Weah's talents are totally being wasted in this role. At least Pulisic has experience coming back to defend and counter. It's very much not Weah's instincts, even though God bless his heart he's trying. He should be up there with Wood, with Green out. Adams should come in to play wide mid. Of course it's inexplicable he's not starting.
I can’t remember the last time the US played decent. Watching them has been increasingly frustrating.
Pulisic is going to cover a thousand miles on that right side, and not in a good way. Pulls should have scored!!!!
Why are you folks whining? This has always been our MO: lots of legs in the area to avoid getting scored on, then a fast counter or a FK or corner and we score against the run of play. We've done that for 20+ years against anyone stronger than Guatemala (who just got destroyed by Israel, BTW, making CONCACAF look like crap).
Good follow-up by Pulisic, but he has suspect scoring instincts. He should have gotten the ball off his feet a lot earlier. Slotted it far post. Instead he cut his own angle and ended up being altered by the defender.
Understatement of the year. But that was actually an incredible run. He beat the entire defense alone.
So we’re about to hire a coach that is known for playing tough on the backline and scoring on counters or set pieces. Nothing ha changed.
Great strike from Lingard, but that was really poor marking. You can't give players at this level that much room at the top of the box.
