USMNT - ‘23 and beyond

Yeah
My tactical analysis is … ok …
But I see the essential issue is that to maintain defensive shape, the team is mostly asked to attack down the sides
I think the pairing of Gio and Balo would be strongest in the half spaces or even rte 1
I also think CP and Weah might have more opportunity as outlets on the side if defense pinches Gio/Balo

I think we have those players except that it seems we’d need defenders more like Scally who step up for 1v1 challenges

Centrally- yes- Ream, love him, but asking him to defend against top flight strikers for 90 min, isnt his game any longer. ( he was the one who got out muscled for the Uruguay header on the FK)

And yes- to maintain Berhlater shape, our attacking forays must come from wings...except we dont have a Kane ( ;) ) or Lewandowski or Haaland in the middle to finish crosses. lol
