Tactical masterclass from LVG really. Pulisic scores that goal in the 2nd minute, maybe it turns out differently, but he didn't and Holland was clinical with their chances.
Thanks.A couple of things:
1. After the debacle of 2018, we were promised that the US would conduct a thorough and intense search to find a coach who could bring a progressive style to the US to match all of the young, European based, players. Instead, we hired the brother of one of the guys in charge of the hiring. A guy who had a 35% win percentage in MLS and made the finals once, and lost.
2. When he came in he could not stop talking about his "philosophy" and how it was going to be the players jobs to adapt to it. His philosophy included playing Tyler Adams as a right back and Tim Ream as a left back.
3. WCQ was almost a disaster and included some absolute debacles where the US looked outclassed tactically. If not for Pepi coming off the bench in Honduras at halftime to rescue the game we may not have qualified.
4. He is more interested in his sneaker game and wearing T-shirts on the touchline than coaching it seems.
5. He signature thing is bounce passes to players to take throw ins. You know, like he one he tried in the 88th minute that he bounced all the way back to the goalie when Yedlin was 5 feet from him.
6. He comes across as an asshole.
Thanks.I think it’s because he makes a lot of questionable decisions, in terms of players selected and tactics. I like him more than the last few managers we’ve had, but he’s just average. I think Bob Bradley would have done more with this team, and even he was enthralled to an outmoded style.
Did FIFA change the part of the Argie anthem that normally gets played pre-match? I know the full anthem is something like ten minutes long, so obviously they won't play the whole thing.
You shouldn't be. It's Australia.I'm scared
Only in a Utd forum it is. Romero is class.Di Maria was good in the last game. Strange one.
Martinez not starting over Romero is crazy
No wonder it sounds so different this time.Yes, before we used to sing the introduction of it, now we sing the last part of it.
Take it as a blessing that his chances of a serious injury are drastically reducedRomero starts over Martinez???
Horseshit decision from an Argentine POV, if you ask me.Romero starts over Martinez???
That's why they'll lose.Romero starts over Martinez???
Even Romero thinks Martinez is better than him...Only in a Utd forum it is. Romero is class.
Have you ever heard “God Save the King”There's never a bad national anthem in the Commonwealth, I swear. Powerful singing of Advance Australia Fair.
That title is a bit of a mouthful thoughThere's never a bad national anthem in the Commonwealth, I swear. Powerful singing of Advance Australia Fair.
I vaguely remember him being an insufferable thug once or twice when we played HuddersfieldAaron Mooy always left a good impression whenever I've watched him. Wonder why his career hasn't been bigger.
He’s at Celtic now, think his legs are gone..Aaron Mooy always left a good impression whenever I've watched him. Wonder why his career hasn't been bigger.
Ronaldo?Is there a bigger nob in world football than De Paul?
He's a bit slow nowadaysAaron Mooy always left a good impression whenever I've watched him. Wonder why his career hasn't been bigger.
If it wasn’t for Enzo Fernandez being a little diamond of a player, they’d be pretty ordinary and uninspiring in midfield.Still think this Argentina midfield is a little weak..
Yeh I’ll give you that.Ronaldo?
You think he should play a kid with only 5 senior appearances? OoooooookThey are starting papu Gomez, surely they could have taken Garnacho. I swear most international managers won't get a job in the championship.
