    Lovitz. Weird. I could have sworn they would pull arriola back a little and stick Sargent in there.

    Either Boyd has a knock or Berhalter is just a clueless, clumsy oaf.

    Left back for a left back? I'd rather have Bob Bradley as coach.

    WTF is a sub of Lovitz supposed to do? I swear he makes these decisions ahead of time.

    He should be back on the hot seat after this, after an improvement against Jamaica bought him good will. Even though losing in the final to Mexico (although b+ team) and not getting blasted is adequate, he's made really poor adjustments.

    Berhalter needs to be put on concussion protocol.

    What in the hell. He's botched all 3 subs. You're down a goal and you bring on a left back, like-for-like?

    Adams would just replace Cannon at right back. Your change wouldn't make a positive difference in Gregg's system.

    He’s a worse tactician that Jürgen. Good lord I never expected him to be this inept at basic stuff like “sub in attackers when losing”

    Absolute trash. He just picks his favorite players for subs. No thought process whatsoever.

    I can't wait for Berhalter to arrogantly express how smart it is to subbing a defender whose useless going forward when we are down by a goal with less than 15 to go.

    Pulisic had a clear pass in behind the d to Arriola at the end of another good mazy run. Does the hard but not easy part. He just won't release the ball. It's never the better choice, regardless of rationalization about teammates. They're a better option when open and he does the same thing at BVB.
