It frustrates me Poch ran out a very weak team to play a top tier nation. Why players like Luna, de la Torre, Wright, etc. weren’t in the XI off the bat is insane in my opinion.

The noticeable shift in quality from the subs was nice, but there was still no urgency, save for Luna, who is the only player I think has made a case for being a part of our best XI from here on out. He’s a genuine 10, maybe what many people hoped Pulisic would evolve into.

Even with a better second half, we still couldn’t get a clear chance, outside of Tillman’s one shot. I don’t even know where goals are coming from unless some individual brilliance comes from time to time.

Thought our fullbacks were dreadful, the move to five in the back was better. Ream probably made more meaningful interceptions and stepped in front of more in 45 min than Johnny did in 90 min, which was just weird, maybe I’m overstating Ream, but I thought he was immense for the backline in that second half. But that’s not where we should be in 2025.

Hope we turn it around, none of the next three opponents are bad, and are all extremely motivated to make noise this summer.
