    Sarachan is hanging him out to dry.

    So we have our least athletic Mid against Brazil. Brilliant move. This is not a game for Trapp. I feel like Trapp is becoming a mini-MB. His leadership is getting him in the line-up but he is not what is always needed.

    Idk if this is the case today, but am I the only one who's bothered every time soccer is played in the USA they don't use a goal that's rooted in the ground because the stadiums are built for football. It ruins the prestige of the game a little

    According to Transfermarkt, our starting lineup is worth £34.

    Brazil has several players worth more on their own:

    Fabinho £40.5m
    Fred £45m
    Marquinhos £49.5m
    Douglas Costa £49.5m
    Alisson £54m
    Casemiro £54m
    Firminho £72m
    Coutinho £108m
    Neymar £162m

    And on the bench they got:

    Douglas Costa £49.5m
    Willian £45m
    Alex Sandro £40.5m

    It's like racing a Ford Escort 1982 vs. a Bugatti Veyron 2018.

    Did anyone else notice just how poor a speaker Stewart is. His interview had more "a" stutters and "you knows" than the worst of the pro basketball players use in a month.

    sarachan was probably told he needed to include some mlsers...or else. hence him and arriola.

    i also wonder if this is sarachan kinda leaving a place open to justify MB return....and trapp is a sort of body double along those lines....

    He's Dutch. If he were speaking Dutch, he'd probably be a little better.

    These kids are very well-disciplined. If I'd been that kid in front of Neymar, I'd be extremely tempted to start making faces when that camera got shoved right up into my face.

    I don't know if that is him specifically or if things are so obscure regarding his position and where we are currently from an administrative standpoint.

    ugh why can't they just play the instrumental national anthem. Pop national anthems are so cringe worthy

    Brazil properly impressed by our enormous flag and the excessively obnoxious pop singer-version of our national anthem.

    I have known many people that have English as a second or third or fourth language and with few exceptions they all at least could string a sentence together without the obvious breaks in flow. Some accents are hard to understand but the voices have solid continuity when speaking.

    Neymar with some impressive hair tonight. That kind of shaver-work takes artistry.

    I didn't say he was a good speaker. I'm just pointing out an obvious issue, that being him likely being a native Dutch speaker. You can still hear the accent.

    well the world market undervalues americans (thanks MLS!) and overvalues brazilians....

    i think its more like a 2017 prius vs a 2018 bugatti....

    I remain not seeing in Wil Trapp what the rest of you apparently do.
