i'm fairly new to paying attention to the usmnt, so i don't get those references

is it because ferreria can light it up against lesser competition but not against better teams? i suppose there is probably a reason he's still in the mls and not in europe

Exactly. MLS all star and that’s about it.
He had a fair chance in the World Cup to prove his worth and instead did the opposite, so most US fans will not give him much credit for a single thing he does this tournament vs concacaf teams.

Still, he’s only 22 and has time to change this. I wouldn’t bet on it but I’d love for it to happen.

couple really late goals and usa/canada are going to extra time

wow, tied it up on an own goal

usa got it, by the skin of their teeth

Nothing quite like CONCACAF!

is brandon vazquez an alright player? he seems to be pretty clutch if nothing else

finally on the wrong side of a close call and lost to panama

don't know how many of those guys have a decent shot for the world cup team but got them some decent experience either way. good for turner to face some shootouts i suppose

I kind of like Cade Cowell. Hopefully he can develop into a bench option.

roster for september.
read some of berhalter's comments about it/the team generally and i'm not entirely convinced he's gotten the reyna situation properly handled nor am i convinced he's planning on using reyna in the best way for the team's success

Of course he hasn't and won't.

Herculez Gomez was right when he said Berhalter should have never been brought back if the USMNT had even a shred of ambition.

was there no other good candidates out there who wanted to do it?

US Soccer is incompetent.

Aside from that, I'd love to see us play like a 3-4-3. Balogun up front with Reyna and Pulisic just behind. Musah and Adams in midfield flanked by Weah and Dest as wingbacks. And then dealer's choice on the back 3 (Ream, Richards, and maybe A. Robinson just to be even more buccaneering).

missed most of the start (including the goal!)

let's quit messing around in our own box!

sounds like uzbekistan has played pretty well today

goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow pepi put some mustard on that kick

aaronson looks like he's going 10% harder/faster than everyone else. so much energy in that guy

pulisic knocks in a penalty!

balogun knocks in the rebound!!
