It's brutal.
Absolutely brutal. If we have 100 passes, 80 were negative balls. This is exactly what we will see from Berhalter. This is his strategy. We are best when moving fwd with multiple outlets in FRONT...NOT BACK. We get in transition, and we simply stop the ball, look around only to see Canada set defense and now have to roll the ball to back line.
I've seen enough of A squad players asked to do the same thing when their talent ISNT TAPPING THE BALL AROUND IN A TRIANGLE, it's going forward and putting defender under pressure. Beat that guy and they are now out of balance.
