MNT’s 2022

[LIuconn]

Dutch back line is 6-3 and up. We don't have a target striker. Gonna be tough to accomplish.

 

[Tenspro2002]

The sad thing is I took Netherlands to make the final at +450 before the tournament began, and while they're easily going to get through this round, they actually look super unimpressive and will probably lose 3-1 to Argentina since this s___ isn't going to work against a better coached team.

 

[Forte]

The Dutch arent even trying ... they are saving their energy for Argentina.

 

[Jaker]

LOL, how does not score there??

 

[SubbaBub]

I don't think anyone on the squad does less with more than Musah.

 

[Jaker]

Size differential is a huge factor in this game.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Wright has to find a way there, just brutal.

 

[SubbaBub]

Wright is officially the worst player on the squad.

 

[Jaker]

should be a 2-2 game right now

 

[UCFBfan]

Wright is officially the worst player on the squad.

He made up for it

 

[SubbaBub]

Reminds me of the scene in Neccessary Roughness where the QB jams the ball into the facemask of the stone handed receiver.

That was all Pulisic. Wright was a backboard.

Wright is channeling the corpse of Wondo.

 

[Jaker]

Crazy how easy the Dutch score, always unmarked players

 

[Tenspro2002]

How do they find dangerous passing lanes and angles so much more easily than we do?

 

[navery12]

3 goals and not a defender in sight on any of them

 

[SubbaBub]

How do they find dangerous passing lanes and angles so much more easily than we do?

They are better and our back line is not good. This was the concern. Jedi has to cover half the field on his own because they other 3 are traffic cones. If he could trust Ream ro cover the back striker then he would have been wider and saw that guy.

 

[Jaker]

Too bad, Turner has actually had a solid game but no chance on those wide open looks.

 

[SubbaBub]

Zimmerman is not Richarlison.

 

[SubbaBub]

Oh good. Morris curtain call. GGG throwing in the towel.

 

[UConnRock]

It will be nice to watch a rebuild of the backline.

 

[SubbaBub]

We have zero answers 1 v 1.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Trying to dribble and dink and dunk it into the 6 yard box isn't going to work.

 

[RichCTBB]

Did aaronson just cut the ball into the defender? Too many touches

 

[SubbaBub]

Guys who weren't ready for this level

Zimmerman
Musah (yet)
Sargent
Wright
Ferreira
Arronson
Reyna (yet)
Morris

Guys to build around for 2026
Turner
Robinson A.
Robinson M.
Dest
Adams
McKennie
Pulisic
Weah

Desparately need at least 2 CB's and 2 strikers in the pool.

There was a lot of that. The key to breaking down defenses at this level is two touch soccer. Our guys lack the quality to anticipate the ball, setup the ball with a good first touch then quickly do something positive with it. Pass, shoot, dribble past the defender. Key part being past.

This team needs Andre Jackson Jr.
