This is true, but throwing out a lineup to minimize our class, speed, and skill was a loser from the beginning.

It's like our forward pairing is idiotic and impotent, allowing Argentina to press us and compress the game.
Other than Wondo this is probably the best to be done given the roster and suspensions. Could really have used players who didn't suck in place of Wondo and Kitchen though.
Before that Bradley turnover that led to the fast break, I counted 5 in a row. Of course, each was a bad touch that put the receiving player and the rest of the team in a progressively worse position until Bradley coughed it up with two guys on him and no one back to cover.
Well, Pulisic and Nagbe couldn't play with any less composure. Not much to lose at this point.
Yeah, if we're going to lose, might as well have some younger guys get reps under pressure against top-level competition.
Of course the sad answer is that Wondo will be our starting CF in Russia in two years.
Yeah, those weren't passes so much as panic touches that went towards someone else in white.
You need to be tight defensively against top teams. But you can't be so defensive that you can't possess the ball and/or attack. No one can absorb that much pressure for that long.
I regret my comment about Beckerman and Messi earlier because I just realized there's a good chance Aguero will be on later.
Every time we get the ball anywhere near our box we fire it downfield like a desperate icing attempt.
good thing Ashlyn Harris sent him on the break. Tremendous placement but it probably should be saved.
