The Defense is super suspect

Arfsten is a huge liability out there on defense.

I have a burgeoning Tillman man crush

Luna needs to be on the WC roster if not for a super sub role. He brings way too much energy to be left out.

Took an early lead, but ended up losing the Gold Cup final to Mexico, 2-1.

Yeah and I think there are still a wide array of things to be concerned about but this was nothing like the friendly tune ups. Blech

It'll be tough/fun to gauge the team before the WC. Hope the federation has some solid tune up fixtures, I'm still optimistic with the A squad.

Tom Brady, smartest man alive or early CTE? You decide

So next summer is going to be really embarrassing on our home soil, huh.

Poch Out.

Man, I don't even know what to say, because, well, I don't really know wtf he's doing.

What my best guess is though, we shouldn't be debuting Triston Blackmon with 7 friendlies left. I don't have any opinion on this guy as a player one way or the other other than he's 29 and probably would have learned to bite as a pup... larger point being, from what I can deduce, the CB's and DM's really need to be on the same page (and that lets you get away with a lot of other chaos) but we need to start figuring out WHO those guys are and for better or worse they need to be the ones getting minutes. Did we need to start Josh Sargent again to see that this just isn't his thing? And I have trouble believing we're at the Cristian Roldan portion of the depth chart.

I actually wish we had the urgency of needing to qualify.

Feels like next summer is approaching fast and we’re dicking around with no direction.

Another wasted window loading…

We’d win the World Cup if they played every game in Columbus.
