It still feels somewhat surreal that the last World Cup ended only three months ago.

I hope so. Pulisic has come out very strongly supportive of Berhalter in the whole affair, and also in terms of progress of the USMNT in general and in how Berhalter handles players including Pulisic himself. And Tim Ream is acting as the elder statesman, trying to smooth it over and get them looking forward.

Not sure who it is - I think it was Pulisic - can actually carry a tune pretty well (on Star-Spangled Banner). I think he plays guitar also, so maybe does a little singing with his guitar playing.

This is kind of a sad game

chris thebassplayer · Mar 24, 2023

Cakewalk game, but nice to see how Scally looks at LB...Mckennie playing in Adams' role...I like Luca and Gio in the middle.

Kaitlyn · Mar 24, 2023

This game is ass

Kaitlyn · Mar 24, 2023

We should be slaughtering these fellas. On the other hand, Pepi is a straight baller. We've got some serious fire power at 9.

I hope Zendejas and Sonora get onto the pitch together with Pepi up top!

I don't think any games are cakewalks after the this/that track record the US has.

The chemistry for our midfield is really solid, even the though our D is B level, we're connecting really well. Big disparity in talent between the two sides...and for once we're playing to our level instead of down to theirs.

I don't like our defense at all. I think they should have called in Zimmerman and Long but with the MLS taking no break this week and next, clubs said no to some guys.

Kaitlyn · Mar 24, 2023

I hope we score 10 though lol

chris thebassplayer · Mar 24, 2023

Of course, you actually need to pretend to be interested in playing some amount of D...ugly tuned out moment for the D...
