He was getting deep balls played to him, but seemed to be at poor angles and weights. The only couple that were decent he was simply not fast enough to get to it.
When it was played to his feet, he held it up and tried to play combos. We just sucked after the goal.

We Slid midfield help to Doku all match, and he still had his way because the help either came in too far toward the 18 yd line or too flat and nobody covered the top of the box.
Weah didn’t as well as could be expected, but his help failed him repeatedly.
Pulisic was squeezed all game. No room for him, and no help inside to bail us because we were in a double pivot.
McKennie gets sloppy imo when we are in “dire straits”. When he does that, the rest of the team echoes. Just deflates. Simple observation, nothing more.
Berhalter came on playing hero ball instead of being self-contained. Scaly looked like a newborn when he came on. Agyemang had good and bad, but mostly bad. Both he and Pepi worked hard, though the Game was over when they came on.
Clearly missed Adams, Dest would have been a huge help too.
Balogun wasn’t getting good service. When he did have service, he tried with combination play but nothing seemed to come of it.
Give me Weston box-to-box, Gio in the 10 under Balogun, and Adams as the midfield in the group stage based on what I saw today and in the last two camps.
If we are playing a team with a pulse, I want to see Some frick (Miles or McKenzie), Richards, and Freeman as the back three. Ream is aging out (finally) at the wrong time.
I don’t think Roldan was that bad, he just wasn’t that good either.
All of that and my previous post just to get to this:
Turner is NOT it. I’d rather us just abandon him in the next camp and call in someone young af and promising like Gaga Slonina or Diego Kochen if Turner is gonna be that bad.
Against Portugal, I want to see Balogun up top, Pulisic - Gio - McKennie - Weah under him, Cardoso as the 6, then Jedi - McKenzie - Robinson, Freeman at the back with Jedi obviously bombing up and down the left.
IDGAFlyingF who is between the sticks next as long as it isn’t Turner.

Our wingbacks have gotten isolated and made to look hapless in defense.
Arfsten is either a true winger in a 4-3-3 or he shouldn’t see the field. He can NOT be in a position to defend when he plays, otherwise we will lose.
Double-pivot is the best chance we have when we play big teams. Cardoso played well.
Tessman seemed invisible after our goal.
McKenzie didn’t play bad, honestly.

We would get out of the group, but we’d be one and done in the KO stage.

Turner not convincing anyone that he should start really. I didn’t think there was much difference between him and Freese…
There is.
Turner’s passing is arse. He looks like he has Parkinson’s at times.

This pisses me off. Slot is bumbling around and can’t fix the team, meanwhile Salah has 10 and 9 on the year (better than Mbuemo who is a signing of the season candidate at ManU), and yet Salah is the one that has to go?
Frick off, man… I am glad it SEEMS to be on good terms between he and the club, but it certainly isn’t on good terms between he and Slot.
Frick everything, man.
Salah deserves better after all he has given for the club. After all he went through with the Jota loss and the emotion he clearly felt.

Didn’t Wright also play the 10 at times? I know at one point last year we were in a double-10 setup…

Mueller (and many others) went WELL out of their way to slander, frame, undermine, and defame the character of Trump AND his family.
Not only that, Mueller and his crony posse have all since been proven to have fabricated everything during that process and likely COLLUDED with foreign governments to that end.
He is and was a traitor, and I hope he passed in the most unpleasant way possible.
frick that piece of shite. I hope the worms don’t give him the grace of returning him to the Earth.

Makes sense, thanks for the clarification.
Either way, I think the federation is doing what they can to land him in terms of long-term strategy.

USMNT World Cup Kits
Yahoo article: How the kits came to be
quote:
The U.S. World Cup team this summer will wear uniforms it helped design — a process that began with discontent at a photo shoot before the last tournament.
“The team wasn't too fond of the [uniforms] we were going to be wearing [in Qatar], just because we didn't feel it represented us necessarily and the country as we'd like,” midfielder Tyler Adams, the 2022 U.S. World Cup captain, said recently. “When you have an opportunity to represent your country at a World Cup … you just want to love the kit.”
quote:
They did not love the kit, which is soccer parlance for uniform.
And they were not going to do the photo shoot, Adams said, unless they were given a voice in designing their 2026 uniforms. Nike and the U.S. Soccer Federation agreed.
Thank the soccer gods for a captain like Tyler Adams. A man of the people, FOR the people. :lol:
quote:
Bummer that there's no Noahkai Banks on there, likely means he's not getting a World Cup spot. Poch doesn't seem like a dude who would call a guy into his final roster sight unseen.
Poch said yesterday in the presser that he has been on FaceTime and phone calls with him a bunch, and that he supports Banks’ current refusal to commit to the call up he received from the USMNT because he is a dual national facing a big decision between the U.S. and Germany.
He was born here in the states, but grew up almost entirely in Germany. I can understand his indecision. Granted, Germany hasn’t offered him a senior team WC prep call up at all to this point either.
I wonder if he joined the U.S. would it burn his one-time switch?
Either way, Poch said that what is important for now is that Banks not only feels but KNOWS that the USMNT and the USSF cares about and supports him.
I keep saying it… get ready for Agyemang to be on the WC roster.

Szobo showing frustration too, now. Saying Conference League would be “deserved” at this point.
Slot has lost the team, and I can’t be convinced otherwise. The lads won’t come out and say that, but something needs to be done
His quote today… “I have tried a lot of things.”
His tactics suck. He plays guys out of position. He doesn’t reward fringe or depth players with play time when they show they have impact.
He has to go, man. Teams don’t just collapse after a title year. That is gaffer impact.

I won’t do it. Especially not the way the team is right now, even if it is preseason.
I think the squad has “soft quit” on Slot.
Salah has quit on him outright, and was the first to do so.
Slot’s infatuation with Gakpo is unexplainable. His tactics play AGAINST our strengths as a squad, and they leave our back line exposed.
All in the name of trying to keep possession.
His tactics are like if Jose Mourinho decided to swear off parking the bus.
I’m sick of watching us, but I do it to myself consciously. Why do we have such a hard time cutting bait?
We shouldn’t be struggling for a Europa spot the year after a title. It is truly not a forgivable offense.
