I can honestly see the logic. Conditions are miserable, the soccer will likely be pretty basic as a result, and Zardes might be the best “hold it up up top or run in behind” guy for playing that kind of match.What in the fuckity fuck. Does Pepi just not like the cold or are we playing for the tie
I’m not too upset by it. This is among the strongest lineups we could put out there. There could be debate about the CBs, but as long as it’s two of Miles/Zim/Richards I’m fine with it. My preference is Pepi at the 9 because he’s shown an ability in a US shirt to finish crosses. Zardes is a better fit than Ferreira given how the team has attacked.I can honestly see the logic.

It's on Telemundo if you have it.I just realized this isn't on traditional TV. Ugh. If anyone has a reliable link to pass on, I'd appreciate it.
Oh fantastic. That'll work. Thanks for the heads up.It's on Telemundo if you have it.
Ya, we have seen CP more in 15 min than the entire 90 the other nightCrappy goal aside, I’m not mad at the US start here. Pulisic looking aggressive, cheesy dive just now aside.
I mean, it’s pretty icy out there.Like a playoff hockey game, the ref has swallowed his whistle both ways.
Save this comment so you can repost it for the first half of every USMNT game these days.I think the US actually looks decently creative and connected here, they’re just not executing in the final third to get good finishing looks.
I dunno, most of this qualifying they’ve looked like hot garbage in the first half. This is an upgrade as far as offensive dangerousness.Save this comment so you can repost it for the first half of every USMNT game these days.
He has been excellent. But they're going to need him to start taking some more chances pushing up. They're dominating possession but not creating chances.Dest has been really defensively responsible today.
He's done a nice job keeping possession while dribbling forward, as well.Dest has been really defensively responsible today.
