THAT is why Reyna should have started. The ability to keep ball under pressure and cross Blaming Jedi for the third is lame. Dude was run into the ground. Not his fault.
I would have loved to have seen what might have happened with all this talent with a coach who understand what the word “offense” means
Final USA 1 Netherlands 3 That is it for the young US team at the 2026 FIFA World Cup hosted in Qatar.
We weren’t “forced” to not rotate in the first three matches. We “chose” to give two of our top players, Reyna and Aaronson, zero starts, and chose to play Scally zero minutes.
Very naïve performance. This came down to coaching, tactics, and composure. Still have a lot of work to do in those areas. This has largely been a positive WC.
Experience over youth today. The Dutch were just better where and when it mattered. We were a lot more dangerous with Gio out there. The Oranje knew it, too. Every time he was in possession their ears perked up.
