LFG!

It appears from early reports that the great Dutch flu demise was over reported. We’d rather beat them full strength anyway.

Can’t wait to see the XI for the US. Ideas in the final third, time for Gio? You’ve got 5 subs, don’t play like it’s still 3. If he wears out sub him. But get the talent on the pitch.

That’s what I was saying yesterday
Holland has the bench - they’d be more than fine dragging this to extra time
Start Gio and put Weah at the 9 - press for a two goal lead then bring in defenders for attackers
I know greggg is not going to do this , but

He doesn't trust Gio in defense. That's the only explanation. He isn't the player that will run himself into the ground on defense. He is an attacker.

When he loses possession, he inst immediate to recover.

It's what I figured...if attack is anemic, we may see him earlier. If we are doing well, may not see him at all.

Jesus gets the start. Shocked.

I thought it was Haji. Moreso based on minutes played. Jesus has 0 minutes and now starting in the knockout round. Ultimately you can put those 3 names in a hat and you dont really see a +/-.

After this WC, how they handle this absolute debacle with Gio is going to be the first thing to smooth over as the next cycle begins.

Yup Zimm too
So we’re trying to absorb on D vs playing out of the back
As to Jesus??
Maybe he thinks he can poach a goal somehow
greggg has been reading the press clippings about the MMA
This lineup seems to lean on them heavily

Jesus quickness can benefit vs Van Dyke. Van Dyke likes big, physical forwards...he has played them his entire career in EPL. This is a wrinkle.

I think it's the proper call not to mention he probably will be running his arse off defensively when Dutch have possession.

I think Jesus is mostly because Sargent wasnt an option and Haji hasnt been dangerous in the least bit. Along with the amount of running. Throwing crap at a wall and see what sticks at this point. We cant fix the striker problem in Qatar.

We attack in numbers...him CP, musah, weah or Mckinnie will have to come correct today shooting the ball.

I just hope I dont have to hear any of these pundits going on and on about how US is "playing with house money" in the round of 16 in 2026.

Come 2026, the expectation level will be much higher.

There’s also the possibility that greggg just wants to flip the bird at the anti-mls fans
admittedly it’s a very small possibility

Right. Ultimately I think it came down to ineffectiveness from the 9 and felt the risk reward with Jesus was the play. He is fresh, I dont think he has played in a month. He has to get into this game quick.
