I watched Roy as a kid in Tampa Bay in 1984. He and Steve were favorites. Nice career Roy ended up with.

This is an almost an entirely new group, as the Top 10 field players are out, except maybe Richards. And the team is in the semis. Not the best performance in the world, but if you add a few of these guys to the top group you have really added depth.
The constant bashing has gotten ridiculous.

He is a hold up striker not unlike Ercan Kara. He has done fine in playing that role, but I don't think he starts there when everyone is healthy. I think you need more of a scoring threat in the WC then a guy that kind of sets up everyone else.

What team consistently scores against bunkers defenses?
comment in response to
post
No team scores every half of every game. This is soccer, not not basketball. Almost every other team in MLS would kill to ha e thr attacking players we do over their own.

We are 1 goal behind leading the East in GF. How much better do you think an MLS team can be offensively? No team evee goes undefeated. We are lower middle in salary. We get great production and we will be fine.

Every team struggles against big, strong teams that clog the middle.
I mean, how many 1-0 games have we on on the road with this same strategy? It's like our fans expect the rules to apply only to us. Other teams can execute a good game plan.

I can agree. But without the Gallese blunder, at worst it is a 0-0 draw. But we were more dangerous on attack.

I am more concerned about our defense. When Rodri is out, we give up easy goals. Pedro is too inconsistent. We will score goals.

I get that. But we are second in goals score in the east, one behind Chicago. And 4th overall. We have scored a lot of goals this year, and a lot against good teams. It was one game. We created chances and have proven we can finish chances.

Fair enough.
But from my view we outplayed them in the first half until Pedro went Pedro. Play them ten times we each win 3 with 4 draws. We created more chances. They got two goals. One was a Pedro gift. The second was when we were down one late because of the first one.

If Pedro doesn't give that up, after a verrrry soft foul call on Cesar, we are with them the whole game. And Schlegel would not have been subbed out, and we probably don't give up the second goal. Brekalo is not as good as Schlegel.
Soccer is a cruel game.
But the season is far from over.

The Enirque "chance" was a really difficult chance. Right in front of us, that was a difficult ball to turn and get into the net. Sometimes we think they are superhuman. The only bad play I saw was Pedro ignoring the left side of the net. That was ridiculous.

I think that is the best free scarf we have ever gotten.

I like Nico a lot. He fors look like he needs more time to gel, but he doesn't seem shy for a young kid in a new environment.

By the way, any word on Ojeda. That was an unmanned sub tp get him out of there. I did not see what happened or even when he left the field.

Ok, so you are mad that a CB could not finish a shot on goal on a cross that had ace on it? Seriously? Top strikers would not often finish that. It was a brilliant cross to get it to him, but not even close to the definition of a sitter. And a CB? Oh boy.

If Gallese doesn't fall asleep on a free kick, its a draw.

Taifi at RW ws not on my bingo card.

He often does worse than doing nothing with it. All he had to do was pass the ball to Enrique and its a goal. Instead he runs all the way into the keeper. Why?

I love the energy Angulo brings. But I do get tired of watching him on attack. I hope Nico Rodriguez wins the job.

The cruelty loved it and ended up laughing at him even as he made a couple of great stops to defeat the home team. Attitude can be everything.

A few years ago at an MLS game a goalkeeper was being harassed constantly. He said nothing for a while, then he accidentally on purpose suited his water bottle at the first row. As fans began to get irate, he waved behind his back to the crowd. Later he looked back and smiled a couple of times.

Maybe not so bad. We apparently spent millions of dollars to drop bombs on unused sites with several days of advanced warning to Iran, accomplishing little. So they responded by giving us warning they were going to bomb our Air Force base, accomplishing little.
Much ado about nothing, hopefully.

I doubt it is a risk. It is clearly not to win, it is to do two things:
1. Give a long time minutes against PSG he will never again have the opportunity to get.
2. Give him a few minutes of actual game time to slowly get him back into a rhythm. Its not like PSG is going to hard foul at min 80.

I did think they were better today. Several good chances. The Haiti goal was a fluke. I would love to see Freeman attacking more, there is skill there we are missing out on.

Really hard to say how he is doing with the lack of available players since he took over.

So we are just going to pretend that the top 10 field players are not missing? Of course this team does not look as good without them.

Agymang is not making a compelling case to be called upon often by the USMNT.

If an owner pays over $1 billion for an asset, they want some assurances a couple of freak injuries will not damage that asset. Pro/rel started in the late 1800s when franchise value was minimal, they were basically club teams. No one lost hundreds of millions upon being relegated.
