PBP: United States vs Trinidad & Tobago; 6/22/19; 8pm ET

If zardes had any instincts he probably gets that on his head.

 

Trinidad's defense is terrible. Look at all the holes they leave!

 

We're starting to pick it up. I like it.

 

Boyd is a definite bright spot for the US in this tournament....

 

the buildup looks great, best in a while, the finishing and play in the box leaves much to be desired.

 

didn't you hear? Stu said he's done an excellent job of moving the ball left to right..failed to mention T&T of course.

 

Because we have no top end talent on the field.

 

damn that guy just re-tear his acl? that would suck.

 

Wow they lost their captain, Hyland. We should beat them, come on.

I think that was the Cup for him, looks bad.

 

It's always hard to watch a player like Hyland come off in a match like this. It's clear that this team and this game means a lot to him... that must be an awful feeling.

 

harsh on Pulisic, McKennie, and Zardes' face

 

One thing that may be good: T&T is so bad that we may stumble through this with a comfortable win.After all we are playing a truly bad team on our home soil. That "should" mean a win by 4 or 5 so we will probably win by 2 or 3. We just really are that good.

 

true, CP's critical weakness is finishing and picking the final ball. and he's our best attacker.

 

Long diagonals.

 

I think it’s only fair we sub off Bradley then.

 

Genuinely torn, does this match deserve beers or Grappa? It's after hours party time here.

 

Actually I think Steffen is our captain today, no?

 

Pulisic is an above average supporting player. He needs top end talent around him to be effective.

 

All mentions of Gyasi's goal vs Guyana should be put in scare quotes

 

I said what I said and stand by it as a fair solution.

 

no need to push it to be honest. The 1st goal will open it

 

I am drinking whiskey so I can go to bed before this game ends.

 

The adventurous way Trinidad defends, it's just a matter of time.

 

T&T defending CP well by blocking him with several players and letting MB pass at will. Two good strategies.
