This is Berhalter ball.

Disgusting.

Sloppy. No ideas in the attacking half. Zendejas doing Zendejas things.

3 times in last 3 min I've seen 3 players SEE the runner only to pass back and raise hand in apology for not sending.

Direct balls to runners passing the mid line of Canada defense lacking bigly

Can I just say that I hate that games are on FS1?? WTH.

This is Berhalter ball.

Disgusting.

Wait…you didn’t miss the horseshoe of sadness?

 

[44slayer]

Busio not having his best half. Neal having himself a full learning curve. Looks like a penalty kick.

Cowell is the sub at half.

 

[44slayer]

Got away with that one. 0-0 after this half is a pure gift.

He's playing on the wrong side of the field.

 

[SystemShock]

Uh-glee.

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.

If we keep playing like we are, Cowell won't help any, he will just be watching like Jesus has.

I have no idea what our mids are doing, holding the ball way too long only to see lanes close

Neal has been RUFF - I’ve liked parts of what I’ve seen from Sands (and obviously Georgie- I’ll learn to spell his name later)

I suspect GeoMah can play on the 1/2 turn, right?
I just don’t know the other guys well enough to know if we’re missing some obvious runs

Yes if they are allowed to. If the strategy is "possession to win " they won't because they would be improvising vs coaches mandate. Gregg has no problem putting someone in a doghouse.

When you see a player raise his hand after he passes back, he missed a run. We had at least 5 that I counted in a 20 min span. I stopped caring after that.

Take the reigns off these guys and get to attacking soccer that we play well.

I think Canada is trying to work through their anger and frustration with their org issues
Could be a chippy half
