      @@crow_g1639 We had 3 chances. People forget Musah missed what was a very clear opening with a very weak pass shot to the side of Ochoa. And we didn't play like sh!t. Or else you haven't been following the USMNT for very long. We played them quite evenly and had the much better chances to score. If anyone had told you beforehand that we would have 1 point out of Azteca without McKennie, Aaronson, Dest, Richards, and several others...you know that you would have been more than happy with that...so you can't be changing your opinion simply because we didn't WIN in a place we never have won before in.

      Only to noobz & club fans. He's been bad as a starter against better opponents internationally. Only 1 g+a against about his 12-15 opponents competitively. And that g was a penalty he didn't deserve against Mexico. Real, knowledgeable USNT fans would ask him to come close to earning that distinction, as oppose to pre-ordaining him because he plays for Chelsea.

    Like, I know the press has a job to do, and nobody wants to lose press passes, but knowing what we know about federation restrictions for the press, I'm convinced that Gio is basically representing us fans. When something said is too stupid, he laughs, when a scrub like Pefok messes up a gift, he berates him, when Pulisic almost says the guys put up a "shit" performance, he tries to hold in that giggle.
