  1. The list of Americans I'd want on the team begins and ends with either Pulisic, Gio, or McKinnie. Do think the board is a bit harsh on McKinnie.
  2. Could see it from day one, and I'm a stupid American who calls it soccer. Sometimes, and it's something that happens in a lot of different sports, great players make awful coaches/managers. They just expect everyone to be like them and act accordingly. To be fair, he knew what he had in Kamara, but his insistence on McGinn over Luiz was just an outright mistake and valuing work rate over quality, I guess.
  3. He was arrested by the Qatar police for wearing a Pride shirt to one of the matches. 2 weeks later, a healthy man drops dead? Do not buy it at all.
  4. To be fair, their best sub won't get used because Berhalter seems to not want to play Reyna. They have a few more options, but Gregg goes to his MLS guys too often. A lot of people in the states believe that the US only becomes a power in football if they win with MLS players. It's insane thinking.
  5. It's just more of the same, Bob Bradley plucky MLS tactics, while USMNT has legitimate top of Euro Competition talent on its roster for the first time ever. Feels stifled by Berhalter.
  6. The sad thing is that USSF is probably going to consider this a success now, while the Dutch stomp them out of the World Cup. Greggggg is a terrible coach and won't lead the US to anything more than what the US has already achieved.
  7. Still don't see it in his legs. But the fight looks back, so that's positive.
  8. Hard to say how fit Bailey is right now. Archer may be the move, then if he's fit enough, Ings for Bailey later.
  9. Add me to the group who doesn't get the McGinn slander today. He's not world class, but he's played well going forward. Not the best tracking back, but we all sort of see his legs are gone, it seems.
  10. Digne is showing pure class today. Has Marsh in his pocket. Need a different tactic to play out of the back today. Need to find more space for Emi, he's a chance creation machine
  11. Emi was inhibited by the ghost of Robin Olsen for some reason?!
  12. That would be a ridiculous price for a footballer of Kessie's quality. Kessie and Kamara would be a tremendous duo. You could play those two with Luiz, no problem, and it'd be a tremendous midfield.
  13. I understand giving everyone a chance to prove themselves under a new manager. That said, Olsen, Chambers and McGinn need to be on the bomb squad.
  14. Fine with it. Muck it up a bit, see if you come through with not your best team. We are sufficiently frustrating ManU. Need a few good attacks, never know what happens.
  15. Almost as if the French International is really good when not being managed by incompetence.
  16. Leon Bailey's transformation since the departure of Gerrard has been nothing short of magical.
  17. Commentary team openly cheering for Newcastle. Disgusting.
  18. Not tactically inept, thus the team is better.
  19. Sick of hearing about risk. All managers are going to carry with it a bit of risk. Just find the right one.
  20. I appreciate that all of his strikes are thunderous. And that's fun.
  21. It was clear, especially when Cou came on, that this team performs at a different level on the pitch when it is in a wider 433 without McGinn. Everyone fits so much better and it feels more seamless than it has looked since the beginning of the year. Also helps when we aren't asking the fullbacks to also be second strikers.
  22. A textbook example of why McGinn should be glued to the bench.
