That bounce was insane, that led to that chance

I just do not understand why Gio isn't getting any PT. Every time he plays for the MNT he's making plays. Maybe he is just one of those guys who doesn't practice well.

Yes it's seriously confusing. He's an opportunist for us

God lord that pass by Gio. Wright is scoring but Gio is making it happen.

Reyna with another crucial loose ball win and a quick pass to put Haji in

Haji Wright carrying over his Coventry form over to the USMNT.
oh no

I wonder if anyone from Nottingham is watching

Reyna to Wright has a nice ring to it.

He's a let a few of those go through from both teams lately that could have been a yellow

Looked like Puli cramped planting to take that shot

Hopefully that's just cramping.
oh no

That's a yellow come on
oh no

oh no

Expect CP will be fine for Sunday. He just put in a full 120'

That was a Gregg special.

But Gio came on for Scally right?
So we started Scally over Gio? Guess Greggggg is still mad about 2022.

Well that was almost (more) embarrassing!

Not a lot to celebrate. Jamaica was missing half of its squad and they finally ran out of gas after gifting us extra time.

I think that was all about Gio not playing for NF and not being able to play a full 90.

So instead he plays 75

To be fair, it's probably a different game if Jamaica does score in 30 seconds. ET showed a way more open game when tied

In all fairness, scally plays quite a bit I. The Bundesliga and Gio can't find a team that will play him.

That and they don't play the same role, so it's definitely not Scally over Gio, regardless of him technically subbing for him.
oh no

Early opening goal allowed them to park the bus for 90 mins. I think we were unlucky in regular time 1) with a handled ball not called or reviewed and 2) ref not allowing advantage when Gio was running onto goal with the ball after they fouled pulisic

Gregg issues aside, I still think our team has a problem that is not immediately obvious. Its great that we are puttin so many players in top leagues for good team, and they are getting playing time and succeeding.
just about NONE of them are playing as "THE" guy on their team day to day.

I thought we were going to have the most embarrassing loss of the night, thankfully Kentucky took one for the team

CP and McKennie are doing that for Juve and I think Jedi is earning praise at Fulham, at least as much as a LB can. I saw a suggestion that ManU may be looking at him. That would be a big leap up as long as he actually played. I would rather he play every day at Fulham than play random minutes backing up Shaw.

Weah seems buried and Gio is persona non grata everywhere. And Turner has also lost his spot.
oh no

maybe we should ask all our guys to move to MLS so they can play as THE guy on all their respective club teams.
