Looked like a red card in slo mo

Thought this was a friendly

Lunging and scissors his legs from behind. They've made 3-4 tackles like that already

That's a caution minimum.

No attempt at the ball

Dangerous foul

And again?!? No card

O'Neil is out of control.

Lay someone the **** out

Is this a joke

He did get the ball

Still reckless...yellow minimum

When did sec refs start doing futbal

And just no fire from poch…what would you say you do here?

Richards got a nice chunk there

He was up off the bench yelling...
Correction, other coaches were...

On slow mo replay that didn't look as bad as live...but still let's get chippy and F some dudes up.

Also Richards is my captain...he's just got "it" and unless he's hurt he's wearing that arm band for the next decade for us

Love CP, but he clearly doesn't have the leadership fire that Richards does

You have to get your best eleven out there and get them reps. I'm not sure why we're still trotting out Roldan, McKenzie, and Miles Robinson.

Poch is treating this like preseason for a club team.

And how in the world does Diego Luna not only make the team but play?

I love watching USA international soccer more than any other sport on this planet.

But this team right now...I don't know. There is little fire or excitement. Something is missing. I don't know what's wrong, but this iteration is wandering in the abyss. Game after game I just kind of shrug my shoulders.

The poch era = no identity. I can't remember a time when we had less of an identity as a national team, aside from the team that missed the WC. We've always been a tough and very athletic team that will fight to the end, but with no finesse and lack of ball control. Give me that over whatever the **** this is.

We are going backwards. This was supposed to be an evolution in USMNT coaching. I blamed the first few games on roster experimentation, but that excuse is long gone. No matter who he trots out there, we just look discombobulated and not worried about it.

Agree completely. I wanted to give him time...but his tenure has just been a giant bag of 'meh'. We just don't seem to care at all. It's really frustrating.

We've definitely taken a giant step back.

I don't see Luna getting a ton of minutes in the tournament, but he's got more fire and attitude than just about anyone else in the pool. I don't mind him going as one of the last couple spots as a guy who will play a role in the future.

I think Jedi has a shout for the armband as well.

Wow!!

now THAT is a calm, clinical finish by Haji

Great quick restart by Roldan too

That was beautiful

That ball just FLEW off his foot.

Left foot this time

Nicely done

Hope they had a nice nap

very heads up. He has weaknesses in his game for sure, but two nice assists

I'm willing to be patient with Poch because I think we have had more of a player attitude/culture problem and that takes time and patience to recover/rebuild that.

Too many people think we can just pick 11 dudes playing at the biggest global clubs and roll the ball out there and play. Doesn't work that way.

that was a slick Croyff
