      We need a proper manager in. No disrespect to Hudson but we absolutely lost the midfield for over half the game. If we faced a team with more attacking quality we would have conceded at least 3. Yes I know we def missed Tyler Adams but I feel Hudson should have made midfield changes sooner.

      Back to reality!! So much for the depth that is often talk about this team. We need to choose coach right now or we will waste another generational talent pool.

      Who’s the scapegoat gonna be this time? Can’t blame Gregg anymore. The one MLS player that played actually had a pretty decent match, so you can’t blame him. Herc’s gonna have to find a new scapegoat!

      Difficult to back this team! Team resets non stop, not very scary up front, defense suspect and players play with a chip on their shoulder as if they already won something big! In a global tournament such as the world cup these guys won’t get it done.
      Coaching and a sports director are not going to make a difference. Players are ok, serviceable at best and please don’t make argument that they are playing internationally – subs and once in a while starters.
      They might win this copa, they might surprise in Gold cup tourney (fold when they play big teams) and beat Mexico and Canada but that’s about it. Herc is right and I share in his frustration!

      To be honest El Salvador didn't attack well, so Tyler Adams wasn't the issue. Pulisic was the big issue, everytime he touched the ball it was a turnover and dont get me started on set pieces let reyna take them.

      Didn’t impress but was a good 2nd half. Pulisic is terrible. Lacks the real aggressiveness and lack of finishing that was supposed to be his role for this team. He gets pushed off the ball, is simply not playing well and that’s been for a good year now. Pepi is the man and Reyna played well. Without Tyler Adams the mid field looks sloppy and back line was a bit vulnerable. He’s the best overall player for the US. So they did this without their best player. I’m ok with the effort overall. But Pulisic has been a major disappointment.

      Eat my lunch all you want if that means you lose and score 0 points 😂. You could probably use a hand out and at that point it’s charity. Maybe even a tax write off. Tis the season

      *****( USMNT )****

      EL SALVADOR is Ranked 74 in Fifa World Cup Ranking !

      And USMNT were playing Most of the USMNT Starting line up !

      Beating GRANADA 7 to 1, is NOT a Big deal ! GRANADA World Cup Ranking is 173 !

      USMNT starting line up, should NOT be having so MUCH TROUBLE, beating these Teams, if EVER really expect to WIN a World Cup !!!

      I really think USA soccer is just Tryna feel better and beyond with there stars and make them seem there close haaland or there Manchester United when there playing along side Mexico and canda the league is just Farmer league , how aren’t you gonna beat a team from Africa with no built player, common really

      Yall usmnt fans in comments are nonsense. Pulisic is overhated and all we do is just watch the game without knowing how hard it is to be a soccer player. I bet you Pulisic haters ain't good at soccer and people who hate are players after 1 game.
