Pre-match: USA vs Bolivia May 28th, 2018

Hamid and Horvath are probably on the Euro squad. Bono won't be.

 

Also, Bono is the only one of the three who is actually playing well for his club.

 

Euro games are during FIFA dates tho so he can call whoever he wants. I suspect we will see closer to our full first team in his eyes during those game. But that is a fair point. Either way I hope the GKs split time. 45 and 45.

 

Actually, I predict a total rout for Bolivia today: we'll win 4-0 or more. They're a lousy team to play in friendlies because they stop caring after the first 20 minutes, and get too tired to run after the hour.

So, big win, and Sarachan gets more points. I'm already making my peace with him staying for good.

 

Dude please don't joke about that...

 

The roster was announced a week before camp and we got the XI a few hours before the game.

F*** it, keep Sarachan on through Qatar

 

I like the 4-1-4-1.

 

Keep him until we make the World Cup again in Morocco '26.

 

you should stay away of words like everything, everybody, always, never, etc. then.

 

And the match isn’t being played at 13,000 ft elevation

 

More bits. Same boring deflections. About as fun as picking zits.

 

I’m sure it’s in this thread but did Bolivia bring their main team? I’m sure theyre experimenting a little bit.

 

Their team is even younger and more inexperienced than ours.

 

My imagination right meow:

 

Horvath has had some good games with his club recently.

 

If you think about it, the rest of the planet is unfair to Bolivia. They're guys from their local teams, who play and live at 13,000 ft.

For them, playing outside their country must be like for us playing under 10 ft. of water. Everything must seem so much... heavier.

 

No Green in the starting lineup is disappointing.

 

It may not start tonight but, Wes is going to end up captaining the USMNT for a decade.

 

Goodness gracious, nearly every American fan in a jersey here is wearing Pulisic's (Dortmund or US). The lack of originality is stunning.

 

11K lucky ones to see the beginning of our dynasty

 

Right now it's probably the only guy they know.

 

More likely the only guy worth spending the money on. I'm sure Wes will climb that latter but attackers are always going to sell more.

 

Shut your mouth

 

Arena's Sock is waiting for his personality instead of his soccer ability?

''I'd like to see his personality sort of emerge,'' Sarachan said. ''He's a quiet kid.''

I kid. If Sarachan continues to play the defensive 4-1-4-1 then Pulisic and Green are competing for the same ACM position.
