    Good shout but I have always liked Parker.

    Mbappe a bit selfish there.

    Griezmann off - they don't want him picking up a pointless injury.

    Stop playing for the win and put in Sargent.

    This is dumber than Klinsi and Arena's use of subs.

    Sargent and Weah need to see some minutes and get the experience of this level.

    Sarachan doesn’t deserve consideration just because of how crappy he handles the subs in friendly matches.

    What an embarrassing sub choice. Just seems like he's trolling us and France at this point.

    We are now looking at the dreaded 5 defender, 4 center mid formation.

    Maybe that's why we're leaving Wood on.

    Aside for it being a friendly I don’t think a non doctor makes that assumption.

    Bad move taking Julian out. He has been very helpful in possession. Need to see Weah or Sargent instead of Corona.

    There is no reason Wood should still be in there.

    That was never his game. He runs and he fights and looks for chances.

    As much as everyone hates him, Jozy's the veteran forward that looks to link up.

    Sarachan likes his experience. It is all I got. Otherwise I have no idea. I dont rate him but looks like ol Dave does.

    Too bad for Sarachan that Gulati is gone. Otherwise, he would be 20 minutes away from receiving a five-year contract to manage the US.

    So Weah is not going to get a few minutes to play in the country in which he plies his professional trade?

    Just remember it's a friendly. Doesn't mean much, the French are trying stuff and it's not working. So they need to figure out what may work when they face the bunkers they're likely to face in Russia.

    But from that to thinking that our team could beat France in an actual competitive game is a huge stretch. Just focus on the positives, like the good things shown by the wingbacks today or how the 5-man backline seems to fit this team.

    It doesn't mean this group would have beaten Trinidad B that day. We won't know that until they play a competitive game. It's a completely different animal.

    Sarachan wants to be sure to alienate some of the non-SUM approved players.

    I think it must be subconscious. Sarachan is thinking, "Man, I could use a cold beer" and that eventually leads to "Corona! Get out there! For some reason, I feel like I intensely need you right now."
