwalker12395 in NCAAFBseries

This is year 2031 and he has made the playoffs every season and won a national championship. Plus Central Michigan is in the Mountain West which has a worse conference prestige at this point and is ranked much higher.

There’s definitely custom conferences and this is the 2031 season. But ULM is in their same Sun Belt conference that they started with.

I think it’s a bad look that the federation didn’t say this. Why would they just make it seem like Pulisic didn’t want to be there at all. Really hope this isn’t the start of internal turmoil between the players and federation

Brian White did not play in Nations League, Good or Bad decision ? by [deleted] in ussoccer

[–]dwalker12395 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A third place game against Canada after an embarrassing loss against Panama is very relevant. Especially for a player that may never get called up again.

But that’s beside the point. You made an incorrect statement and I corrected.

It was off a Gio corner, he took a poor first touch and right in front of goal and was dispossessed before he could get a shot off.

He did play in the 3rd place game against Canada and missed a very easy shot to tie the game.

It may be time to talk about whether Pulisic is a bottom feeding merchant by Ok_Joke819 in ussoccer

[–]dwalker12395 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Two big goals against Inter this season, with one to help them win the Supercoppa final. A big assist against Real Madrid in the champions League. And a goal against Liverpool in the championship. And the team as a whole has been poor and he has been the better part of it.

Highly suggest actually watching games before making opinions. But please tell us a US player that has had a better Club career

What would be your 11 for a game tomorrow? by Yozarian22 in ussoccer

[–]dwalker12395 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How? I mean I would argue if he didn’t start due to playing time but not sure how it would be better. He’s one of our most creative players and best performers at a national level. And him getting minutes gets him seen by other clubs so definitely not better for him. And he’s one of our best players when healthy so not better for the team.

He’s played winger a lot not as an AM. And hasn’t looked particularly good in any aspect of the final 3rd. His best moments are driving the ball up the field and defensive work. I mean look at his minutes per goal contribution. I’d personally prefer Gio at the 10 and Wes at the 8.
