PBP: 2018 CONCACAF U-20 Championship: USA vs. U.S. Virgin Islands 11/3 6:00 ET

Dude. Akinola takes away a goal? He looks not very good, and considering the competition, that's pretty sad. This game and last, very mediocre.

 

I literally logged in just to bitch about how terrible he is.

He’s annoyingly bad.

 

Ayo is the rarest of players in that you’re better playing down a man than playing with him.

 

Y’all remember folks saying Ayo was better than Weah in the last 17s cycle?

I do. I lol’ed then. I’m lol-ing harder now.

This kid. He’s just not good.

 

He's been bad but not as bad as Dorsey. I'm by no means a fan of Ayo's game but he was at least decent against Puerto Rico. Dorsey hasn't even approached decent tonight.

 

Ayo can't even control a pass let a lone pass one to a team mate next to him.

 

Not a shot at him but compliment to our depth. De La Fuente, Carleton, Pulisic, Weah, Amon, Taitague, all make Llanez a c teamer for our u20 age group.

 

59th minute

Pomykal on for Akinola
Mendez on for Angking

 

Ok, here come Pomykal & Mendez.

 

I like Dorsey way more. He’s just a nervous wreck, but has actual quality on the ball.

I can’t tell you what Ayo does that any jr. High football running back couldn’t do.

 

How do you even hit the post...

 

Mendez plays in Dorsey. His shot is saved, but the rebound falls right to Rennicks who heads it in.

7-0 US in the 61st minute

 

7-0.

 

Way more, really? How 'bout just a smidgen more. Ayo ain't good, true, but Dorsey isn't, either.

 

Mendez's cross from a short corner falls to McKenzie who pokes it home.

8-0 US in the 63rd minute

 

It hit off his thigh and shin. Sorta giving him a lot of credit by calling that a "finish"...

 

Pulisic is not a u-20 any longer … he is 21 next year.

 

It was effective!

 

I haven’t had to see two cycles of Dorsey being terrible yet. And he controls the ball except when he has an open net.

These two reasons make me comfortable with my “way more”.

 

Good basketball screens on that FK. That was pretty well-worked.

 

Mendez rolls a free kick from the right corner-ish area to Rennicks who had made a run to get open. Rennicks finishes.

9-0 US 66th minute

 

GJ by Pomykal there. Glad that we're still half-trying to attack. Otherwise this would be suuuuper boring to watch.

 

It’s 10-0 now. Pomykal scores.

Weakest keeper effort I’ve seen in a while.

 

Pomykal, nice work, 10-0. Now we have a game.

 

Pomykal picks up the ball, maneuvers past three defenders and finishes

10-0 US 67th minute
