Yea but what about playing a qualifier in a half empty stadium in Jacksonville! Can't beat that homefield advantage.
seems to be a decent amount of CR fans there. im sure we get a lot of USA fans at away games, ya? dumb to hold these events in areas where its nearly 50/50.
Syria is level on points with Uzbekistan and South Korea is only 2 points ahead Saudi Arabia is equal points with Australia and United Arab Emirates is 3 points back So still pretty wide open too
Gonna be level on points with Honduras and a big GD advantage but finish at Honduras. Panama likely pass us on Tuesday playing T&T at home so we would need to at least draw Tuesday at Honduras for 4th to get the playoff vs Asian 5th place team in November
Panama is at Mexico tn. If they lose that, we're still in 3rd. But our margin for error is now razor thin and 2 of our last 3 games are away.
You mean intl break? There's another during the first and second weeks of October Panama 10/6 @ T&T 10/10
Draw at Honduras and we control our destiny to third place. Lose and we're fighting for a chance to go to Asia. Cliffs: We suck
When was our last qualifier loss before this cycle? The 90s? Fucking embarrassing from this group of players.
Tweet no longer exists. What the fuck is it going to take for the U.S. to be competitive in soccer again?
Getting Panama at home and them still having to play Costa Rica definitely makes it possible but it's definitely a question now instead of a certainty
We had some nice moves early in the game that broke down on the final ball but really didn't have a midfield presence all game. Maybe someone like Acosta for Johnson could have helped but we were bullied in midfield and don't put much blame on Nagbe or Bradley(who I love to bash), they didn't have a chance.
I was a proponent of playing Fabian in the midfield for forever but he needs to go back to lb. He hasn't created much of anything on the wing plus he's now getting older and not playing as much with his club. Move him to lb and get Yedlin healthy and our fb's are way better then the shit we had last night. Need to find someone who can create in the final third besides Pulisic because our opponents are focusing their entire defenses around him.
Yeah last home qualifier loss. I don't think we'd lost one before this hex since the early 2000's or maybe even the 90's.
