Game Thread: World Cup / USMNT Chat Thread

Weston McKennie and C Pulisic each scored in Champion's League action yesterday. Hope they can do a little more of that for USMNT.

Slightly off topic. A new women's super league is starting. Not sure how that will impact the NWSL, or how the new league might be able to survive, but it is not my money. The original idea was to be a second tier league just below the NWSL, which I could see. I wish them well.

International Break for guys to play for the National teams. Poch seems to be working them hard.
Here's hoping for the best.

First U.S. camp with Pochettino 'more intense'

Kickoff is at 8 against Panama. See if we can get the Poch era started off right.

 

[AUDub]

Been a slow game initially but in the 49th we turned on the jets and the opportunities are coming fast and hard. Musah puts us up 1-0.

 

[AUDub]

Turner with an incredible double save to keep us up.

 

[OakMtn4Bama]

Pretty good first outing. Keep working hard.

We have Mexico tonight at 9:30 on TNT. Should be interesting.

Looks like they made some changes after the Panama match. Pulisic is gone.

Gonna see if poch can beat Mexico with an arm tied behind his back lol.

 

[AUDub]

See Mexico is gonna thug it up a bit lol.

I like what I’m seeing from Busio. Glad he’s getting senior caps.

 

[AUDub]

This is a good roster for holdup but will be VERY bad at finishing.

 

[AUDub]

You can tell just how much of a step down in possession Scally is vs Dest. We really needs Dest back.

 

[AUDub]

Weak foul but that was a wicked strike.

I don’t see a lot of scoring on this US side so that doesn’t bode well

 

[AUDub]

Yeah Scally is in turnover machine mode.

 

[AUDub]

Get Aaronson and Scally out at half. They’re killing us.

 

[BhamToTexas]

I was traveling and unable to watch last night. I saw we lost 2-0. How was the performance?

 

[OakMtn4Bama]

Pretty good summary from ESPN. Bunch of starters not playing but still should have been more competitive.
