Oh well...

 

[Bazza]

The problem is that this is a team that can absolutely punish us for the way we've been defending. Against lesser teams Weston or Adams would have been there to contest that cutback pass to Depay, but the Netherlands are too quick for our midfield to get caught behind on the initial run.

Case in point right there......

Man Zimm is having a bad day.

Yeah. Get him out. Get CCV out there.

This is how I feel every time I invest any emotional capital in the USMNT:

Something we used to tell our kids in rec league and travel ball soccer: You will miss every single shot you do not take. We had some decent looks where the shot never materialized.

 

[major tidefan]

Zimmerman and Ferreira out.

Turner doing work there. Feels like it’s 15 on 11.

Saw a tweet from a soccer pundit noting that, down 2-0 in the knockout phase, the US does not have a striker on the pitch. Aaronson?

GOAL USA! 1-2 75’ Basically an accidental goal off Wright but we’ll take it!
