Pepi

[bukie]

Pepi out for Zardes, just so everyone can be reminded of what we've been doing at striker the past 4 years.

 

And so Pepi can go Sunday

Oh it's a tactically sound move as long as 2 goals is enough, which it should be.

 

Zardes plays great hold up ball but is just abysmal with the first touch.

[wolf stansson]

Hahahahahahahahahaha

 

Your foot gyasi your foot

[bukie]

Oh Zardes...

[wolf stansson]

Jesus Christ you can reasonably say pepi would have 5. Come on gyasi

[bukie]

Lost in most of this, Arriola has been the worst US player on tge field, again. Sure good to get 3 points and save legs, but he just gives nothing but energy.

 

Zardes blows a 4th chance...

[bukie]

Now we just need enough good health to have Adams-McKennie-Musah-Reyna-Pepi-Pulisic up front at the same time.

I know it’s Jamaica at home but this team looked legit as hell tonight. I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen this team consistently attacking with confidence and basically toying with their opponent.

Well as crappy as the start to this cycle was, US will be at the top of the table after 5 matches due to GD.

Panama could still get there if the come back but they’d have to win 3-1 to pass us on GD.

 

Looking like a very good night for us. Mexico and Canada tie as fo Costa Rica and Honduras. Panama losing with 20 minutes left so as long as they don’t win, we pick up 2 points on everyone close to us.

Canada in a good spot for qualification, having already played at the US and Mexico and getting 2 points.

You’d have to be a pretty badass squad to score 3+ goals in the second half on the road to erase a 1-0 deficit.

Excited for the MMA midfield, bummed I’m gonna miss most of it playing softball

 

I have heard they suck at softball. Definitely loving that midfield - Musah is the missing link in attack.

[stitchface]

This ref sucks

 

not as much as the announcers

[UMFan83]

Saw this on Reddit.... looking like 23 points will have us safely in and anything below 18 points would leave us unlikely to make the playoff.

 

[bukie]

Lineup is...I don't get it.

No Pepi is something but he’s played a lot of minutes lately between his club team and national team. Can hopefully sub him in later on

3 games in a week means you need to rotate, and unlike the last window its more important to win the 3rd game than the 2nd. You can quibble with a couple of the choices but from my view it’s on the margins given that theyre clearly saving their bullets, and this team is good enough to beat this panama group.

not in the first half they weren't. That was awful. Shaq Moore was terrible - and incredibly on that Turner give away at the end of the half, he is just casually jogging back. Where is the desire? Technically not anywhere near good enough and the off the ball movement and spacing was abysmal.

[wolf stansson]

Let’s go please

[UMFan83]

Time to get to work to salvage a point

[wolf stansson]

Is Gyasi doing this to punish Gregg?

[wolf stansson]

Zero shots on goal.

[UMFan83]

Win on Wednesday otherwise we’re back into disaster territory

[bukie]

Everything about this game, lineup, play style and coaching angered me. I hate that this happened, and was completely unnecessary.
