That was fortuitous.  :)

That was horrific defense.  WTF?

Ream needs to come off. Hes having a howler

GB Warrior

This team must practice passing like Marquette practices free throws

MuggsyB

I'm not an expert but we look outclassed to this point.  Our defense is a disaster. 

Judge Smails

Fortunate to only be down 1-2. Got our butts kicked that half

MuggsyB

The only good news is somehow we're still in this game.  However, it looks like a waffle contest against 🇧🇪 which means an autoloss.  :(

Juan Anderson's Mixtape

Defense exposed in the first half.  These aren't the vintage CBs and GK of past USMNTs.

Belgium not bothered by our press.  Constantly generating chances.  Both of the goals were easy finishes.

US lacks precision in the final third.  Expect more long balls to Balogun running behind the defense. Had a couple chances doing that late in the half.

Tillman's free kick mastery continues.  Thank goodness.

Yes. No precision whatsoever with rudimentary passes at all.  Has our defense always been this erratic?  Very upsetting.

That was beyond embarrassing.  WTF?????

I've seen enough. Cancel the American Experiment

No idea what our goalie was thinking!!!  Ridiculous!!

I'm going to assume without looking that Ream is 40. Nothingburger from Pulisic tonight.

In reality this team hasn't improved at all in the last four years. Beating Paraguay, Australia and Bosnia, only to get trucked by a second tier European power is the same as it ever was.

at minimum a 5 point plan.

No idea. But I generally think we are f*cked due to the terrible state of youth sports in this country.

Im just here to watch whatever trump rampage will happen.

MuggsyB

Again, I don't know squat about soccer, but we seem to be light-years behind.  My brain tells me this should not be an elite rich kid sport based on the success of other countries.  But if I'm not mistaken, we have essentially had a stupid system that caters to a major $$$ commitment.  I've been thoroughly disappointed with this performance.

Our team was too diverse. We need to course correct

Juan Anderson's Mixtape

Typical USMNT.  Good enough to dominate teams of poor quality, not good enough to compete with a top 10 side.

Sunrise, sunset.
