And I don’t think it was direct - but the overall sequence started with Turner threading a needle (a pass I did NOT want him making)

Yeah but the pass drew in the first defender, once he went for it, they were out of shape. 3 passes and boom. That's how playing out the back works when the opponent makes a mistake.

I was just texting a friend just how different this team looks from just 5 months ago. The passing, the purpose, the movement...all in sync.

Poch trying to coach a shape change realtime
It did not seem to go the way he wanted

eta
Pretty sure he wants CP to run the give n go on the line
OR
He wants CP to decoy and pull the mid apart a little

Weah to Pepi very almost
Neither quite knew what the other wanted

US found a cheat code. This is possibly the best soccer I've seen them play in years

Dominating. Jamaica has no idea what to do defensively.

 

[guidomerkinsrules]

His turn is elite
nmind he struck that off his dribble - still a heckuva a shot
Credit that goal to Jedi though- very smart play

I mean... this is really something.

I mean... this is really something.

It really is. This Jamaica team isn't bad.

We have been so efficient and dominant, it has taken them completely out the game.

I think we have had more possession in their 3rd than they have entire 1st half.

And heeey now..Houston beating Cowboys 14 to 0 lol

 

[efil4stnias]

Weah...the trap and the half volley

Boom

 

[guidomerkinsrules]

K let’s tighten up the back a bit

 

[guidomerkinsrules]

awesome

Lil sloppy in 2nd but hard to come out and match the 1st half performance. That 1st was about as perfect a half as you will ever see.

Unlucky on Jamaica 2nd goal, great reach save only to have Jedi try n clear unfortunately into Gray's leg and ricochet in.

I will say Turner looks way more confident in goal. Seeing and reading the game better. Still gives me pause on the ball tho lol.

Overall great result and I'm excited (again)
