Gregg vitriol not surprising in hereIn other news, the US just dominated Mexico in that half
On top of that, he’s at odds with (IMO) America’s best talent.
Mexico was awful.Mexican fans were worse.The ref was even worse than that.And yet what we'll remember from tonight is going back to Berhalter. Gross.They keep talking about how the USSF would've talked to Berhalter about Reyna, but watching how integral Gio was to that match, they sure as hell better have asked Reyna if he supported that hire, and if the answer is anything short of an enthusiastic, unequivocal yes, you don't even consider bringing him back.
Balogun doesn't like Gregg? Or pulisic?
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
Also, I wasn’t a Gio supporter for his crybaby antics during the WC. But boy, he looked gooooood tonight!
I love Weston
IMO based on current form I think Musah would be the odd man out, he had a pretty underwhelming season in Spain. Run a 4-2-3-1 with Adams and Mck as the double pivot. Reyna central with CP and Weah on the wings and Balogun up top. Musah and Aaronson first two subs in.
It's just so predictable. We're going to dominate CONCACAF for the next three years just because the level of competition is at the level where GGG can just roll the ball out there and out-talent them. We'll get our hopes up when we get out of our group, maybe even win a knockout game with the expanded format, but once we come across a good team, we'll just fold. GGG was completely outclassed by LVG last WC, and LVG is by no means a great coach.
Mexico is definitely down at the moment, but not so sure about the USA being the best in Concacaf. Canada may like a word there. They did after all finish first in WCQ. Drew a brutal group in the WC with 2 teams that finished in the top 4, the other team in the group was Belgium. They have the 2 best players in Concacaf at their respective positions, Davies and David. The US beating this version of el Tri isn't that big a deal. They've looked terrible since Cocca took over, couldn't even beat Jamaica at home which is why they drew the US in the semi. Cocca's style of play is all wrong for the way Mexico likes to play. I don't see him surviving the weekend if they lose to Panama. Prediction for Sunday, game ends in a 1-1 draw, USA wins in PKs.
I don't necessarily disagree, just don't think it's a sure thing the USA will dominate the next few years. These teams are not much different than the teams that played in WCQ and Canada was the best team in the region, during that cycle. Just saying don't count out Canada and I do think Mexico will improve too, probably not to a point where they will overtake the US and Canada, but they will be more competitive than last night's team.
