That first set piece delivery from Reyna was worse than every single one from Lletget last game, which people still complained about. Preceded by notably nice work by Dest in tight spaces.
He plays safe to burnish his personal portfolio. His non threat v Mexico in Gold Cup together with incompetent McKennie on that right side meant Tata could totally ignore that side and go at our left. In the friendlies he left our mids hanging when they needed an outlet on offense which meant he sat back an collected defensive stats. A lot of the time, people dont really understand what they are looking at. We have a way to go. My beef is that Cannon seems to be getting treatment nobody else gets when there are already many rb's in MLS just as deserving. Duncan or even the guy who replaced him at FCD (recently injured) not to mention others? There seemed to be this herd mentality about doing for Cannon what they couldnt get done for K. Acosts. Fact is K. Acosta was not all that good and I said so and took all kinds of crap for it while K. Acosta just kept hanging around the neck of the team like a dragging anchor. Another bad rb/lb was Chandler. Same deal. Got banned for criticizing him but by golly he just had to get called in. Didnt the fact that he went to finals in Brazil and didnt play a single minute mean anything to US Soccer. Nope. Had to have Chandler along for the ride and anybody not on board with that goes to exile in Siberia. End of rant.
Bayern is a shit club. Second best in their own city. Remember that Gregg played for 1860. He has zero respect for the red.
Looks like a very reasonable lineup with a real #9 with pace leading the line. Would have loved to start with Weah wide and Richards at CB instead of Ream but all in all I am happy!
God Damnit. Last time I ever predict big things for someone, I cursed Llanez... This is dark and I don't like saying it, but that entire sequence was a very good Pulisic impression...
Llanez should have stayed on the sideline so someone else would have taken that shot. You'd have to say nice patience & vision on that Cannon cross. Deserved an assist.
Big yikes. Gotta convert those chances, Uly, or you'll get burned on the other end. Weak defending all around.
