Jones was the master of the hard foul to exert a little physical intimidation on an opponent. Not always great at picking an appropriate time or place on the field for that hard foul. Lol.

So let's talk the Olympic qualifying game tomorrow vs. Mexico. Obviously it is a rivalry game and we always want to beat Mexico but what do you think Kreis decides to do? 1. start the best players and and try to push for 1st in the group with the potential of playing the semi final with a tired team. or 2. Rest some players knowing that a win isn't necessary for qualifying for the Olympics and go into the semi final with the best players rested.

Personally I think we find ourselves in the stronger group and think we should beat whoever we play so it shouldnt matter but its CONCACAF and anything is possible.

Just win baby.

US soccer is crying for success. We should still win even tired and with a different lineup.

He's going to sit Glad and Ferera since they both have a yellow card. Don't want them to get another and have to miss the must win semi's.

He should rest Yueil to keep him fresh for the semis as well.

I'd like to see Soto for 90 so I like him sitting Jesus.

Sit anyone on a yellow card, and the people that played the most minutes. So probably at least sit Yueill as well.

Jesus will sit as he's on a yellow card. You don't want to go into the semi's with only 1 striker available.

The other pool looks like a complete crap shoot as far as who will advance and who will be first, so there is no real advantage in winning, or losing, tonight. I expect both teams to sit their star players and be ready for the semifinals.

The other pool will all have to play all their best players, even those on yellow, to assure advancement, and have a day less rest, so Mex and US will have a big advantage going into semifinals.

Probably should give Vine's day off as well since he's played both matches. I suspect it'll be a pretty defensive set up from Kreis and probably be a boring game.

Both US and Mexico sitting players on a yellow, lots of pressure from Mexico early.

Hate to gift them that. Had actually settled into the game pretty well.

My U11 girls know not to make that pass, just brutal by Soto. Such a positive half up to that point.

For sure, but you'll still see a guy on an EPL team do it every matchweek.

It feels like we're reluctant to make the simple pass at times. There's been a couple instances where there was room to run on the wings and we force it back inside.

Like we knew before, the game ultimately didnt matter. Next game is what this whole thing was about. Win it and then we can worry about upgrading the lineup for the World Cup

It's been fun. It's crazy to think half this team is Olympic. age.
Dest is the man. Left back is locked down.
Sargent with the very nice assist.
Aaronson came in and looked good.
Brooks has been Brooks.

Would like to see this team with McKennie and Adam's.
oh no

i was impressed with Sargent and Aaronsen up top

the second goal was a great ball up to Aaronsen, headed to Sarget, great hold up play and dish to Aaronsen for the finish.

a couple of great finishes by Lleget to seal it.

back line Cannon, Brooks, Richardson, Robinson needed some work.

Dest is still a better 2 than a 3. I'd like to see Antonee step it up at 3 so Dest can take Cannon's spot.

Oh, I"m going to a girls high school soccer playoff game today. It'll be in a larger stadium that that one today.
Yes, I know it didn't matter because there were not fans, but I thought it was funny that it was in such a small stadium.

Nice to see us come in and just control a match start to finish even though there were a few lapses.

The future is definitely bright, Olympics could be interesting too if we bring Pulisic, Dest, Musah, Sargent, etc.
