Just sucks to be playing a must win game in these conditions. Maybe it will work to our advantage. Who knows. Still sucks.
USMNT: Hold My Beer
- Thread starter Titans Bastard
- Start date
This is correct and makes a lot of sense and I will ignore it and jump to conclusions anyhow.
Of course this is the match where Berhalter makes subs. Not that it may not be warranted and/or driven by injury but the elements of a disaster are starting to be present
There are certain things to like about the lineup. Pepi is back in, Weah is back in, McKennie will be the driving force. Some injury replacements here and having CP as the late game super sub if needed is fine by me. I'm excited to get a longer look at de la Torre for the USMNT.
Of course, as TB alluded to, these conditions make it impossible to draw any sort of conclusion.
1-0 win with no more injuries and I will be happy.

It occurs to me that the last Honduras game was the one where Berhalter had his disastrous Galaxy Brain 3-4-3 before fixing it at halftime.
Hopefully the end result of this idiocy is as nice as that 4 - 1, but it’s wild that we can’t play either of our matches against the bottom table team of the Ocho without stepping on a rake that we ourselves put there.

I'm more surprised by de la Torre starting to be honest.
That said, I would rather Morris have made his start at Canada.
I'm not, as it was rumored earlier, but I'm happy with it. He deserves a chance. I'd rather Morris not start until he gives us a reason to start him, which definitely has not happened.
We just don’t have the creative wingers to make a 433 work. Who is Morris going to beat in a 1 v 2 on the dribble?
If he hadn't played 180 min already, I'd say Dest at RW and flip Weah over to LW
I know I’m higher on him than most, but Konrad as a LW against a low block could bring something useful. His 1v1 dribbling is his best attribute.
Even with 20 VAR checks and a compound fracture that’s carted off.
I like that he’s trying not to let it get CONCACAF violent, but he doesn’t seem super good at getting the calls right yet.
