World Cup
-
I watched the first half but have had a hard time getting my spirit into USMNT this window, and thusly haven't gone back and watched the second. It's not that I don't like the boys or Poch, just have a lot going on, and a little burnt out on (or maybe bored of) youth soccer in the United States, which cascades up, because the shit flows uphill. I'll get there, but haven't yet.
Also, I wear a USMNT hat every day, so only you guys know my secret.

Go USMNT hat! ha. nice. I need one of those.
If you have the option, i'd watch the highlights. The goals were very very nice.

Somewhat disappointed in the US World Cup roster decision making.
Bummed that Gio made it, and Musah and Luna did not. Tessman, meh. Probably fine he didn't make the cut, but others are complaining we're thin at central mid.
Gio should be banned for life after his petulant behavior last time round! ha.
Plus he's not that good and doesn't play much for his club.
This will be interesting for sure. Poch didn't really line up his guys with any consistency. So, who knows if they'll gel enough to make it out of the group phase. Hope so!

@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.

@rockchalkjayhawk literally how does Gio keep making it

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.
