going against mexico in the concacaf nations league tonight

big 3-0 but it got wild at the end. i went to bed at the 50th minute when it was 2-0 and before all the extra curricular activities

lot of shoving resulted in four red cards and the game ended early because of slur chanting by the crowd, not great

canada on sunday for the title

Not a fan of his style of play. I wish the US would have gone another direction.

Another brace.

Feel so bad for Pulisic. Been hard done by Chelsea (/partly injuries), their xenophobic fanbase and obsession with a vastly inferior talent in Mason Mount.

Unfortunately, that will change once Berhalter is back. I honestly am dumbfounded he was selected.

Well certainly Berhalter never put Reyna in the central position he was in tonight. I think clearly that position is his best role.

Guessing going forward the US should be playing

Dest - Miles Robinson - Richards - Antonee Robinson

Tyler Adams - Yunas Musah

Tim Weah - Reyna - Pulisic

Balogun.

Balogun is a coup. What a world of difference it makes to have a competent 9.

Agree, however, my excitement level has actually dropped knowing fully well what Berhalter brings -- mediocrity.

It's an embarrassment to let his contract expire only for US Soccer to hire someone to lead in a coach search, which results in Berhalter.

This is the same coach who routinely had his players in unnatural positions, asking them to do what they weren't good at, instead of exploiting their strengths. And yes, not playing Reyna in the World Cup was beyond ridiculous when those who actually follow the sport can see how talented he is compared to other Americans.

We're happy being the best in CONCACAF and maybe hopefully winning a knockout game in the World Cup. Let us live, HIF!

ferreria with another hat trick! all he does is score goals

blew out t&t to win the group

Ferreira was the best player on the field by a mile. Most US fans, including me, struggle to have faith in him though. Taylor twellman / chris wondoloski vibes
