That pass has to be timed PERFECTLY from Gary and boy it was. That was NOT an easy play.

Scary one for our guy.

Agree-- I was pleasantly surprised on his shot to pass ratio! I thought he made very good decisions, but unfortunately his teammates did not.

However. This is just one game I’ve watched. Maybe they’ve looked differently in others.

Berke probably going to have to put forth a bit more effort on the D end when he gets here. Specifically helping off his man when needed. Turkey’s guards seem not great and have struggled distributing the ball. Very much a “take my shot when I have the ball” feeling.

I disagree with fan control. We host some of the biggest events on the planet every year and we do not have problems like we saw last night. CONMEBOL was in charge of Copa and it showed throughout the tournament. We offered help and they declined in many different instances which led to situations like last night. USSF/FIFA will be in charge of the World Cup. We have to improve field conditions massively, but this Copa and the World Cup will look massively different just based on who is running the tournament. With all that said, last nights optics looked terrible. That game should have never been played. Who knows who got in and with what. A massive failure all around last night unfortunately.

thought we had a small chance here. Guess not.

Lets just say there are completely “sane” takes in this thread. But a lot of the basketball accounts echo our thoughts. Almost have to go 11-1.

Not surprised to hear he gave us a graceful yet swift “no”

Good point. Completely forgot about those two December conference games!

Also a looooong break (20 days) between the NFlorida and first tournament game.

We also have plenty of cupcakes prior to this three game stretch to figure out our new pieces. We’ll also be tested by CU and St Mary’s at this point so it’s really a tuneup for conference season.

Do you like your cupcakes frosted? Creighton is Creighton. St Mary’s is sneaky good. Everything else is… woof.

We can’t keep doing the same thing. Look if we go the Cherundolo route before at least reaching out to names like Klopp, etc, I might pull my hair out. As much as I paid to watch the Uruguay game, we can afford to throw some money at a solid name. Go big. This is the biggest two years coming up to grow the game… ever.

This seems good? No?

2-1 is the absolute bare minimum here IMO.

Love that KT is getting his shot. Many never thought he’d get one at all.

It’s Tuesday, July 9th and GB is still the coach of the USMNT.

Still trying to digest what I watched on Monday.

I will say though… the players have to have some accountability too. Dest, Weah red cards, etc. just can’t happen.

My Goodness. If we don’t make it out of a group with Bolivia AND Panama on home soil, I don’t know how GB survives. Elimination game for us Monday. I’ll be there. Have to win. Panama will likely beat Bolivia.

I thought we looked pretty solid as well. Sure a lot of missed chances, but goodness that could have easily been 4-0 or 5-0. Turner didn’t really have to work either. We showed some nice buildup that didn’t involve a cross into the box, so that was nice to see. Uruguay looked beatable too (we’ll still need to bring our best game next Monday). Either way, next Monday SHOULD be a “both eliminated/both moving on” situation.

Lolll! I’m headed down to KC next week for, what’s hopefully, the group battle for 1st.

This is a great point. We’re also never going to be a place where a kid even thinks he might sit and wait for an opportunity, so we’ll have a new team every year basically forever.
