    Pulisic put it on a plate, after beating his man 1 v. 1. Manufactured that goal. Looked more like a captain since that poor first decision.

    Wes always been great in the air for his size.

    Holden finally makes a comment which raises him above vegetable level for a few minutes. He compares Pulisic's assist to the Trinidad pass.

    It’s so great to see how close Pulisic and McKennie are. Helps me be optimistic about their future together.

    Ah, the whole team had been bad. Pointing out McKennie is a pretty hot take.

    Curacao has been about as good as they can get. I am standing by my 5-0 (or 5-1) prediction.

    Something tells me that Tim Ream's go-to icebreaker is, "have you seen Vikings on the History Channel?"

    Sorry, dude. Skilled and Ream aren't really words that go together when it comes to international play.

    LOL at the McKinnie criticism.

    Goal aside he has not been great, but he has been light years better than Bradley.

    Bad for him, maybe. He has been active and aggressive on defense, but he’s been sloppy and had a few bad passes for sure (though no dangerous giveaways). But still he’s been head and shoulders above Bradley in the middle, who has been traffic cone city.

    Yeah, but Bradley and McKennie v. Mexico, that will get punished.

    These CUW guys are good. Nice dip on that shot at 31'.

    Is it too late to redo this hiring process? I don't understand how this squad is going win in spite of Berhalter against better competition.

    God damn Zardes' touches are HORRIFIC....it is criminal at this level.

    There's absolutely ZERO chance to combine with him. He's only good for direct pass and shoot.

    Did I just hear the Outlaws chanting "You - can - do - this"? :cautious:

    Because between that and "I believe that it is possible that we have the capacity to win", those guys have the lamest-ass chants.

    I wonder if some posters here know that all comments aren't predictive and comparative.

    I question that assessment. Cauliflower is not greater than cabbage. After all there is no such thing as "corned beef and cauliflower. So it could not be a "raise" but it could be a demotion.

    Pulisic's assist was a beaut. Top notch stuff.
