Is a draw in Kingston an acceptable result?
what's with the sunshields….are you blinded by your own light?
Yedlin was tough, smart, quick…deserves to be there
I want to see Adams, Busio, and Musah combination.
OK Jimmy…you are indeed a Ted Lasso clone…you have won me over.. finally
you guys ought to invite Wynalda in for a go round…would be interesting
Berhalter has evolved as well
Mexico were not in it …why…age and cold equals not wanting it enough
If it keeps going and people on the team stay healthy …2026 anything will be possible
Have you seen Busio…He tackels hard
Heath has it right. It has to be Busio. If Gregg plays Busio, he's playing to win which you 100% should be doing against Jamaica. If you draw, so be it. But if you trot out Acosta or Lletget or Ariolla instead of Weah, then you're playing for a result which is what Arena did vs T&T. That would not make me happy.
GB had a good midfield with MMA but now should go BAM. If he goes with Lleget, we get LAM like in a lamb being led to slaughter.
Ride Zimmerman and Richards
US has to be cautious in Jamaica to not have a let down. It is going to be hot and humid.
A win is expected and a must against such a weaker squad. No excuses for the pitch or a lack of a perfect starting 11. Just. Win.
Thank you for consider El Tri 🇲🇽as a Big team to win over 😂😂 … Mexico is not at their best right now and team usa celebrated as if they won the world cup 😜😂😂😂
Still #berhalterout and these two guys are big idiots and I’m not a hater like he said
We outplayed Mexico for 94 minutes. Dos e Cero.
Secondly I wish I could dig up my YouTube comments to see how much I was begging for people to see how good Musah is. I don’t understand how he’s not starting every game for his club. I also thought ledezma was great in the same friendly. We just don’t need Ledezma as much as we needed a Yunus Musah because we have Busio and LDLT who are probably better than Ledezma. He’s still very good though and I think he can def. steal a spot from the aging Mexican midfield.
Canada has already played in Mexico. 1-1 draw.
GGG got the lineup right. That is all we have been asking for. I wasn't worried about Zimmerman. It is not just MLS players. It's players that don't really belong. Lletget, Ariolla (Starting), Shaq Moore (When he has not played for his club team) etc…
Will we take a step back in the Jamaica game? It's going to be hot and humid, and it is an away game. How will the team and GGG handle that? Can we show up with another good game?
Busio over Acosta pleeassseee!!!!
If GGG wants the fan base against him, start LLetget. Because we all know that is a mistake.
We’re winning games in general based on our talent. It’s not the best way to win, but points are points I guess. I wish we could win more because of scheme and not just relying on our talented players.
Desire for Busio is understandable. Acosta does have better free kick delivery than what we had against Mexico.
I’m with jimmy expect for Scally, I’m ok with not starting him, but please sub Joe in! The kid is killing it in the Bundesliga
Been a Jimmy Conrad fan since reading your writing years ago when you were still playing. Just started listening to soccer podcasts again and this is one of the best! Keep it up!
First time watcher – really enjoyed. Keep up the good work!
From a coach’s perspective…win at home, and DONT LOSE away games. The US of A tends to underestimate its opponents (in sports and er…sorry, war). The bottom 3 teams now have nothing to lose, are pissed at the top teams, and will die to show their home fans they haven’t given up. Jamaica has excellent attacking options. Go down a goal to them in their barn and you’ve got a battle on your hands just to get a draw! Good luck tomorrow 🙂
Meanwhile, back here in Canada , I wouldn’t be surprised if we beat Mexico, or disappointed if we “only” get a draw.
We all think Busio should start, does Gregg?
Man which group yall in??? it must be the same criticism across groups.
Who is “Timo Weah?” Is this on purpose?
Who isn’t giving Gregg credit for the Mexico lineup and tactics? Are you knocking down straw men?
