PBP: United States @ Panama; 10/10; 6pm ET

He looks very, very shaky.

 

Poor by Turner there

 

Don't think Turner can be the starter long term. Too weak on his feet and not aggressive enough on crosses. Stays on his line too much.

 

The second one was a clean slide tackle. The first should have been a red, after Jamaica came out to foolishly press. Then they backed off. We also may have had more trouble breakin& down 10 because then they would have committed.

 

and again.

 

The first two hit Zimmerman's head & the next two were back post.

 

lletget has less verticality than a doormat

 

The second one was more clearly a red than the first. Agree to disagree.

 

Can’t he grab a cross?

 

Unfortunately Turner is proving you wrong. Lot of pressure

 

Yep, MOTM so far for the US

 

MLS have plenty of good passers. Berhalter just doesnt value them. He wants dribblers like Acosta and Musah. He really believes.

I'm going to switch to Canada at this point because this game is really bad and Herdman has his gang playing real football. I mean, Bello? McKenize? Acosta? Moore? All the MLS projects on the pitch at once and they look awful.

 

He started the game as Turner The Gray.

He'll come out of it Turner The White.

 

Arriola covers back defensively for Moore and does well. But we look shit

 

These first three guys you list are doing nothing, so weak technically. You can’t play them all together.

 

Since the couple of turnovers, Musah has probably been our best player (low bar) outside of probably Zimmerman.

 

I honestly think it would be tough to roll out a worse lineup with the squad available. Hopefully we make it to halftime and we see some changes.

 

Dest for Moore please.

I’d still rather have Moore than Yedlin

 

This is a grind. Let 'em dominate, but the point is keep it 0-0 until the subs in the 70'.

 

This is joyless. We're not even playing some sort of defensive game plan. We're just playing crappy with crappy players because our manager is a moron.

 

Lleget is like playing with 10 men just kinda jogs around and plays the occasional back pass.

 

LOL

 

except every time he passes the ball it goes to the other team

 

We haven't scored a first half goal in qualifying yet, and that's looking unlikely to change today.

 

Lots of candidates but worst pass goes to bello.

 

I've traveled to Panama several times, once during Halloween.

I don't recommend it.

The Day of the Dead (the day after Halloween) is in a word - dead.

Unlike in Mexico which is a big party, in Panama almost everything is closed, and alcohol is verboten.
