I can’t even really blame Gregg. He sucks but there was nothing from any single player in that game that was redeemable.
Yep, dudes running around on the field, multiple balls kicked onto it, time wasting bull----, and he adds literally nothing to the 7. Panama earned the win, but the GTFO of here with trash concacaf moron refs. He rewarded the fans and the players for time wasting. Nice. God that sucked. Deserved loss, but yeah, would be nice if the refs didn't seem bought and paid for.
Absolutely shocking performance tonight. Were there any tactics at all? Might as well have rested Aaronsen and Pepi since they barely got any action after coming on
They are -- and it worked. Extra balls on the field. Fans running on the field. And not an extra second added in stoppage by the ref. Not the reason we lost, obviously, but it all had the desired effect for the home team.
We beat ourselves... Don’t give me this shit that Panama is tough. No they’re not. That team was absolute shit. We were just worse. The field was fine. The refs were fine. There is no excuse except we were just flat.
Kinda my feeling as well. I wish I could be more angry about this... but the minute that starting XI hit...
Canada and Costa Rica still have to play each other twice. Disappointing performance but players didn’t show up.
Gooch just speechless.... "No one knew their roles" yeah, why do you think that is? Kate! Nailed it. "Is some of this on Berhalter?"
You own this GB... that was a terrible team you put out to start and it showed.... Even when we're down a goal, you add bad choices and leave that stiff Lletget on the field. This was a winnable game if GB hadn't screwed it up. We had ZERO midfield and as a result, zero chances. Own it GB and by the way, fire his useless ass. We are going no place this way
The funny thing is that people here are acting surprised. This team has played 5 qualifiers now, and has looked good for about 75 minutes total (2nd half Jamaica, last 30 Honduras). That should have ended about 3-0. Embarrassing performance.
How on earth were 2 additional minutes not added? The ref kept pointing at his watch, but I guess he just left it running. I don't blame Berhalter for rotating the squad, but boy, some of those decisions were bad. McKenzie was just way too casual on the ball all game. It never seemed to occur to him that Panama might have a player on him when he was in possession. Acosta, so many bad touches and poor set piece delivery (usually a strength of his). I'm not sure what the point of Arriola was in this game. Lletget just had no positive impact anywhere on the field. Zardes . . . never involved in the play until that clumsy own goal. I like Bello, but he's not ready for games like this. Awful, awful game.
Busio, Hoppe, Pepi, Adams, DLT, Aaronson, all started the game on the bench. Konrad is in France. Unbelievable.
Please don't underestimate the garbage starting lineup and the garbage coach who constructed it. That would be a disservice to everyone who loves U.S. Soccer.
And can we find a way to toughen up our young super duper players? Puli and Gio always being injured bugs the hell out of me.
The saving grace of COVID era qualifying is that we only have to wait 3 days to redeem our selves. Maybe.
And Scally in Germany, leading to Bello and freaking Shaq Moore playing terribly tonight. I am livid.
