Particularly at the back. Moving forward, Brooks and Miazga and Carter-Vickers look like the right choices. Mckennie is going to be special (anyone watching the BL already knew that).

Horvath had a brain fart, but he's not going to be the guy in 2022.

First step forward, I guess.


McKinnie's touch...

on his goal was superb. Jozy would have knocked that over the goal on the side step before the shot.


One interesting side note btw

After the match, some of the Portugal players said they were surprised at how big and physical the American youngsters were. It showed, especially in the midfield and by our CBs. Miazga and Carter-Vickers were very strong.

Gee, wonder if that would have helped at all during the hex?


Bruce stated on FS1...

that Miazga would be paired with Brooks in the WC. You know, perhaps try playing him in the Hex then.

Idiot.


They were "Euro Hotshots"

They wouldn't have been able to hack in in Central America like the American based players.

Good lord, we would have qualified if Klinsmann stayed

Zardes would have put the first touch 8 rows up

Mckennie's defensive work was outstanding, too.
