Both LD and Clint had wingers and outside backs that could cross the ball consistently.PatAg said:It doesn't matter how talented Pulisic, Reyna, Aaronson, and Weah are if the system isn't designed to play through them.

I find myself longing for the days when Bob Bradley realized the entire point of the team was to get the ball to Donovan and Dempsey.
Think most of us on here have said something that resembles this Tweet.
Link doesnt even work that I copied. No idea just went to first link on projected US soccer lineuptysker said:
That has to be old. Dest is no longer at Barca and Roldan is injured and is likely out of the WC

Matt Turner is the starting keeper no questions asked
Frustrating. Pulisic's got to be there for this lay-off, but he just loves dropping deep so much he takes himself out of promising attacking sequences. pic.twitter.com/OYFnrlrSrG

Dest --> rightfooted --> positioned too high on touchline reduces space

Pulisic --> drops deep for a passing option.

Long--> can't hit Pulisic ...bc he's RIGHTFOOTED!
Pulisic defender cheats.
Dest--> turns upfield into support defender pressure . WM breaks off run.
I'd say we're better in the final third, but McKenzie and others are losing the ball in the back a lot more too.KCup17 said:
Yup. Have been immensely better since the 65th minute. But still no quality service into the forwards.

Havent gotten to watch much of the 2nd, pretty lackluster going forward?
It could always be much worse, but for the sake of jinxes I won't say how.wangus12 said:
Not much else could have gone bad for the us in this break, especially with it being the last before the WC. Look like a shell of the team that was beating Mexico last year. I know they are missing some players, but the tactics look terrible and the players look way off form.
