To me the lineup is more last 6 minutes of the 4th quarter in a blowout bench emptying, except starting in a playoff game.
Yeah I am not saying we shouldn't complain about the choices. The media has set expectations to be best XI every match...even when we should be expecting almost the entire roster to play a part in these games. My expectations are to win, we have the better team even with rotating. Like I said above, Gold Cup final + Musah, Weah should be solid.
The good thing about depth is that it keeps players hungry. Even Pepi, we should hope for a big game from Zardes to keep pressure on our youngster.
I think is good that Dest is not playing. I don't mind Bello, he defends pretty well. Miles exclusion is not logical for me unless he is hurt. I don't mind the midfield. Hoppe should be playing as the LW and Weah as the RW.
That he got verrry lucky El Salvador and Canada weren't worse outcomes... and the lessons learned forced him to change his approach.
Doesn’t look like they even managed to come anywhere near selling this game out. So it’s a shitty field but not really raining at kick with a maybe 70% sellout crowd (that’s generous). We should win this game.
Are we going to get the SAP feature for this match or must we suffer through the incomprehensible gibberish?
Would have preferred Yedlin and Hoppe with a start. Otherwise I like the rotation. Our Euro guys especially won't hold up well starting every game. This is the smart move.
There’s always a story with more context. Other teams stories are nothing new. When is the last time we were first in Qualifying?
