TGAA_Star Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I'm just passionate hence why I called them trash because they are playing like it and this team was supposed to be in Qatar not that long ago and we were in the Nations League Final. Like you really actually believe our team is any good now whatsoever if we're drawing to Guadeloupe and Guatemala? Are we even serious here?

While it's an experimental squad and think Guadeloupe is an underrated team, I mostly agree. On paper, even with this B team, we have way more quality than Guatemala. There is no excuse for drawing yesterday. I don't want to hear "It was like an away game."

THIS is a different team with different players. TGAA_Star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but the performances haven't been good regardless. Most of this squad plays in MLS or Europe. By contrast, I believe Guatemala has three MLS guys. Otherwise, most play in low-level Central American leagues. They only beat a dumpster-fire Cuba side 1-0, while Guadeloupe absolutely trounced them.

Kadenge Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 A squad of MLS starters or equivalent should have been able to secure 2 wins or at the very least 1 win over the past 2 games. So it's either coaching or perhaps being an MLS starter is not good enough. We almost got beat by Ligue 2 and Guat domestic league squads. phresh, TGAA_Star, ADP10 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also some Belgium first division and ligue 1 quality on top of the ligue 2 players. TGAA_Star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guadeloupe is stronger than Guatemala. I agree on that. Still expected a win being at home, but Guadeloupe is one of those teams that can surprise.

Many of them are "borderline", "part-time" or "contributors" IMO. Would Cav, Bombito, Millar, Fraser all be sure fire MLS starters? i dont think you could say they are locked in at that level. Than we bring in Brym (no), Shaff (no), Spoony (no). Compare it to the C team of the US right now. No star power, but everyone of those guys is a relatively high end MLS player. That's very different than what we're putting out there. TGAA_Star, king1010, ECW and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However there's enough in this squad, that with the right tactical set up and subs we still should have come away with 1 win in 2 games. canuckgbp and DeRo_Is_King 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically we got extra rest after the Nation's League final. You get it before or after. If we win and go through on a high it could benefit us.

king1010 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Usa up 3-0, Jamaica up 2-0, both at half. Looking like the States will grab top spot based on goal differential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Chuck Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Calling this a US C team is arguably a bit generous. A C team would still include the likes of Josh Sargent, Haji Wright, Reggie Cannon, and Mark McKenzie. It's arguably a D team for outfield players, maybe a C-team only due to the keeper.

Arent those guys on the B team making this a C team? Wright and Sargent played in the world cup. They aren’t on a USA C team.

Wright probably never should have gotten called to the World Cup over Pepi..but he did score a goal vs The Netherlands lol Agree the US's depth right now is elite......this really is the golden generation king1010 and Shway 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
