We're like Martinez Everton defending set pieces tonight

I have an opinion on Tim Ream

he's bad

Did well there

Disappointed with that. Took a moment of brilliance from Pulisic and some decent saves from tim. Didnt create enough opportunities for me

That pitch was appalling. Feel like the ball was overinflated too. Lots of high balls just took off after they were kicked and no one could control the ball out of the air.

Thought he looked decent enough. It should be Cameron and Brooks when healthy every time

Was decent for the first half outside of the goal where everyone involved was comical. Recovers well, but he gets beat too easily by any sort of pace. Comparable to Omar it seems. Back up at best when healthy.

Quick, call Roger Goodell.

Well played. Wonder if soccer should have a similar rule though? Maybe there is one already.

I read up on it and FIFA allows quite a bit of latitude for how much the ball can be inflated. The official Laws of the Game use "atmospheres" so I found a site that translates to PSI.

To be fair, I would have taken a point in that game once lineups were announced. So many injuries. One could I thought Villafana can really be a player and Zusi did admirably at RB given the situation. CBs were brutal though, especially Ream. Starjumps had a decent game. But my god we cannot continue to live with a Jones/Bradley midfield. Thought Nagbe was alright. Jozy was gash, and Clint did what Clint does.

I think we'll easily finish top 3 now. But not sure how much further we can go beyond that. This side can really use someone like a Gana in it

Zusi was the biggest liability we had last night, and Panama knew it. Not his fault, but he was horrible. Nagbe should be in Europe somewhere. Would be great for a team like Swansea.

Nagbe is Aston Villa quality.

If that's the rule, there's wide latitude for ball inflation

• of a pressure equal to 0.6 – 1.1 atmosphere (600 – 1100 g/cm 2 ) at sea level (8.5 lbs/sq in to 15.6 lbs/sq in)

Roger would not approve
