    If I recall GB correctly, he will want MB to drop back between the CBs a lot to pick up the ball and link the back to the front. We will see.

    Bradley starting is a joke but he should be easily if Panama has anything

    The fact Bradley didn’t get the arm band makes me really happy.

    This match has the same "point" as the forest in "The Land of Point." But there could be some interest in a few players.

    No problem with Bradley playing... He isn’t that old.

    Last time we beat Panama A team 4-0 and this is their C team. Expecting easy first game for GB...

    Guys have to be running off the ball... A little too passive in the first few minutes.

    We had a good counter going but we stopped and passed it back and allowed Panama to get everyone back behind the ball,. It is only three minutes BUT it is three minutes of negative soccer!

    He's too old for 2022, and he's been pretty poor for 2+ years already. So he doesn't earn it on merits and he doesn't earn it on promise.

    Is this the best sight line ESPN could get at this stadium?

    I think it’s more fluid than you are thinking. We have tournaments between now and the World Cup that we need to transition through. Some players right now that will be important aren’t even World Cup ready.

    Additionally, he has some of the only experience from multiple World Cups that can play now.

    Our midfield going forward has McKennie and Adams as staples.

    Hence, the biggest question is do we or don't we play a dedicated DM behind them. The two likely candidates are Trapp or Canouse if we do go with a DM.

    So we should be figuring out which of those two is the best.

    Which makes any mins going to Bradley a complete garbage strategy and waste of time. And he's starting. Already a considerable red flag to kick off the Berhalter era.

    Good cross by Ebobbise. Zardes over the bar.

    Zardes should've done better.

    Zardes is worthless. Worthless.

    Zardes has no excuse on that one. He was wide open.
