Mournblade Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 * US qualifies from the Group of Death in the 2014 WC (beating out world power Portugal) * Gets to the semifinal of the Copa America in 2016, against world power Argentina * Wins the Gold Cup in 2017 The resume is getting increasingly impressive. They might actually be a world power by the time I'm an old man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 US skill continues to underwhelm, especially against a team like Jamaica who had zero possession but played a beautiful corner. Better skilled teams finish 2 more of those sequences in the box. Did Trump take credit for this yet? Winning!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsburySkinsFan Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I'll take the win! Arena has us moving in the right direction. Klinsman would have dropped this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine we get 1 more in the first if Pulisic was playing. 2-0 opens up Jamaica and we probably end up winning 3 or 4-1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 Acosta had a poor game. That was really the reason we couldnt break through the final 30. Jamaica played a well disciplined defense. Packed in and tried to counter. They really didnt have any legit chances except for the one goal (which I still think Howard should have come off and grabbed in the air). Pulisic, Cameron, Yedlin, Wood all would have helped. That was Jamaica's top squad. It was far from ours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeman38 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Imagine the depth up front with Pulisic, Zardes, Wood, Dempsey, Altidore, Nagbe, Morris, Arriola. There could be two teams worth of scoring talent, with a competent midfield. It's the backline that worries me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yedlin, Brooks, Cameron, F Johnson And we have youngsters coming soon. I think our backline will be our strength if we make it to Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanboyOf91 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (mumbles) pulisic should be playing in midfield at some point (and jozy's getting injured somehow before the World Cup) (and zardes? please) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US is loaded (for us) at forward, Pulisic is a bit of a waste up there when we are so thin in the middle. Morris could be special, but not if he stays in the MLS. That goal will make him the MLS posterboy, which is not a good thing. Klinsmann was a horrible cook, but he sure knows how to stock a pantry. Let's give him credit for that. Praying that: Aron Johansson is healthy, Julian Green finds himself. Those 2 = Zardes who? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Huge game tonight. US v CR at 630 on ESPN. A win would make the rest of the Hex relaxing but not guaranteed. A tie would be bad. A loss would be potentially devastating. Additionally Mex hosts Panama and TnT hosts Hond. We could really use a Mexico win and a TnT win. I hope to see the following- Howard Lichaj Besler Cameron Johnson Bedoya Bradley Pulisic Nagbe Altidore Wood I wont be surprised though if we play 5 midfielders.

TimmySmith Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 3 years ago I would have thought it inconceivable that Julian Green and Aron Johannsson would not be on the roster this late in the campaign. Yedlin and Brooks on the mend. Tonight's lineup should coast through qualifying, but won't get far in the WC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergasun Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 @ixcuincle Glad I am not the only one who sees this... we had the Nagbe run in,.Bradley steal to Altidore, Pulisic over to the touch line tryed to finish, and the PK uncalled.... plenty of chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
