      @rockchalkjayhawk I love that Gio made it haha. But bummed Luna didnt. I think we are short a couple horses in the backline. Chris Richards coming back from injury and the ageless Tim Reim to anchor our defense?

        Gio! He’s a divisive figure for sure.

        Yea, many complaining about the back line as well. And that he added like 30 wingbacks.

        I don’t think I really care for his 3-4-2-1 system so far. That puts players like Jedi out of position.

        Fingers crossed we make a run.

            ????

            Once a teen prodigy, now not even living in the ballpark of expectation. A mystery.

              Solid win today. I can get behind a team that looks that good on offense against Senegal

                yep, team looked good today. The first half in particular. Pulisic had some positive energy for sure.

                Odd that we've still yet to see the World Cup starters on the field together...

                Or does that mean Weston is a bench player??

                Oh, did Gio play today? 🙂

                  Remember how labored our offense was under Berhalter? Was great to see what we got out of Pepi AND Balogun

                    Defense used to be the strength of this team, huh. A little offense never hurts!

                    I’m just weirded out seeing guys play outside their usual spots on the field. But apparently it’s already confusing opponents.

                      Watched USA v Germany yesterday.
                      Crappy start, but not a bad effort in general.
                      I still dislike the formation Poch has chosen. 3-2-4-1
                      Mostly on transition attacks by opposing teams. It was quite apparent to me at least that the team struggles to organize and cover all the bodies. That’s a problem.
                      On offense we at least to seem to have a bunch of bodies that push forward.
                      Weston as a central attacking “mid” and playmaker just doesn’t work for me. Nor him. Not his skill set.
                      And if you didn’t watch, at least catch highlights of Jedi’s blister! Wow.

                          Hey, that was one heckuva first half! Wow. Dominating.

                          It pains me to say it, but yea, that was a pretty nice Gioooo goal. good for him.

                          One slip up in a semi transition to defense — which has been my fear with this formation. Otherwise well played.

                            Ended up not really watching the second half as I was tired but what a great result.
