Jakupovic finally gets a chance about 8 yards out and can't control a simple cutback cross... his touch rises above his head allowing the D time to confront. Dude has been pretty damn lazy on the press and is not running on balls over the top. WTF?
We haven't scored (about 20 minutes in) but the U.S. has shown up a bit in this half—certainly better than the first.
Fitting way for this one to end. Header off a corner makes it 0-4. Gotta regroup and be better for the rematch in a few days.
Tomorrow’s schedule: U-20: vs. North Macedonia U21, 8 am ET U-18: vs. Qatar U19, 11 am ET U-21: vs. Uzbekistan U21, noon ET
Dang, sounds like we were way below par against Brazil. How close to a first-choice team was that lineup? Were we leaving anyone at home? I'd assume most players close to first-team minutes wouldn't be released... I remember Jakupovic is supposed to be good. Spivey is from SJE. And IIRC Mbaye got that red card vs. DR that made things scary during WCQ. Otherwise, I have no idea. I'm bad with names.
I also asked AI, and they said it was pretty experimental since a lot of MLS talent wasn't released. That seems to make sense to me. Lots of European randoms too. Spivey better not get hurt, the Earthquakes need as many warm bodies as we can get.
Looks like Din Klapija had the goal. The video feed on YouTube cut to the scoreboard in the stadium, which showed the goal scorer.

I haven't seen any sign that we'll get the U18 game; we didn't get the last one. There might be a stream for the U21 game, since the previous one was available, but for me the link to that game is now blocked in the U.S.
Some rather casual play out of the back led to a deep turnover on which Uzbekistan was able to capitalize.

This one finished 1-0 to Uzbekistan. The U.S. had some promising moves upfield late, but nothing too threatening. Someone (I was only half watching) got ejected very late -- one of our guys, I think -- in the aftermath of a foul against another of our guys near midfield that looked pretty bad at full speed, a seeming elbow to the back of the head, though I don't think anyone was seriously hurt.
Next on the docket is our U-19's taking on Japan tomorrow (6/9) at 11 am ET at our new national training center. Maybe we'll get a stream.
Have heard that USSF is trying to broadcast the U-19’s game against Japan tomorrow from the new training center in Atlanta. Game is at 11AM ET. This would be the first broadcast from the new training center. This will also be the U-19’s last game before WCQ starts next month.— USMNTProspects (@ProspectsUsmnt) June 8, 2026
Still haven't seen if the Fed is going to stream this morning's match. But they may share it right before kickoff.
