I remember Carrasquilla being a damn good player for Panama, but McKennie is better than him, and we should have the advantage at every position.

If Fajardo sinks us, a million curses upon him and his time in DC.

Btw, hate the main camera angle, it’s not nearly high enough at the venue

Ref not even 10 minutes in is incredibly biased on contact.

A million years late on the flag for Weah’s cross in

The US has the ball, therefore there is no stoppage time for the first half, despite the players that fell.

We’re reverting to a 4-4-2 shape out of possession, fair enough, but no idea what the offensive idea with the personnel and roles is supposed to be.

McKennie looks to be playing right wing, despite top speed into space being his least strong feature. It’s not undisciplined or disorganized, but it’s not working remotely.

He’s been back for Bournemouth for a few months, and showing really well for them

Well, this is why you can’t waste an entire first half and much of a second against an inferior opponent
