    to my eyes, it's dark on our end, but brighter on Australia's end

    If anything that was a foul on Pulisic. The whole team just feels s..l..o..w tonight.

    I do like the athleticism of this back line compared to anything we roll out with Ream back there.

    Way too much standing around going on. Some guys already winded out there.

    Every team in the world has a hard time breaking that down. That’s why inferior teams always play that way.

    And more bad defense and poor goalkeeping. We just are not any good at defense.

    1-0. Australia. That is embarrassing comical defending.
    And that is what happens when you goof around and don’t put your foot on the neck of an opponent that you are superior to.
    Humiliating

    Watching the ball.

    clown defending there. This game is already a huge step back from the Ecuador performance.

    Australia barely trying to play yet up. Maybe a smidge of urgency to create some chances now.

    Yeah, that's what immediately came to mind for me too. They're taking lessons from the u-20s on defending throw-ins.

    It’s what happens when you keep heavily rotating and throwing some experimental players in. Lack of cohesion and some guys just lack quality.

    It was a weird bouncing ball that was contained but bounced off Roldan.
