Just dogshit from the CBs. Richards looks like he's on drugs. I'd kill for an in form Zimmerman and Robinson right now.

How about some more fucking effort, Richards.

This back 4 looks awful. 

Well it could be worse. Aaron Long could be playing.

Why we gotta have Greg still ?

Greg gonna play CB? This isn't a Greg issue it's a player pool issue.

Not that I think we look well-coached today - there have been other issues on the pitch that Greg is more responsible for.

Germany’s been a bag of shit for the last  year. Just needed to play against Gregg’s tactics to unfuck themselves. 

I'd love to see your breakdown of all 3 of Germany's goals and how they were a tactical failure of the HC. Not sure you even watched the game, though. 

The back 4 played like shit and they aren't nearly talented enough to do that and not get embarrassed by a side with as much talent as Germany. 

We didn't have TA who typically makes any defense he's playing in front of look better (see: United, Leeds) and our midfield was in a hurry to give the ball away as much as possible. 

I don't care who is managing us - we do not have good options along the back - especially when you get into the 2 and 3 deep. I've been saying this for a long time now. It was our biggest issue in Qatar along with the lack of a decent 9 and our manager being passable on a good day. 

Feel free to criticize Gergg's tactics - but let's not act like that's why we served Germany 3 goals up on a platter today.

The thing is that Gregg should understand that his back 4 lacks the talents to just be on that island. Play a different scheme that can't be beat as bad. Has help when they are beat.

Don't get me wrong, the plays as they played out were not on Gregg. But he could have tactically changed things to compensate for their short comings.

Disappointing to see the team play relatively well in staking itself to a 1-0 lead ... only to surrender an equalizer with some lazy marking and then completely rollover in the second half thanks to some even lazier marking.

Not sure why or how, but too much of our backline gets caught ball watching or not tracking with a diagonal or not closing out an approaching attacker, affording him yards of space to take a crack at goal.

Offensively, though, saw a great deal of promise in the build-up at times. Hope there will be many more friendlies of this caliber since this team won't be able to gel through the typical CONCACRAP qualifying cycle. 

Anyway, enough sour grapes on my part. That opening goal from Puli was worth the price of admission.

 

EDIT: And without Turner, Die Mannschaft could've netted five or six goals, easy. Frustrating af.

I'm not even sure what that means. Like what scheme? 

The amount of international managers that could feasibly scheme around our defensive shortcomings on the back line and manage to implement something in the limited windows that we have I can easily count on one hand.

Dest was a defensive liability all game. It is the manager’s job to do something tactically to help him defensively. Letting him just get exposed all game is 100% on Greg. No adjustments is just par for the course though.

Did you guys see Naglesmann dunk on Berhalter before the game? He said, roughly, "some people talk about building culture where everyone is friends. That's not football, you need to build a good team and let the culture grow from there."

Wasn’t he fired for basically not fitting in with The culture of Bayern, that includes having an affair with a reporter?

Glad to see you’re coming around. I ask myself the same question anytime I watch Gregg coach. 

But seriously, he went back to Berhalter ball in the second half and it was shit. It left the defense in a bad spot. Granted no Gio didn’t help, but we all know Berhalter ball is garbage.

That's very 1950s of you to call "Having a girlfriend who is a reporter." something like "having an affair with a reporter."

This is along the lines of using "gay" to mean "happy"/"joyful".

His girlfriend (or "partner"), who he took to social events for several months, was indeed a reporter. After a while, this got on some people's nerves.

This makes you go 🤔

I see a lot of people comparing the USA with Japan’s national team, given both nations’ recent ascension of players to to bigger clubs.. Here’s the big difference.. Japan’s manager (Hajime Moriyasu) before getting hired:• 5 years as a club manager• 3x J-League Champion…

The order of events of his relationships is a little in dispute. Some say he started dating his current GF before he left his wife, others after. But if it was before, I stand by my affair statement.

I wasn't even thinking about it - but is Antonee hurt right now? He has his shortcomings but Christ he's still a lot better than Scally.

It didn't seem like we had much of a plan going forward. Everyone looked hurried and confused. I'll still maintain that the back 4 - and your CBs especially - need to make stops and settle the game down instead of making mistakes and adding to the dysfunction. If we clean some stuff up and Musah puts that header on target it could have been 2-2.

How is that dunking on Greg? First - culture and buy-in and keeping the locker room together is sort of hugely important for any sports team. Second - we don't have culture issues. I don't see guys getting unwarranted playing time over better players. We have tactical issues and some positional issues. Those things aren't mutually exclusive and the best coaches succeed with both. Unless you're just being a contrarian cunt, Gerg is has proven to be a good players coach and a poor tactician.

Exactly, this is a once in a generation opportunity for the USA and he did not earn the right to be here with his shit ass coaching job from the last cycle. We are pissing away a golden opportunity that wont come around again soon. Fuck me.

Eyewitness reporting…

The adrenaline has finally settled after seeing the yanks live 🇺🇸Some thoughts:-Pulisic screamer + no PK call + goal disallowed means we were close to a Puli 1st half hat trick vs Germany if things went slightly different-The crowd loudly booed Gregg when he was announced…

This front line + Reyna and Dest is getting my dick hard. Fuck me we have a lot of talent. Just need more talent on the other end of the pitch.

Another. 

This Ghana back line is having a rough night. 

Also it's so refreshing having a 9 that just buries shit like that.
