Message: [QUOTE="Sleepy, post: 4675994, member: 1248"] So much to unpack. The game-UMSNT was clearly dominant, it was shocking how bad Mexico was compared to the US. Almost everyone played great, although the red cards to McKennie and Dest showed that the team still needs to mature; once Mexico started to try and turn the game into a crapfest, they should have been professional enough to let Mexico self-destruct and not get drawn into their bu11$h!t. The fact that it was those two who got sent off for retaliation should surprise nobody-they've shown in the past that they are hotheads. I actually think McKennie won't be that big a loss for Sunday's Final against Canada; he had that great pass to spring Dest --> Pulisic to open the second half, but most of his other passes seemed off-target giveaways and I can't recall his impact on the game other than that one moment; his club situation is fluid, and it will be interesting to see where he goes next. Dest will be missed more; his quality is so obvious that it's disappointing that his club situation is such a mess; perhaps top-tier Champions League level clubs are too high-level for him, but he's a good player that needs to play. Pulisic-he is "Captain America" for sure, it's crazy his club situation is such a mess. The Mexican crowd-it may not be the whole fanbase, but they once again showed that they are a trash fanbase, just like their team when they're losing. CONCACAF and FIFA need to start penalizing them in a real fashion, as in taking points away like Juventus suffered in Serie A for a different matter(financial shenanigans); these half-assed measures don't amount to squat. And that chant was from the very first goal kick of the game; the one they stopped the game for was not the first, nor the third or fifth. US Soccer and Berhalter; an organization run by morons, hiring a toxic figure for..."reasons". I can't wait for this to blow up in their face, but unfortunately it will hurt the team and fanbase and perhaps blow a chance to make a huge impression on the nation in 2026. Can we blow up the organization and build another from the ground up? [/QUOTE]
