Keeper has me a bit concerned for the next round of games.

Need to keep an eye on Man City game today v. Palace to see if Steffen makes the bench at least.

Horvath played this weekend for Nottingham Forest and got another clean sheet, so looks like he will come into camp in good form.

Turner still out for Revolution.

Sean Johnson has been playing pretty well too.

I think we'll be fine in goal as long as Robinson, Zimmerman and Adams stays healthy in front of whoever is in goal.

It's crazy how easily the US could finish 4th.

Game 1: Mexico beats US; Panama beats Honduras
Game 2: US/Panama tie
Game 3: US/Costa Rica tie + Canada has clinched #1 and lets Panama win.

we've definitely left way too much meat on the bone going into the final round.

Think we're were 2 points behind schedule (21 vs 23) if we went by the win at home and draw on the road mantra

11 matches played so far:
5 away - 5 points
6 home - 16 points

This despite Reyna playing only 1 match so far, McKennie's Covid protocol suspension, Pulisic missing number of matches.

You're talking the individual national federations/teams or CONCACAF? Because that's two different things.

Of course I meant the teams in the concacaf because they're the ones that colluded. But i can see where my verbiage could be confusing.

You mean Trinidad and Tobago colluded with the other teams and agreed to beat us?

Only collusion needed in 2018 was for us to fall on our face in T&T that night. Now I could see Omar Gonzalez being named as a colluder....

Dempsey was in on it and purposely sent his shot off the wrong side of the post. *******.

We were in with a loss and then every single thing that needed to happen to get us out happened. And there was a goal that they counted that wasn't even a goal.

So yeah, they colluded.

And you'll notice I said if we give them a chance they will again.

This might be overly Anglophile on my part, but I have a tough time believing Canada will take part in collusion.

I don't think it would have to be collusion from Canada. Just "we're in and just want to get some of our bench guys some experience in the last game".

I think Canada wants to make a statement and finish 1st without losing any games.

We beat Panama at home, and we overwhelmingly likely to qualify. Good chance we finish 2nd too.

Just control what you can control.

Dont play anyone sitting on a yellow card against Mexico. Play an ugly game and see if you can get a tie.
Go all out at home against Panama and get a win.

So just win the freakin' matches and you got nothing to worry about. Why would we want to put ourselves in a position where we need help from other teams?
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

That's what, "if we give them the chance means".

Not really big news, it was either CBS Sports Network or Paramount. Big news would be airing on CBS.

Over/under on piss filled bottles thrown their way is 10.

My guess on the roster:

GK - Steffen, Horvath, Johnson
D - Dest, Robinson, Robinson, Zimmerman, Cannon, McKenzie, Vines
MF - Adams, Acosta, Musah, De La Torre, Lleget, Busio, Roldan
F - Pulisic, Weah, Reyna, Aaronson, Pepi, Pefok

Don't see any new faces in the roster as this is a must win window

I know the world would be up in arms, but even if he's not scoring, Sargent is playing well for NC.

Most minutes of the top league in the world than everyone else combined.

I think we see Sargent too. We'll call in more than the 23 in case something happens.

I think we need Brooks as Long has no match experience with this group.

Yeah, I think Berhalter will bring in more than 23 which means Sargent will get called in. Hoping Scally gets called in as well as Vines/Bello to provide more options for LB. Not sure what other MF options are there or even needed.
