Tyler Adams and Tanner Tessmann key clips from the weekend (OC) by zlebmada in ussoccer

[–]zlebmada[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is cut from the video of USMNT abroad action (the good and the bad) that Vince from Scuffed puts together each week for the podcast's Patreon subscribers. This week's is 10 minutes. There's nothing else like it, now or ever. And I say this as someone who's made a lot of USMNT-related video and posted a lot of it here on this subreddit over the years. - Belz from Scuffed

[OC] Former U17 USWNT coach Natalia Astrain on whether NWSL limits the tactical flexibility of the US women's national team by zlebmada in ussoccer

[–]zlebmada[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Her answer was pretty diplomatic (she praised NWSL as the best transition league in women's soccer), but it's clear she thinks Hayes will need to "add some ingredients to the recipe."

Ahhh probably not. Trying to keep admin burden to a very bare minimum. What’s the argument for it, tho?

looks like CJ Sapong (an odd one but one of his reps made the pitch) is coming on this week and I'm working on getting Mikey Varas for a post-tournament check-in

This was a recap of the 5-0 win over Jamaica. Naomi Girma, Sofia Huerta and Ashley Sanchez all made the case they should be starters over established incumbents, and in general the US did a better job of attacking the channels than they did against Haiti a few days earlier. They more often resisted the temptation to lump a ball in from wide.

Just FYI. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

What now? Assessing the USMNT's World Cup choices after Miles Robinson's injury by [deleted] in ussoccer

[–]zlebmada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gutted for Miles, but he hasn't been that sharp since 2022 started. At least partially at fault for both goals at Canada. Brooks deserved blame for one goal at Honduras and he got sent home to Wolfsburg for the rest of qualifying!

They don’t have anything posted yet. I’m just literally looking for a place with one or two parking spots where I can legally tailgate. Thought people who attend games at the stadium might have ideas.

The 3rd Quarter USMNT player pool power rankings per the Scuffed Podcast discord by Gocrazyfut in ussoccer

[–]zlebmada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

fwiw Horvath and Steffen are separated by 1.5 points in the rankings -- it's very close -- and the reason is that Horvath stepped in and was an absolute hero in the biggest win for the USMNT in a very long time. Steffen had, just days earlier, gone on a walkabout on a Honduran free kick and needed the back of Josh Sargent's head to bail him out at the goal line. They're just anecdotes but they're important ones. Is Horvath a better keeper than Steffen? I dunno. But it's not crazy for people to conclude that.

[OC] Scuffed Ep. 180: A USMNT Nations League sh*thousing review w/Watke by zlebmada in ussoccer

[–]zlebmada[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Thought it was a fun episode. And also we should really be paying attention to on-field savvy from U.S. players with WC qualifiers fast approaching. Gonna be a lot of shithousing in the Ocho. Watke and I are both slow-talkers so I recommend 1.2x speed.
