It's embarrassing to be down 1-0 with how far back they are playing on defense. I get we need to rotate guys and get different looks still but I'd like to try and win games. Roldan, Freeman and Sands all in the "midfield" is some C team shit.

And it's making Pulisic overwork now because no one else can fucking do anything to get the ball moving forward.

Although staying down there was almost assuredly strategic.

They call our midfield “The C-Suite”.

Sands playing the ball back when Weah wanted to play a give-and-go was not ideal.

EDIT: Roldan is dangerous tonight. (For BOTH teams!)

You were saying?

Meh. Shit like that is worse for me than almost anything college refs mess up. It's risking player safety in a meaningless game.

Haji booking his spot on the team. That was beee-u-tee-ful!

The director in the truck didn’t want to show the fast break, but finally decided to show the action.

Haji has a lightning’s quick right-footed toe-poke and a beautiful curler with the left. 

The color guy is singing Roldan’s praises and seems to have completely forgotten his getting mowed down for the Aussie goal.

His gather/first touch was equally as impressive as the strike. World class goal there.

Meh. He's made up for it on the score sheet now. 

Also he wasn't the only guy that fucked up on that play. He got put in a bad position and made a bad play.

That was Aaronson right? That's funny. I was just talking to myself about how I'm not sure what happened to him. He was such an electric prospect.

Luna has to finish that. But he's a good finisher overall.

Aaronson just seemed to stop all development about 3 years ago.  Thought he had a shot to be a near starter level contributor, but at this point he isn’t making the WC roster barring a bunch of injuries

Balogun looked to pull out the defenders so that Luna could hit is wide. FUCK!

Aaronson’s nutmeg assist attempt to Luna was absolutely beautiful. If Luna had just chipped the keeper!!

Dude he had a shot to be one of our best players.

I never saw that in him, he was always behind MMA and now he’s been passed by a bunch of guys.

Even Aaronson looked good today. Not just some little brother running around like a chicken with his head cut off.

In general, everyone looked pretty good.

What? He's a winger. He was arguably the best player on the team for a window or two a few years ago. Maybe you were never as high on him as everyone else was in which case you were right. I feel like you're forgetting how bright he flashed, though.

BA is more of an attacking mid than a winger, imo.   I always liked him and thought he’d keep improving he just hasn’t. 
 

As for these last 2 matches, when is the last time the USMNT looked that good going forward and got that kind of production for their 9?   It’s been awhile.

Dude. Just stop. First you said you thought that he "had a shot" to be a fringe starter. Then you said you didn't see him over any of MMA.

I'm curious which of Musah or Adams you think is an attacking midfielder for the United States? McKennie couldn't buy that position with us if he tried and he probably plays it sometime for club.

Well, he isn’t a winger and if he was he’d never start over Pulisic or Weah.  If we were playing a 433, where do you think he plays.  Hint it isn’t the front 3, thus MMA.
