MNT's 2024

[CardiacAndre7]

Same old awful performance. Why is Ream still in the team? Aaronson and Scally are just not good players, Sargent doesn’t do anything. No creativity, no movement, no strength. Pathetic showing, been saying that far too much recently. Maybe it’s time to change this trash 4-3-3.

They weren't playing a 4-3-3. Poch has changed it to a 4-2-3-1.

We weren't going to win in Mexico with a mostly B-side team. Nothing to see here that we didn't already know (no roster depth).

 

[LIuconn]

If anything maybe poch rotates in a new b squad? Looks like Adams and mckennie will be back from injury soon

 

[ZooCougar]

That game was meaningless.

Need to play some friendlies in Europe if you want to get two games out of the A squad.

Doubt we'll be playing too many games in Europe. No need to. With the WC here in 26, most European teams (when they are not playing Nations League and qualifying) will want games here.

With our players in Europe it makes more sense.

Maybe for us, but not for anyone we would want to play.

So all of England and France's friedlies have been moved to North America?

Don't know. But I would assume they would be trying to get some here, if possible. Not sure when they are going to have Friendlies again though. They have Nations League games right now (Nov) and WC Qual starts in March 2025 I believe (for those not still in Nations League).

They might have windows where they play one game in the league and a friendly.

When sent our A Teamers back to Europe for load management. Seems like we might get more reps as a team if we can cut back on some travel.

Lalas doesn't like Pulisic skipping Mexico. I wouldn't be surprised if Poch told his top guys to leave so he could do evals on the roster. He knows what he has with CP, Weah and McKennie. Putting big game pressure on the second string in Mexico gives him a better idea of the squad.

Then I'm for it.

Lalas is an idiot.

At 26 Pulisic has played in more matches that Alexi ever did.

 

[Kolumbo]

Impressive. They probably say many of the same things after games, but still nice.

Even I most likely got the last line of his first statement.
"Spirito della squadra era si perfecto
"Spirit of the squad is perfect," or something

Could you imagine if he came to MLS like Lalas and Landycakes insisted a year and a half ago?

 

[Kolumbo]

Not sure what happened to the keeper here, I think he was expecting a header

 

[LIuconn]

Yeah not a classic Olimpico but it counts!

 

[KryHavok]

Latest FIFA men's rankings came out today, the US is listed at 18 (no change from previous). Mexico crept up to 16 (+1). Argentina, France, and Spain are the top 3.

Nobody cares about these. Unless you are near the top of the ranking for the WC draw it simply means almost nothing.

 

[ZooCougar]

The National Team has so little juice.

USSF is a disaster. People are talking about how badly both the Women's and Men's teams are promoted.

Ticket prices are out of control and the Berhalter era sucked the lifeforce out the whole enterprise.

They'll ramp it up for 2026. Not even sure if they want a lot of eyes right now. (until Poch can get some things figured out)

Game time in 30 min

I’ve never seen so little interest.
