Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 5038228, member: 55"] 1. They played hard tonight, and didn’t play poorly, but they were unable to make up for the problem, which was losing on Thursday night. They had enough talent to draw Panama down a man, but Weah should be experienced enough to not risk getting tossed against a team that couldn’t have beaten us even up. But, at 1-1, Pepe has to be able to head that ball in. I know he’s young and may end up very good, but he misses way too many opportunities. 2. I think Greg will be gone. There has always been a lot not to like about his reign, but his results were such that I was among those who couldn’t see firing him. But it’s now time. This was unacceptable. 3. Having said that, Greg didn’t lose the last two games — the players did. I fully endorse what Alexi Lalas said in the post game (and I can’t believe I’m saying this) — this team is the best group of players we’ve had but it’s not the best team. Pulisic played great. A number of others were o.k., and you certainly can’t beat on the defense as a whole over the tourney. But very little quality in the last 30 yards by anyone other than Pulisic, who wasn’t going to be allowed to beat them. 4. I still think the goal was offsides, but the camera was not even with the play, you can’t be sure from anything we were shown and it was damn close. And ultimately, we needed to score anyway and we didn’t really come that close. [/QUOTE]
