PBP: United States vs Chile; 3/26/19; 8pm ET

the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result

 

Heavy touch Pulisic. Give it back to Zardes.

 

Well a total failure at the back and we are even again. I do not believe that anyone actually could think that Gonzales is even close to being able to play at this level. He is just able to kick in the general direction of the ball and watch as players and the ball pass through the space he is supposed to control.

 

Zardes and Pulisic combining

 

You can't have two lumbering CBs play together, especially in this hybrid back 3. This Gonzalez - Miazga pairing won't work.

 

That’s a more typical Zardes touch - right to nobody in blue...

 

Roldan and Pulisic not dropping back enough to help. Chile having a field day in the middle of the park against practically 1 defender.

 

I mean he set up one goal and Pulisic shoulda bagged another off a second great touch but sure pick that out.

 

SSDD. US loses midfield (MB90) and defense blamed. Pretty much same as WC qualifying.

 

Thought that was a nice play by Puli. Hard touch but he burned the defender when the defender originally had position

 

he's looking good in the center of the field so far

 

That's one of the better descriptions of Michael Bradley I've heard.

 

For 4 years it's been everyone else's fault.

 

Back pass by MB to a defender under pressure. Wow.

 

Feel free to check post history, I don't defend MB.

 

Hell of a pass by MB there.

 

Yeah- gotta give props to that. Good pass.

 

That was a nice pass by MB...credit where credit is due

 

Great MB pass to Baird. CP wastes the cross.

 

And Arriola should have put it back to pulisic, not cross it.

problem in this game is passing out of the back stinks.

 

Something about a broken clock comes to mind...

 

And that was a hospital pass from MB.

 

we'll see the passing charts for Bradley and trapp side by side after this window.
