JSSkinz Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 As long as we have starting forwards like Zardes and Altidore we cant expect great results, our Gold Cup team has about 4 or 5 players worthy of a national team that looks to get out of the group in the next WC Finals and the rest are JAGS. I'm disappointed in Boyd's play thus far, I see a winger who can't play a good ball in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I didnt think Bradley could look worse and still get praise from the broadcast booth, but here we are. " I thought Michael Bradley put himself in great position in the first half.." WHAT! This bum should be on the bench with a possibility to come in as a sub. Its over. He's gotta go. He's lost a step ( if you could consider his pace a positive at some point), he is terrified of shooting, he is routinely lost on defense, and his touch is abysmal. Its over. Forget Altidore, who for whatever reason tends to do well in qualifiers, and is at the very least much better than Zardes. Bradley has always been trash. He's got no fortitude. Hes a loser. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FanboyOf91 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) I went to bed at half-time, thinking they'd blow it out. Holy ****, what the hell was Berhalter doing? I still can't believe Berhalter put our best young CM at right back. Edited July 1, 2019 by FanboyOf91 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long n Left Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I’m going to give Berhalter a light pass this Gold Cup, as long as they make the final, at least. After this though, if we don't start seeing Pulisic, Adams, McKennie, Weah, Sargent, Carter-Vickers, Yedlin, and Miazga getting extensive time together, I’ll be leading the charge to get him out before he can do any more damage to our WC hopes for 2022, and beyond. And, ffs, can we find a LB? Tim Ream? Really? Dude is a CB, and a mediocre one at that. Also, can we please move on from Bradley, Zardes, Gonzales, and Altidore? Please?!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucy Bronze from England is actually playing for Lyon. I don't see anything in the article explaining why French will support England. By the way I watched Rapinoe and Morgan interviews prior to the game vs France they were absolutely not arrogant.

Heck, how about we at least play Lima at LB since, you know, he plays LB. Berhalter is such a tactical genius he likes to play players in positions that dont make sense. One day we will all understand his genius.... Watching Bradley continue to be trash, give the ball away, while knowing he was planning on playing Adams at RB is fireable. How about we establish our starting 11 and actually keep trotting them out there so they can build some actual chemistry?? Berhalter decided that since we were up ONE FRICKEN GOAL and the goalkeeper was holding the ball a lot so we would just drop back and play defensive up a goal. As opposed to just imposing our will against a much lesser team. The most frustrating thing is the passiveness, the lack of confidence, acting like the other teams have just gotten better, we should be happy to just get a win, etc. I think I have seen enough to say we need to move on, but if after the Gold Cup we are still calling in these old bad players I may not be able to bring myself to watch anymore for the sake of my health. So many players that have no business being even called up let alone start, but watch, thats exactly what will continue to happen. US Soccer leadership is an embarrassment. I find myself just going on rants these days whenever I post about them.... Its sad. Edited July 2, 2019 by MisterPinstripe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets face it, in the world's eyes, we're public enemy #1. Not that its going to matter. The US has faced that kind of adversity all tourny long and yet here they are, in the semis.

I understand your point but I'm not sure about that, I would appreciate if you could keep me posted about it as I won't be able to watch the game.
