Hey at least we’ve already qualified for 2026 right…

Cant believe I'm going to say this but Lalas was finally right about something. Pulisic with his back to the goal is not where he needs to be. Get him moving forward at all costs please. Anyone know if Zardes would be in that top Center position or if he's no longer an option?

He’s been dealing with an injury, otherwise he absolutely would have been called up.

Are you allowed to have midfielders that touch the ball?

 

[Bucklion]

I am enjoying the Telemundo guys as always

I wish I could follow a Spanish convo…I would watch everything I could

what midfielders… there’s no midfield to speak of

I think Zardes adds a lot more to this team than most fans admit (including me and my shin-goal jokes).

They have no answer for the high press. The entire midfield line should be wide open, and we continue to try to build out of the back, which plays into their press.

He's sorely missed right now in my humble opinion. Need someone to scare the opponent so they'll quit hamstringing Pulisic whenever he gets near the ball

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

LOL… hard tap.. the looks like he just had a vertebrae snap

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

The inability to pass out of the back against even the slightest pressure is simply embarrassing. Bring back the b-side from the gold cup.

Even if he doesn’t do shit except let other guys work how they’re supposed to, he’d be helping

 

[Bestbuck36]

Damn. I always thought that was a high kick when you go for a ball like that in traffic?

 

[Bucklion]

stretcher guys look like they double as bioterror medics…Jesus

 

[TooTall]

More walking around from the defensive mids while the back line deals with press. Acosta needs to be dictating the possession back there, instead he disappears.

 

[Bucklion]

Does Sargeant do anything? I don’t want to knock the kid, but it seems like 40 minutes go by and I forget he’s even out there
