Not based on a single game. When is the last time he made any offensive contribution for the NT? That's not a rhetorical question. I'd really like to know.

I only have 4 comments.

1) We suck.
2) Other than Puli, I don't think there's anyone that wasn't there who makes us appreciably better.
3) I don't think Yedlin is a lock anymore. It's as if he's had the offensive part of his game coached out of him, or something. When is the last time he made an offensive contribution for the national team. He sure didn't against Trinidad.
4) the tactic we were employing early in the match of winning the ball with high pressure and then passing it back to our defense to lose the ball because we were all stretched out from high pressure is about the most stupid thing I've ever seen.

It's going to be a long road to Qatar, or where ever the 2022 World Cup is played. I've lost track of how many slots hack-a-calf gets for 2022, but if it's the 3.5, we're going to struggle to qualify.

1)ok
2)no
3) the look on Yedlin's face had the following written on it: Are we in Trinidad or Ireland? Actually, his individual plays were professional. He just didn't have anybody to play with.
4) Yes!!!!!

Could it be you haven't linked #3 to #4?
