American Soccer |OT2| Party Like It's 1999.

I feel like the US is running more than they should be here early. They're going to get tired pretty quickly if they keep this up. Honduras seems comfortable launching a few counters but otherwise not expending much energy.

Good to see Honduras take a few cards here early.

why are we so bad.....I honestly don't get it.


who got beat there? Gonzales?


Let's just call up Carter-Vickers cause literally all our CBs are garbage at the moment. why not

Wow, on replay, that's a simple tackle to make. The eff is wrong with him.


Dunno what the commentator was saying. We haven't been outplaying Honduras at all so far.


edit:

"You go into halftime trying to keep it at 1-0. 1-1 is a good final result"
that's a pathetic way of thinking. Are we playing Germany or Hondruas.

Gonzalez to blame on this one but no surprise that the difficulty is coming from the left side. Zusi just getting absolutely SHREDDED repeatedly and in this case was nowhere nearby to offer support.

why isn't johnson playing lb or rb? He didn't play last match.

Shit, what control by Pulisic. Thought he'd turn and shoot or do something.. way too passive at that moment.

yeah probably. Nagbe really needs to be better in the final third for how talented he is.


Our CMs are the worst though. They can't get on the ball and dictate the game at all.

That recent created chance, Bradley and Acosta didn't even touch the ball. Hm, I wonder why.

edit:
good chance. Pulisic looks awake. Morris's layoff was decent, but maybe too strong.

I really prefer Pulisic in the middle for the US. He's wasted a bit out on the wing especially without someone like Altidore there to accept the potential crosses. I want him running at the defenders, rather than getting boxed in.

yea, was this really the best game to start dempsey? play 60 odd minutes in this heat? I don't think so. Pulisic in the middle, and maybe bedoya or something wide. He usually plays defense at least.

since all of our CBs are horrible, we should just do Cameron and Brook for the time being. At least those two can pass the ball at times.


Gonzales and Besler have no redeeming qualities.

dunno why the commentator is assuming gamesmanship. It might be, but we dunno.


We've had 70 minutes to score and we haven't. Don't get salty over 1 minute to check for injury.

This squad is shit. Beasly, god bless him, is done. You had an amazing run, but no mas.Gonzo is so good @ the club level, in MLS and LIGAMX, but at the international level, he is always getting got. So infuriating.

Our attack is slow af and we cannot do anything. I am trying to understand the that the oppressive atmosphere is intense in Honduras, but it's still a fucking lesser Honduras team. On transitions we are not moving fast enough at all. We look like we are running through a bog.

I don't wanna be overtly harsh, but the USA defence is letting Lozano do some Maradonaesque runs. You guys need to learn to throw a kick or two.

Oh thank god, a tie is all we need. Anything more would be gravy. A win here puts us right back on track, if not a little ahead.
