It will be comprehensive in that their moneyball metrics will bring them right back to GGG AGAIN! After the Acolyte, the SCOTUS ruling on Presidential immunity and now the USA unable to even get out of group play against Panama and Bolivia on home soil ....I fucking give up. Im done. I just can't anymore.U.S. Soccer to conduct 'comprehensive review' after Copa America exit
The United States Soccer Federation (USSF) will conduct a comprehensive review after a disappointing Copa America tournament on home soil “fell short of expectations”. The U.S. men’s national team beat Bolivia 2-0 in its opening game but then lost 2-1 against Panama and were beaten 1-0 by...
I'm not sure why it would have to be so comprehensive.
Seeing Marsch take Canada on rustles my jimmies so bad.
I thought McKinnie deserved the bench, personally.
Agree on both. There are some young studs coming up in the ranks that can maybe fill... but i do think philosophy is neutering some players as well.
Klopp and Guardiola are pipe dreams.
What tactics and selections have been questionable? I always hear soccer fans complain about tactics at the national level but rarely hear their reasoning. I’m genuinely curious. Seems to me like a national coach doesn’t have the time to really get complex with their teams due to a lack of training. It’s why I think a guy like Pep would hate the job. I just assume when people complain it’s the same as when we complain about play calling. Usually it’s the outcome we are bitching about.
Agreed. Would absolutely love the two pipe dreams but Pellegino would be a lovely hire.
I think you are right for a fair bit of it but that fact that you see world class players like Kane and Foden essentially neutered, Jude playing out of position, etc.. Points to philosophy. But this has been England's issue for my entire lifetime. I am here for it too, England struggling, but England should likely get into the final and then it is a coin flip
Sure but the team is full of guys who are focal points on their club teams. You can’t come up with a system that plays to all of their strengths. Not to mention they are playing against other top players in the world. This seems to be typical of most national teams in big tournaments. It’s why I think the level of play is always superior in the later rounds of the champion’s league than it is in these type tournaments. The drama though, is tough to beat at the national level.
The way he's used Bellingham, Foden, Alexander Arnold to begin with. Trippier at left back. Build up, or lack thereof. No runs in behind.
He’s been great all tournament, nice to see him get a goal.
Soccer is interesting as it’s one sport where people care about style of play almost as much as results. Don’t hear many fans of football, basketball, baseball, etc…care how their teams win. They just want them to win. I’m perfectly happy with pragmatic and winning.
The process can often lead you to better, easier results.
