streams?? I totally forgot about the game, though if i recorded it while at work i would have had it spoiled anyways, so stream is best option regardless. thanks in advance to anyone who finds one!
Hopefully we see the Stanko/O'Neil pairing today. Also haven't seen Pineda yet. Lineups probably coming out soon. Will post if I see it on twitter.
Given the roster, Ramos could theoretically run out an entirely different back five -- say, McIntosh behind Sorto, Stanko, O'Neill and Acosta. That seems unlikely, but if he is really using this tournament to evaluate the entire roster as Finals candidates... who knows. I was mildly surprised that he threw Payeras and Torre out there as the CB pairing against what he must have known would be a good French squad rather than, say, splitting Stanko and O'Neill between them. Well, what do I know?

confused why no Sorto at RB....but interesting lineup...and again, if anyone has a stream please link, thanks!
Acosta and Morris with a big opportunity. Also Stanko back starting. McIntosh in goal and Serna at left back.
Morris certainly looks the part athletically. Interested to see him. Glad McIntosh is getting a start in goal. Also glad we'll get another look at Hernandez who didn't have opportunity to do too much vs. France but still managed to look good.
Phil Schoen just said Santa Clara is one of the top programs in college soccer. It was, back when Phil called MLS games but hasn't been for some time.
GOAL!!! Will Trapp glances is it in. USA 1-0 Was that Acosta with that nice pass over the top Morris which lead to the corner?
More giveaways from us in crucial positions. It is a hallmark of this team so far. Not enough movement in transition either and just not quick enough with our thoughts or decisions. Of course, all these traits characterize young players.
Al Jazeera announcer just called our red and white waldo kits that we wore vs. France a "strange arrangement."
I'm guessing y'all are probably tired of hearing me say this, but I continue to be amazed that FC Dallas hasn't gotten Danny Garcia penned to a HG contract yet.
Good turn by Koroma but he makes a poor decision and gives away a weakly played pass. Not a high quality game so far.
