    A few, but I believe the two Malaysian Super league games already concluded. Was that what you meant?

    Finally, Cannon has been the superior RB to Moore …

    not sure what it’s gonna take for Lletget to be dropped, I don’t understand..

    I saw some people talking up Vines, glad Beerholder has seen the light 5 games in.. need some speed of thought and Vines is slooooow

    Pretty standard, happy to see Williamson get a real test.

    I don't really understand the Bello move. He only had one game, Gregg clearly sees Vines as a legit option for the A-team 23, why not have him tested against a top team?

    Shocked as shit to see Bello over Vines. But Vines might be completely toast at this point. Otherwise, strong roster. I hope Arriola has a lot more in him than he had for most of the game on Thursday. Glad to see Williamson in place of Busio. I like Busio, but Williamson I think is the better fit against Mexico.

    Without a doubt Vines has been one of the worst constant starters, I think he’s even behind Lletget

    Going to need some type of attacking play from that position

    Bello only had the one game, but unless he does a 180 you won't see any attacking play from LB today, either. Even if you do, you might see goals come down his side after.

    Really? I don't mind Zardes, Williamson, and Cannon, but Bello? We need a defender and he struggles with the defending part of LB.

    Zardes = predictable change

    Cannon=understandable change given mileage on Shaq this tournament

    Bello=interesting, but understandable change given Vines mileage

    Wiliamson=interesting change, but I get it.

    Guess we are saving Busio, Gio for substitutions. Both have game changing potential, so lets see whats up.

    Question is, who is the safe pair of hands in the midfield to start in his place?

    - Expected Zardes to start
    - Was 51/49 he'd go w/ Williamson over Busio
    - 50/50 Cannon over Moore, if that was a dilemma
    - Bello over Vines is shocking, to the point I wonder if there's an injury. Not a big fan, but he has been a plus on d & has been our 3rd highest rated player per Sofascore. I'm worried Bello will get torched in combination & not rise to meet the moment. Maybe this is further experimentation, where Gregg is thinking he's seen enough from Vines.

    You're not happy with the lineup? I'm concerned about Bello but otherwise it's good.

    Zardes is going to be a non factor today.

    Except for Bello, I am modestly surprised the line up wasnt worse. Williamson, Hoppe, Zardes all solid choices here. I do hope Arriola isnt a drag here. As for Bello, I am quite surprised. We shall see I suppose

    Is kickoff actually at 5:30 Pacific? Graphic suggests 9 EDt/ 6 Pacific, which would fit
