Jedi is getting in good spots forward but keeps just basically dribbling the ball away for free

This ref is absolutely not going to let guys creep up twenty yards before making a throw in. I love it.

I'm ok with this high pressing them.

Yeah, really need to work on his technique. Been saying that since he first started playing with the US

Good defense. We're going to give up some chances. Just hold your fire.

Damned if they didn't just unlock our defense like we gave them the keys.

Musah sleepign on defense
whcih is not surprising because I find him to be a more attaacking playing and its weird we expect him to sit back with Adams effectively

Musah hasn't been good in Qatar…need to get him going or try something different

US pressing isn't bad, but don't let a quick shift across field give trippier a free run. As much as the front three and midfield can make stuff happen, Trippier is a huge key to Englands creativity.

Really not a fan of Musah and Pulisic first touch to be backwards and passing to the backline at all times, too restricted play
Play freely and attack

We need out midfielders to look up. Then we need a big switch.

Press up front, but don't get in a hurry when you have possession.

US wants England to complete more passes than Spain

This... our midfield needs to stop playing backwards! England is sitting on that!

We're absorbing pressure fairly well but don't have many ideas going forward yet.
La Bamba

We look tentative and hesitant

That was a good chance for USMNT.

Agreed. Looking like they're playing not to lose.

Clearyl been coached to try to cycle the ball to maintain some possession and alleviate the defense. Which is a smart thing to do, you just cant ALWAYS do that or its too predictable

Jedi seems to be our path forward

0-0 draw wouldn't be the end of the world.

Berhalter's instructions might have been "don't do anything stupid. no hero ball". I'm fine with that plan.

Need pulisic and/or one of the central mids to support Jedi more on his forays

Dest sucks in the offensive third so far.

Was that a pass or a shot?

Dest needs to be more patient.

Animated Pickford is annoying.

Can confirm.
PatAg
How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
Dest is just not playing up to his potential, which conicides with his form for his club
All it takes is for it to start clicking again at any moment though
promnisign attacking movements there
PatAg
How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
They are using Rice movement ot vacate the center and Bellinghand is getting the ball open in teh center now
we need to adjust

If we can get Pulisic and Weah running at their CB's in transition we can beat them. Maguire and Stones are not good 1v1.
La Bamba

Holy crap what a miss! That was a fantastic opportunity
birdman

Great build up. McKennie needs to bury that. That was rushed and sloppy.
