USMNT: Hold My Beer
- Thread starter Titans Bastard
- Start date
Didn’t they mention these are the first two goals from set pieces during the WCQs? Or am I imagining things.
It’s almost like McKennie trusts Adams too much he’s done a much better job of truly playing box to box tonight
These conditions theoretically would harm LDLT's game more than some other players, but he's making the most of his chance.
Acosta has also been great. I really like him as the backup 6. Just don't play him as the 8, please.

He’s done a passable impression of Berhalter’s fantasy deep-lying playmaker.
100%. Cannon seems like maybe the only sub not paying dividends yet. Pepi has been quiet as well.
So do you put Pulisic in at some point, just to get him some looks at goal and a chance to bust out? Or not risk him in the weather and a Honduras team that won't be scared to foul him as the clock winds down?
I say put him in.

We got good Acosta (I disagree with Stu's take that he's Kellyn is consistent- he's either great or terrible)
Wes is a beast
Sure is nice to have Weah back
LDLT is a nifty player
This isn't really a Jordan Morris kind of game.
Pepi is working hard and getting in the right spots, but he still seems to be pressing for a goal (totally understandable)
Gotta imagine Honduras is considering just leaving at this point. Right now, I think leave CP on the bench the full 90. Maybe consider a Dest for Jedi sub at some point.

For real. Acosta is one of the highest-variance players we have. Though TBF part of that is when he's used at the 8 he generally hasn't been good.
The Ticos are on the verge of a huge 7-point window. They’re up 1-0 in the 79th minute, keeping the pressure on US and Mexico.
Mexico is three dropped points away from crisis mode.

I think Costa Rica is mostly something for the loser of the Mexico-Panama game (or both if they tie) to worry about, moreso than the US.
LDLT has a bit more defensive bite than I though he would. Not a monster in that aspect, but putting solid tackles and pressure in.
McKennie + Dybala a couple weeks ago (scroll to 1:35):

He’s been playing as a dual pivot this season so this part of his game probably has taken a step forward
Am I seeing things or does the US really dislike wide change of field passes. Berhalter thing?
Maybe GGG wants Pulisic to find some joy against a tired and downtrodden Honduras team to help him get his mojo back, but I'd just sub in Arriola to a game like this.
it would be great to get a third and sub him off. He’s played a ton recently with both club and country.
