Who invited my ex?

It might backfire but there are plenty of times this hasn't been true. I'd rather try having the best players play in this case.

What's your dream effective, winning US front 3

One nice thing about the USMNT is that there's no need to shift gears mentally from supporting Everton. Couldn't finish the game, boneheaded penalty conceded, two points leaked. Same script, different shirts.

Lumping aimless crosses into isolated striker....

I wanted to see them try Pulisic up front with Weah right and Aaronson/Reyna left. They didn't. So at this point I'd probably just like to see Ferreira who they committed to in qualifying.

At least the USMNT's isolated striker is taller than me. Unlike Everton's.

There's a reason I was an inverted winger. Fast, yes. Headers, no.

Draw was fair result but it feels like a USA loss. A tale of two halves but Wales' aggression and energy in the second half were superior to USA's in the first. USA can have no complaints about the penalty.

I think we have about as much footballing ability, truth be told.

Personally I think wales stole a point there tonight …. We were abysmal first half …. Bringing on Moore helped us improve but the effort and work rate need to be upped against Iran

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

As I've said consistently since the draw we've got the better players and I don't think tonight disproved that. But it isn't put together well enough so we don't beat all the teams we should.

Ding ding ding

well, yeah.

I think to a degree game management was a problem too, which may be partly down to how youthful your team is currently. Failing to capitalise when way on top in the first half was a issue, but I thought the US almost looked like they were gassed out in the second half.

That aside though, the first half was really impressive, and if it wasn’t for a stupid penalty conceded you’d have been leaving the game all-but through
