After what the world saw earlier today they need to show that they deserve to wear the shirt.At risk of engaging in BS "intangibles" talk, it does feel like this team has more fire and has each others' backs more than USMNT squads of recent vintage.
He did really well tracking back on one of Mexico's best chances.What does Arriola do well? He appears to be bad at everything
There will be bloodThis atmosphere is awesome. They should just do a US-Mexico best of seven, Canada/USSR Hockey style, instead of the Gold Cup.
Defense and field coverage.What does Arriola do well? He appears to be bad at everything
Ahem.What does Arriola do well? He appears to be bad at everything
Suck immensely? Like I get that he runs hard, he can't shoot, he can't pass, he can't dribble, he constantly fouls, he's garbage.Ahem.
C'mon man, LB!I have a soft spot for Arriola, but I wish he had been converted to RB as a late teen and gone on to be a more technical Frankie Hejduk.
He just has not looked comfortable out there. Gets lost, caught running around, nervy.Morris having a tough time.
And to think he was an injury replacement on this roster! He's really seized the opportunity.Fine pass into the box by Canon. What a great half for the kid.
Wasn't Morris the next great player when he came out of Stanford? Another MLS victim, or just not as good as hoped?He just has not looked comfortable out there. Gets lost, caught running around, nervy.
They have respect for his pace, but no respect for his shot, so they're sticking to the threats and letting him cover space until he gets to a dangerous positionHow is Cannon repeatedly left with so much space? Pulisic drawing defenders?
He's fine-ish, blew out a knee in 2018, so that set him back. He was never going to be world class, but solid MLS attacking player.Wasn't Morris the next great player when he came out of Stanford? Another MLS victim, or just not as good as hoped?
And ohhhh no, arms don't bend like that.
Many injuries have stunted his growth. He is very good but not the elite player we hoped we had. Still young thoughWasn't Morris the next great player when he came out of Stanford? Another MLS victim, or just not as good as hoped?
And ohhhh no, arms don't bend like that.
The other thing about Morris is that his age cohort of US players was/is awful, so it was easier to get attention and hype because there were so few others to latch onto.He's fine-ish, blew out a knee in 2018, so that set him back. He was never going to be world class, but solid MLS attacking player.
He scored against Mexico when he was like 20 or 21, so his name got out there. Don't think he was expected to be elite, but a decent NT level player.Wasn't Morris the next great player when he came out of Stanford? Another MLS victim, or just not as good as hoped?
And ohhhh no, arms don't bend like that.
