We had played so awful against Trinidad Tobago Dear Tim and Dear Antonee.😞🥺
Never in my life have I seen Tim Ream so frustrated…. Wow
Tim looks so angry
Its a good example of the ripple impact that kyle martino talked about right when Dest was sent off.
In the immediate sure you are down a man and you stand a legit chance at dropping the result – which they went on to do. But it also just ruins the whole night, it made the rest of the game unwatchable, it screwed with your keeper's confidence, it drove a wedge between you and your teammates – and you may have cost other people caps! You don't play these games everyday – you don't think Zendejas would have appreciated another chance to prove himself? Or getting Paxten some needed minutes?
So selfish in the moment, your consequences have actions.
Ream also can't stand triple G. Team is a mess.
"…anything out of the ordinary?"…perfect assessment…
YOU'VE BEEN CONCACAF'ed…!!!!
I appreciate the hard work and effort these two put in last night, but at a certain point we have to collectively shake the "road games are tough in CONCACAF" mindset. The group seems to use that as a means to "get up" for the game and give full effort regardless of the opponent, but I think it cuts the other way too. It sets up the emotional acceptance that these types of outcomes are OK. We need to get to the point, not just where we want to win every game, but where we hold ourselves to the expectation that we win these types of games and that no excuses (location of game included) are acceptable.
That mindset needs to come from Gregg and veteran players like these two guys.
Tim looks like he's going to MURDER SOMEONE
Let there be CONCACAF
God I’m so sick of watching Berhalter ball. The hiring of Emma Hayes shows the US knows how to conduct an actual coach search. Why can’t the men’s side get their act together? Embarrassing performance across the board.
Tim doesn’t deserve all this damn stress
Tim and Jedi – American badasses.
I am so disappointed in how Tim has handled this. Be mad, be let down, but when asked about this interaction all he needed to say was, "Myself, the team and Sergino spoke about this while in the locker room and we resolved and left it there" We're all teammates and we're going to get through this as a team." THAT'S IT! If I'm Dest I would never accept a call up with these guys again after this. The culture is TERRIBLE.
This team will never be able to live up to their potential as long as Ggreggg is in charge.
The coach is a disaster.
Go tnt 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🪖🪖🪖
must be excruciating for these two to have to answer questions about a teammate who exhibited unsportsmanlike conduct
Little Trinidad beat big U.S.A😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅Good work TT
Red white and black Trinbago
Imagine playing your butt off for your country and having to answer rightfully so about a dumb decision by a teammate
Two of the most respectable guys on our team. Fitting to have them talk with the media about this situation.
So unfair for Jedi. He scores a banger and all we can talk about is Dest’s tantrum. Really unfortunate.
Tim looks pissed
Trinidad Tough 💪🏾💪🏾
World class players and Americans. Thanks for your service to Team and Country!
Hearing Tim say what we all feel and not hold anything back is comforting. Great veteran leader
Maybe Dest needs a full medical evaluation – seems like he might have his impulse control issues 😔.
Jedi was so impressive in this stretch. Athletic, fast and skilled. Focus should be on him today
Feel sorry for these guys. 😢chin up guys. Game's over. They need a coach to help them teach their potential.😢
These are the obvious questions. I need these journalists to hold the coach responsible for the results we've had since last world cup qualifiers
Dest is being used as a scapegoat.
Most of squad performed horrendously. Cut the crap.
Dest needed to be yelled at during the game but i think he really just needs a hug
