Huh... looking back at all the PBP threads I made, majority of the info-graphics still survived. To think when I first ever released these I thought to myself, "Wow, these are great!" Looking back now, Geez... I sucked back then.
Hoping this is the game Sarachan starts Roldan as a cm, but not holding my breath. Preference: --------Novakovich----- --Green-------------Weah--- -------Delgado--Roldan------ Lichaj------Weston---Adams ---------Parker---Long--------- -------------Steffen-------------- (press)
As I have said in another thread I have decided that this match, even though it is a friendly, is very important for the US's future. We have a chance in this match for the players, regardless of the coach, to show they are willing to step up and put out real effort. The idea we should play to avoid embarrassment is simply stupid and presented by the media that do not really want the US to progress and the USSF that wants everyone to think they are trying to improve the US through making them more average. I would rather see the US go all out to win and lose 4 or 5 - 1 instead of losing 2-1 or 2-0 and playing to limit the damage like we have done for a while. With an all out effort and just avoiding bad luck Mexico is very beatable at this time. We just need to take the bull by the horns and rip its head off.
I know that everyone is down, we are young, and we have a sock puppet for a head coach but it is Mexico god dammit and i am pumped!! Lets go at em boys.
I have to say the people managing CP are clever. If he plays in these matches and heats it up in all likelihood Father Sarachan of middling talent USA would keep his job. CP statement is loud and clear: clean your house MLSNT and hire a manager if you want me to take you to the world cup.

Almost an entire years worth of them . Sarachan and usmnt whining in public tips their hand. Why mention it if it's not a problem. The best is when Sacharine questions CP commitment to the team. That's rich coming from Arena's professional armrest.
It reminds me of when Jürgen tried to start 9 central backs. We will start 5 CMS and one striker....playing on the wing. Go get em you stallions !
This can't be right, right? Acosta wide? With that personnel it would be much better suited to be a 4-4-2 diamond
I questioned whether Pogba had a sprained...Pogba. honestly I have no idea but let's face it I deserve worse.
Acosta at RAW? The same 3-man midfield with limited creativity and Trapp back there to slow down the counter + not ball win? Zardes up top not Novakovich? No Roldan? No Parker nor Long getting any games this camp? Moore at rb? I'm officially over the Sarachan era at this point. He was a fine caretaker for a while, but the law of averages is catching up with him. Don't think we are that functional or learn much tonight. Pretty much hoping for Weah to look like Pulisic's perfect complement going fw and Steffen to look like the second coming of Howard. That's about it.
This just in: Sarachan is still dumb. Gotta give him credit, though, for replacing one wide mid with another CM and the other with a striker. That's the creativity this team needs!
