Yeah, he totally could've been sent off for that. And in this game especially there's just no need for that tackle to be made.

Stu, Steffen definitely did NOT have that covered

What's the point of bringing 8 of these players if you aren't going to run them out in game

Dest is good enough to play on the left, but I think he just gives so much more on the right that you gotta play him there. I like Cannon's game too.

That's a garbage PK, not letting Gioachinni take one again

I could be reading into it too much, but I think Dest looks disengaged from the game because of it as well. He's been caught somewaht flat footed in defense at times, and you can see his frustration going forward as well. He's pretty expressive with his body language, which I don't mind.

Eh, it wasn't a good take, but you want your striker to want to take those. Looks like he overthought it.

Now it's looking like a Concacaf match.
oh no

all he had was hat trick on his mind. thinking too much.

Also, I'm glad McKennie is an a-hole. Every good team needs one of those. He just needs to make his a-holeishness not as obvious so he doesn't get sent off and can't go on being an a-hole.

very concacafy
I think we are actually getting outplayed this half, not that Panama is really playing well at all

Gonna happen with younger players, generally not quite as good at in game adjustments..though I think Panama looks to be pretty inexperienced as well

Yeah this second half has been a lot more physical. We aren't dictating play nearly as easy. They started pressing our backline possession and we haven't handled it the best.

Soto did a good job making the run, and seeing Weah...but just BLASTS it at him

Ledezma, great young talent, played very poorly since coming on
PERFECT cross in to Soto

remember the days of MB90 picking up a yellow in just about every game

Trying to find an angle to show that the Panamanian was offside on their goal reminded me of all the hours I spent breaking down terrible HS game film.
oh no

Like what I'm seeing from Gioaccini and Soto.

HOW did that Panama player get back up? He took that Weah blast to the family jewels

Those are some pretty passes in the box to set up those last series of shots!

Awful job by the keeper on that one but I'll take it. Really nice cross.

Soto with another header! We have dominated the last 8 minutes. That last sequence was great

I actualy like that this 2nd half has gone the way it has. There was a narrative growing that we had our 11 for the qualifiers. After they struggled for the first 20-25 of the 2nd half, and the subs have come in to play well, hopefully Berhalter didn't have it all locked in.

I know he is divisive, but I actually think Morris has grown into the kidn of player that could absolutely torment teams playing with this team. I hope he goes to Europe in the offseason, I think he could make a big impact in a top 5 league. What he does well, he REALLY does well

Have we found our 9?

1 Set piece goal (FK) and 5 headers. Yup, that's American soccer in a nut shell.

Soto just went to a horrible club situation after the U-20 world cup, and basically lost a year because of it.

Think its just 4 headers, Gioachinni's first was a putback goal

Well Gregggggg played 2 9s and the both got a brace. Imagine that.
PatAg

I'm actually open to trying a false 9 again in the future, he just has to play players in that spot and the rest of the attack that fit the tactics required.

It's not a bad thing to have multiple ways to play.
