Bradley gotta go too. He refuses to play with any tempo. Just wants to make back passes.

 

[kella]

I'm so fucking sick of Zardes and his lead touch.

 

[Soonerfan09]

I feel bad for Zardes. He just can’t.

Wtf happened to Teflon?

 

[kella]

I feel bad for him too. He just seems to be asked to do things outside of his skillset. To that end I'm not sure what his skillset is...

 

[fried rice]

We look good but who the fuck us Lovitz? Why can't we ever have a good left back? Rip DMB

Oh that’s the backup left back for the Montreal Impact in my FM19 save, he broke his spine two games into the season.

Taking a half day and then drinking until I can’t feel feelings anymore so the loss tonight won’t matter

Apparently Jozy is fully fit and GB still isn’t playing him?

 

[bruin]

Fourth of July weekend starts tonight when we smash the reggae boyz dreams

Pls god don’t start Zardes

 

[kella]

Bailey gon poop on us while Zardes sprays first touches into the 20th row

RIP

 

[bruin]

No Zardes.

Drink poured. J rolled. Boardshorts on.

Let’s go

 

[Soonerfan09]

Good grief.

 

[fried rice]

Christ how did they not put it in there!

 

[bruin]

Our finishing

 

[Soonerfan09]

Team looks pretty good tbh.

 

[fried rice]

GOOOOAAALLLL

 

[silverwheels]

Lacrosse name FTW

 

[bruin]

Should be up 3-0

Of course this will come back to haunt us

 

[bruin]

Get Arrilelloaaaa the fuck out of my life

 

[fried rice]

Look how pussified sports have become! Back in my day, you'd just stay on the field like a man and everyone knew to step over the guys who'd gotten hit by the lightning.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Pulisic

 

[DeadMan]

Pulisic is on another level than anyone else on the field.

Our passing is real shitty. Not a huge fan of the Bradley-McKennie pairing. I feel like McKennie would benefit from a more defensive midfielder with him. McKennie seems to get caught up field a little too much for a 4-2-3-1, and Bradley can't cover that space - let alone any space at this point.

 

[kella]

I'm not a huge fan of Bradley at all. We need another 6. He's been playing forever, is slow as fuck, and seems to despise forward passes that aren't 70 yard long balls (one of which was pretty good on the goal but that's an anomaly).

 

[fried rice]

BAM!!!

 

[DeadMan]

Zardes

 

[Soonerfan09]

That wasn’t even close.

 

[jdlikewhoa]

Mother of God. Zardes bad

 

[DeadMan]

Yeah, he's 31 and his legs are gone. I think you could play him at the base of a 4-3-3 with McKennie and a destroyer, but he can't cut it in a 2 man midfield anymore.

Plus, you don't want him starting at the next World Cup when he's 34. Get through some growing pains with someone else right now instead of 2 years from now.

 

[Orlando]

Bradley has played like he’s 41 forever.

 

[kella]

A zardes giveaway leads to a goal what a shock

 

[fried rice]

Fuuuucckk

 

[DeadMan]

That was so sloppy. There was one guy that cross could have gone to, and nobody is marking him. Plus, Zardes losing the ball in a bad spot.

 

[fried rice]

Man, to state the obvious thank god for Pulisic out there. A real poacher's effort.

 

[fried rice]

So...were Pulisic and Long wearing sports bras?

Oh okay it's an endurance tracker. Almost thought it was some kind of solidarity gesture with the USWNT in that pay dispute.

 

[silverwheels]

You don't wear a sports bra when you play sports?

 

[bruin]

lol rip me sunday on a holiday weekend with our ladies in the morning defending the crown then a gold cup final v mexico at night.

 

[NML]

Copa America final sandwiched in between too

I wouldn’t give us much chance against Mexico’s full strength side, but they are missing a lot and have (somehow) looked less impressive than the US. They are definitely the favorites, but Jozy coming into form and Pulisic already being in it means there’s a chance. McKennie has been popping up in good spots too even if his all around game hasn’t been there.

First US/Mexico Gold Cup final since 2011

 

[NML]

Oh, and Pulisic has 9 goals and 9 assists in 21 competitive matches

 

[bruin]

Let’s fucking go

 

[kella]

Sanchez was a monster in that game.

Can't believe Guardado still playing. Or that we started Bornstein in a gold Cup final lol

 

[doh]

That '07 Final is one of my favorite US matches ever.

Beasley's miss late is probably the worst miss I've ever seen. Missed a wide open net from 10 yards away. Then Howard had to make an insane save late to seal it.

Remember when Bradley could actually run? That was fun.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

It’s like Azteca North here at Soldier Field.

 

[NML]

16-1 on US dos a cero let’s go

@Snorky's Shame whats attendance suppose to be like? US games have been rough

It’s sold out. 80% Mexico crowd though.
