Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 4446456, member: 1646"] I don't follow the team as much as many of you. But man, there is a dropoff in talent as we get deeper in the subs. Every sub seemed to lower our skill set a bit more. [LIST] [*]Our main guys are really solid to great. I think Robinson was too amped up. Some really bad touches as LIuconn mentioned. But Pulisic, McKennie, Dest, etc. pass the eye test. [*]Aaronson was the one example of a sub that seemed just as strong as the starters. [*]I don't usually love Sargent. I thought he played well (although he may be better defensively than as a striker. Hes just not dynamic). [*]I thought Zimmerman played well in the air (on the whole) when he came in. He cost us the game against Wales so he had keep us in the lead. [*]Why was Shaq Moore in the game? He just doesn't belong on the field during an important World Cup moment. [*]I liked Haji Wright... until that last minute scuffed shot that could've been taken to the corner. That's not a lack of experience, that's hubris. Even my high school son would know to take it to the corner (but he might not). [*]I don't think I've seen CCV before. I'm not sure what to think of him. I was a bit worried that he was going to tackle (American football) someone at the wrong time. I respect that he was very physical, but controlled his fouling. Then I saw he plays for Celtic and was glad he didn't think Iran was Rangers. [*]I really hate our attack. It doesn't fit our players. We play like we're old school Germany with cross after cross. Half our guys are below 5'9". [*]Do we really know what's up with Reyna? Does Berhalter just hate him, or is he really hurt or worse than we all think? I don't get it. [/LIST] But, we're through. I was expecting a tie from before the game and right until the whistle. [/QUOTE]
