Back home. Still depressed/angry/sad we didn’t come back with a win.
I feel like I want all the scathing takes as if the Bucks just lost The Game.
Here, I will make it worse. This team never showed us anything this cycle to give us reason to believe we could beat Belgium.
We got pushed around by a Germany in disarray just a bit ago.
I think the real problem we have is our golden generation here more or less thinks their rhe shit and as they got to their prime it would just work. And we have a lot of really gifted players, and largely not soft guys... but as a group, they're soft.
Now its not just the players, the Federation fucked up by bringing Berhalter back (I know I wasn't opposed to it at the time, but I dont get the big bucks) but they also took what , effectively a year to do it, then dragged their feet a little more when it was obviously not going to work so, I can't even say it was also the coach because he had a compressed time window and didn't have to qualify so i mean grade incomplete...
... But then thw game.... can someone explain to me why the 3-5-2? I mean clogging the MF up didn't help, and this is a 4-2-3-1 coach and it didn't feel to me like they were comfortable in thei patterns of play and that frustration kept building rather than figuring it out. They changed when Gio came on and it got better but they brought 18 forwards and you're gonna use 2 so you can have another MF? Looked like Belgium couldn't believe their luck? They were unfocused and unprepared, that somewhat on poc..
And this doesn't have to do with which round we went out it, we could have gone through against a different opponent, and got stomped the next round, the point is how this all went down and we shouldn't be surprised
So where are we well, the folden boua will be in their early 30s. I don't think thats bad. If you ask Messi he'd probably clainlm he was never in a world cup in his 20s. But thats the perspective that comes with age, and these guys need to realize its now or never.
