I think Yedlin may be past his prime but he could be a thorn in Bale's side in a way Dest is not

I was about to send some praise his way too.

I hope we never see Cannon again.

My guess is Reyna was on a hard minute cap from an agreement with his club team, and we thought it would be better to give him the start of the game

B+ team? They're missing a couple key players, but a majority of these guys are apparently their first-choices.

Team has settled into not enough off ball movement, its not solely "moving the ball slow".
You gotta put the work in before the pass is made

If Arriola plays in World Cup, I will be very disappointed.

Agree with that. We move the ball so slowly that there are no openings at all

Adams great switch to Yedlin, Pepi makes a great, hard run inside his defender
Yedlin hesitates and waits to long to try to cross it, not good enough

We had about 10-15 minutes where we looked good, when we had decent movement and were finding runners with long diagonal balls. Other than that we've been pretty ass.

That was probably a penalty if we have VAR though, he stepped on Pulisic's foot.

You may as well get used to feeling disappointed now. You have roughly 60 days to let it sink in.

We wont be playing just 11 players in Qatar. There will be starters out for injuries. You need backups to absorb minutes so you dont wipe out your starters. Arriola is going to log minutes.

This team, playing this way, is headed to 0-2-1 and coming home to a new manager.

This high line they are running is not hard to break down. IDK why we are making them look like tactical maestros.

Yeah, but maybe he was drawing attention that opened other things up for others?

I have no idea why, just making an observation. We're not as positive since that switch. I really do hope it was mandatory.

Especially with 5 subs this year.

Wouldn't be the worst outcome for the next cycle.

I had resolved to be overly optimistic after these two matches, so I might as well also not be too pessimistic
Or try not to, at least

Just not fast enough. Trying to make the perfect pass instead of just playing. Long switches are nice though.
