I like your optimism. But I’m highly skeptical this won’t get ugly.

Our back line is what most of us thought it was. They ain’t good. Funny thing they are going after the other side from Ream.
Ream got beat bad on that one. Of course we just 17ing gave them the easy cross too.
Feels like we were much more competitive on the world stage 30 years ago than we are now. These European teams are on a completely different level and the gap is growing.
Honestly I completely agree with this. We got dominated that first half and lucky to be down 1.
Our goalie and #2 Dest… it’s hard to fathom this is the best this country has to offer… maybe it is?
Y’all weren’t kidding about how weak we are in the back. Playing a high quality team makes it obvious.
Still in it, but it feels like we gotta find 2+ 2nd half goals and that seems very unlikely.

First good team we’ve played. Schedule until now has been cupcake city. The 4 teams we’ve played could put an all star team together & still lose to Belgium. Or any of the top 10-12 teams.
It’s crazy how #65 Cape Verde with a population equal to Jackson, MS played #1 Argentina as good or more competitively as we are playing this average European team. Got one more half to go.
Belgium is more than an average European team. They are ranked 9th in the world. Argentina isn’t #1 either. That would be France. Argentina is either 2nd or 3rd.
