September 29, 20223 yr Understood, just a summary of how fucked our roster was for these tune-ups compared to where we were a year ago. I assume that Weah, Musah and Richards will also be back.

Musah - injured McKennie - poor form Pulisic - poor form/not starting for club Pepi - horrible form/not starting for club Weah - injured Pepi started and scored the last match before the friendlies. The match before that, he got an assist. Other than starting and playing well, you hit the pool noodle on the powdered sugar with Pepi.

It has been mentioned by a ton of guys, but he's managing this team like a club not a country: Club - have a system and bring in players to fit that system Country - have a player pool and fit the system around the players to get the most out of them

September 29, 20223 yr I have no problems with 2002 Jerseys, they beat Portugal and then Mexico to make the quarters and outplayer Germany. If this team does the same in a couple of months, I will buy this stupid Nike jersey.

Max Bretos had Eric Wynalda on his podcast yesterday and I would absolutely LOVE for Eric Wynalda to coach the USMNT. But Wynalda is not a company guy. He knows more than everyone in the US Soccer Federation combined and they know it, which is why they don’t want him. The listen is both encouraging and a little disheartening… but hopeful. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-soccer-og-with-max-bretos/id1555592637?i=1000580974533
September 30, 20223 yr And in case the last 2 games didn’t worry you enough, don’t forget there is an MLS only camp for players not in the playoffs coming up in October.

I hear chatter about Steffen in the pipes for Qatar, who is saying this? Where is anyone getting this idea? I get the worry, because Gergg is a moron, but nothing going on tells me that Gregg is going with Steffen.

September 30, 20223 yr We need distribution out of our CBs and GK. Without that, this "system" is in total shambles. Right now, Zimmerman is the only one getting regular minutes for GGG that fits the bill. At least Steffen helps in that regard. Forget the fact the real answer is you shouldn't have run off Brooks and played Richards more.... This is all so damn frustrating.
September 30, 20223 yr I'd rather play with 11 outfielders than put Steffen in goal in Qatar. I don't care if he can drop a ball on a cunt hair from 60 yards.
September 30, 20223 yr Wait, you guys are telling me the USSF has their heads up their asses and has no idea how to use the limited talent they produce in soccer?

He shouldn't even be on the plan the Qatar anymore. But to get the start?!?!?! I mean Ferreira isn't the 9, but he's earned a place in Qatar (though Berhalter has no place for him in the system).

October 2, 20223 yr He did score one of the most meaningful USMNT goals of the last decade. Which is more than can be said for any of our current crop of 9's.
October 4, 20223 yr Author Possible 3rd keeper Ethan Horvath let in 2 of 3 shots on goal with the third goal being an OG. That is not strong. One save, while the opposing keeper had 8 saves.
October 5, 20223 yr McKennie and Dest get starts today. Pulisic on the bench, Gio not dressing still yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It sucks for Christian and for USMNT fans, but Chelsea fans have to be loving what they are seeing after Tuchel’s start to the season.
October 6, 20223 yr Final Fifa Rankings sure make this look like the group of death. All 4 in the top 20. No. 5 England, No. 16 United States, No. 19 Wales and No. 20 Iran.

No. 5 England, No. 16 United States, No. 19 Wales and No. 20 Iran. Awful FIFA rankings aside, the USMNT and Mexico are clearly the worst Pot 2 teams and by quite some distance and Iran and England are in the bottom half of the Pot 1 and Pot 3 teams. We were very fortunate to be in Pot 2. We should have been in Pot 3 which would have placed us in a brutal group. I would definitely consider Senegal, Japan, Serbia and Poland (all Pot 3 teams) as favorites against us at the moment.
