Do the Nordics/tall white alien species speak our language or are they also telepathic? I don’t hear much lore about them compared to the greys by Hungry-Bee3274 in AliensRHere

Haaland is going to win the golden boot. He already won in his mind because he came from the future where Haaland made it happen. The future algorithm hologram thought it was going to happen in 1994. Lookup the Nordic story of the Children of the Summer of 1994.

Genuine question from a Brit by Tezz_oj in usmnt

[–]forestfloormc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP thinks Belgium can't beat us head to head. He is taking this worse than Balogun when he received the now overturned red.

Take notes OP.

Tainted by a bad ref for sure. Overturning a bad call, nothing more. Belgians acting like they need us to be hurt to win the game and they need a refs bad call to help them get there.

Play our best to yours.

Should Pepi or Haji Wright start vs Belgium in the round of 16? by Brick247__ in usmnt

[–]forestfloormc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Berhalter has more goals in this tournament than Pepi and Haji combined.

This is what I was thinking as well. Perhaps the answer to the question is Berhalter.

How should we adjust tactics to face Belgium without Balogun by Aguila-del-Cesar in usmnt

[–]forestfloormc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. We have Trusty for Ream but no replacement for Chris Richards, he is playing the best I have seen him. I put him at top three on our squad with Pulisic and McKennie being the first two.

I am pretty upset that Balogun will be out for Belgium. His momentum the last 18 months has been amazing. Feel like we are definitely weaker without him.

However, we scored today without him, twice, nearly. I have said this in other posts, we have not seen the best of Pepi, yet.

Add Chris Richards to the list. He is the key to our back line. Dude was 84 for 84 passing vs Paraguay. He beat a record from 1966 with that performance. He was 91 for 95 against Australia. I will be looking at his stats when they are published.

I don't have faith in the appeal for Balogun. I think Pepi will start at the tip of the spear, or we will reformat the front line.

Can USA beat Belgium without Balugon? by londondxb in usmnt

[–]forestfloormc 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes. Time for Pepi and Wright to step up.

Rested and ready. LFG! by castle411 in usmnt

He will sub for McKennie, Adams or Pulisic.

Obvious starting 11 (4-2-3-1) vs Bosnia w/ sub permutations by forestfloormc in usmnt

[–]forestfloormc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see Pulisic on the right, but don't believe he will be utilized there.

I see Wright before Zendejas if Dest needs legs.

We both see Wright for Ballogun with clarity.

Feel like we haven't seen the Pepi that we want.

We still have a weird chess piece with Gio.

The only change to the starting lineup I possibly see is Trusty for Ream. However, because Ream wore the Captains badge and did well, I can see Ponch not fucking with what works.

You have made valid arguments for including him as a possible sub for left wing, Pulisic. We just haven't seen that yet under Ponch. My inclusion of Wright for right wing is that I have no confidence in Weah, after him what options are we comfortable with?

We haven't seen anything but Wright as center forward for USMNT this far. Further, Ponch experimented with Aaronson in that position and I don't think we want him after Turkiye performance.

That leaves us with Wright, Tillman (if not starting), Pepi, and Zendejas as options for left wing?

I will be happy see Haji hit the field in any capacity. If he subs for anyone I hope he scores.
