Do they have an estimated restart time?

Not sure. Looked at weather radar on my phone for Nashville and seemed like the line of storms was moving Northeast and away. Hopefully soon.

Back in action and Altidore has already F'd up a goal opportunity. Thanks for nothin' Jozy

Meh. Some decent moments but a real lack of consistent quality from anyone but Pulisic. I swear our back line is fucking stupid. Morris looks terrible. He’s in decent position but has no touch whatsoever. Bradley is stuck babysitting the back line. McKinney can at least make a clever run. Beyond that I don’t see much to be thrilled about.

We finally have a real Captain in Ream. That guy is solid

The lone light in a sea of shit along the back line.

God dammit it pisses me off that Pulisic missed out on the 2018 WC.

 

[romeo212000]

Arriolla is a mystery. Half the time he’s making great runs and solid contributions. The other half he’s got a stone foot giving the ball away.

 

[romeo212000]

Fuck, Zardes is garbage.

 

[romeo212000]

Pulisic is the only reason this team is watchable.

That Pulisic guy is pretty good.

 

[handicappers]

Bradley is going to have to play better against Mexico. He's pretty solid, but i'd like to see him make more tackles.

He’s stuck baby sitting the back Line but everyone but Pulisic is going to have to play better to beat Mexico. I’d favor Mexico by two goals at this point.

Pulisic > Everyone

Bingo, he is definitely slumming it with these guys.

I thought Reggie Cannon looked pretty good. I mentioned in an earlier post here that Burhalter should start him and he did. Much better option at right back that Lima for the future I think. Had a nice cross to set up the first goal and wasn't as bad on the back as the center backs. Zardes was complete trash. Worst of the worst. His turnover set up the Jamaica goal, shanked a point black opportunity that even I could have at least put on goal, no hold up play either. Josh Sargent hopefully will end the Zardes era for good soon. Good Sargent is in Germany at Werder Brement too where his development is more likely to occur quicker. No garbage MLS for him. And I thought McKennie had his best game, albeit some defensive issues that still need to be worked out. Ream was decent too as he had to deal with Leon Bailey, the Bayer Leverkusen player, and Jamaica's best player.

You sure about that? Mexico looked real shaky in their last 2 games

I can’t get the Curaçao game out of my head. Whatever we do, keep Zardes off the fucking field. He cost us a two point swing last night.

We are finding out Mexico is not as deep as Tata Martino thought. The effects of no Chicharito, Herrera, Lozano, Vela are showing. Yea USA had trouble with Curacao, but Mexico the same with Haiti.
