    This makes no sense when you consider Trapp and Adams played in the same match and probably were on the same flight out of Newark on Sunday night.

    We've said that quite often over the years. That being said, every current team has to be judged on its OWN PERFORMANCES and not those of teams from 15 or so years ago that no longer exist. Whether or not this team (a YOUNG TEAM at that) takes stock of this game and uses it as a springboard for improvement remains to be seen. For now, grab some popcorn, sit back, kick back, and enjoy the f̶r̶e̶a̶k̶ show.....

    I’m 100 percent confident Cameron at DM improves this team.

    Forwards in the worlds best teams lose the ball then bust their butt to win it back.

    Bobby Wood and Jozy Altidore lose the ball and walk around like prima donnas. It's infuriating. Weah and Pulisic are the only 2 attackers interested in putting in a tackle.

    This kind of game is when having an actual competent coach with an actual plan might help us look not-like a League 2 side.

    Just when I thought this team couldn’t disappoint me more, they just keep pulling a rabbit out of the hat.

    This is more of an indictment on our system. Who else are we going to run out there? Take out Trapp for Adams and put Pulisic in the 10 and Nagbe on the wing and we have our best team out there.

    Plain and simple we don't have top level players in the US pool.

    England always struggle to fill Wembley against small teams.

    You need to stop listening to that guy. Wood was offside so he ignored the pass.

    You will find the game more enjoyable without the sound.

    You know it's bad when the commentators are talking about the weather instead of the US team.

    Its gonna be great when old man Wayne Rooney checks in at around the 70 minute mark and scores a hat trick.

    Now I'm seeing why the English press are not impressed with what Rooney did with DC United this season.

    Why did Weah mis-control that right out of bounds?

    The Brit narrators on Sky sound bored as hell. They wonder why their team is only winning 2-0 against such minnow.

    If you don't expect Adams, Cannon, or healthy Steffen and Roldan to improve on this....

    Then you're leaning way to hard on an inferiority complex. They'd still be 2nd best, but believe it or not there are better alternatives than Guzan who has poor range and distribution or Trapp who couldn't pick the ball off a sloth.

    Our forward selection is one of the worst, if not the worst, of the top 30 teams.

    Trapp, McKennie, Green = too soft. Banging about only Trapp makes little sense.

    We lack top-end talent, sure, but there's enough talent in the pool to at least look organized and competent. USSF have take a bad situation after Trinidad and make it so much worse.

    Villafana constantly takes touches that put himself in a worse place to make a pass.

    Saying Weah is with PSG is like saying Sargent is with Bremen. Or Parks with Benfica, or Taitague with Schalke, or...
