No fan of GB, but Bajraktarevic appears to have a bright future. Excellent control and seems to know what to do with the ball before it is even on his foot. He won't be MLS for much longer (if we're lucky).

Virtually ever player who came in the second half should have started. GB is lost.
 
Watching grass grow is more exciting than the USMNT. I'm more interested in Wrexham's pursuit up the English Football League.

You seem to be implying that I don’t care. Perhaps you should read what I said. Since I find “watching grass grow is more exciting than the USMNT”, I clearly do care.

If you knew what you were taking about then you would know how meaningless the January events are.

Old man shouting at cloud.

The Caps have been in a bit of slump lately. I think I have discovered the cause.

Tangentially related to the USMNT.

But it’s another season and yet another season where Thomas Tuchel is being fired.

Oh come on, we all know it was a "Mutual Decision"! ;)
 
GGG called in his squad for the Nations League Finals here in March.
3/21 vs Jamaica
3/ 24 vs Mexico/Panama winner

GK - Turner, Horvath, Callender
DF - Ream, A Robinson, Dest, M Robinson, Richards, McKenzie, Scally, Lund
- Adams, McKennie, Musah, Reyna, de la Torre, Cordosa
FW - Pulisic, Weah, Sargent, Pepi, Balogun, M Tillman

Truthfully, not bad.

I watch a little Musah the other night. He was all over the place, had a run where he dribbled through about five guys....and then....shot the ball 20 yards over the goal. If he ever learned to get the ball on net.......

Yeah, he's a good ball carrier and can cover a lot of ground. But his passing and shooting still need work. BUT, he's still only 21, so he's got time to improve. Hopefully he does.
 
There's no point rooting for USMNT as long as they stick with GB.

Sorry, but similarly to England we have our best talent pool maybe ever, and the managers for each country have figured out a way to not get the best out of them and their FA's know it. They're just 'yes men'.

I’ve never cared less.
 
Took a break from hoops to watch the second half of tonight's game. Jamaica with no Leon bailey or Michail Antonio and they still stink up the joint. Berhalter out

And the entire fed needs to go with the decision to 1. Play at 6ct in Arlington Texas. 2. Lay new sod the day before a game - then host a double header on the same faulty pitch.
 
They score with zero time left after 5 minutes of extra time, on a corner kick, with Turner out of the goal and in the box, to tie it. It wasn't Turner but it was all in Spanish so I don't know who scored.

They then score in each of the 15 minute overtime segments to win 3-1. Completely insane game. Jamaica should have had two second half goals on clean break aways but blew both chances. Greg sucks but the team is tough minded as hell. WOW!

It was an own goal. Came off M Robinson, then one of the Jamaican heads.

Nice to get a win, but it weren't very pretty. Wright had a couple nice finishes though, and Reyna a couple nice assists.

Exactly. This game was the perfect example. As a USMNT fan, it was incredible and frustrating to watch. The players deserve so much better. But it was as exciting as it gets and a win.
 
GGG's biggest problem is player selection. Always has been. If this cup is important than there is no way Scally belongs on the field.

It's also telling that the two key players in the comback where players GGG refuses to play regularly.

On the pitch, the US dominated after the goal like we haven't seen. Playing direct, pushing forward, generating chances that we clearly lack the quality to finish.

Musah isn't our 6 but with Adams out it's fine. I'm intrigued playing McK at left back but that is Dest's spot. The midfield and attacking roles are getting crowded with little chance of players separating themselves before 26. All the makings of a broken locker room. This is why GG needs to go.

Reyna needs to be in the middle and Wright needs an extended run. He and Pepi are the two best finishers.

Who you want there?
 
BTW, Adams seemed really pissed when GB subbed him out in overtime. Really pissed.
