Between the 3 hosts, I think we got the Hardest group. Turkey didn’t do great in qualifying but they gave talent

No gummies in our group like Qatar or Bosnia

It always seems like we are in the group of death or one of the hardest 2 or 3 group.

Group D has been called the most balanced group. I believe Group I - France, Norway & Senegal is considered the group of death.

Not really a group of death anymore with the extra teams since the better ones all spread out.

Shocked if our lineup isn’t the same as vs Germany except Richards in for M Robinson

Who are the experts that said it was a mistake to play in LA? Stadium is 90% US and totally packed.

USA looks more dangerous but we have to translate that into more shots on goal as we only have 1

Tell us you haven't watched many UNMNT games since he was hired without telling us.
That would be correct. I'm one of those people who just watch when it's the World Cup or Olympics. I did notice though that Tim Howard is no longer the GK??

Best I've seen the US play in a long time. Pulisic has been magic and our touch and control with our passing has been great. Let's hope we don't sit back too much in the 2nd half.

I've mentioned before, Dest is becoming a problem for defenses, he's really good with the ball at his feet making defenders miss and getting into dangerous areas.

Was going to say, next goal is big.

Ball recovery in this half has been insane.

Best half they've played in a while. Everyone played a role. Super finishing by Balogun, really like what Freeman has given out of the back, and they have no answer for Pulisic and Dest dribbling at them.

I don't follow soccer like I did years ago. I'm pleasantly surprised to see a US team this skilled offensively.

Dating myself, but total 2002 Portugal vibes (for those that watched in the middle of the night).
