Man that pitch was baaaaad!

No way the World Cup pitches can have that be acceptable. US grass over turf has got to be better. Playing on top of carpet sucks!

US got hemmed in too many times and played too deep. They were missing quality 8’s and 10’s. Striker was lacking as well.

If the US had their full quality first team, combined with this B team’s drive and desire to play for the crest we might not get grouped at the World Cup.


Hats off to Mexico. They were the better team today.

Yeah Mexico far outplayed us. No possession and no attack. Luna and Berhalter had to pretty much play as extra defensemen.

Definite home game for Mexico, to be expected.

I hope Poch can get this fire out of some of our regulars. Not much time to do it

What was the AEG one?

Daaannng, Moog, pulling no punches today.

Agreed about the pitch being trash it also looked muggy af. Hats off to Mexico indeed. The stats said it all --possession, shots, defensive blocks--all Mexico.That header by Alvarez was the dagger tho. I feel like even after 70+ minutes of the match you could still smell a faint hint of his cologne. =)Those guys looked great, in all the ways that matter and don't.

Hey, you need to beat the best to be the best. Rivals are a good thing and Mexico having our number is fueling our fire. Hopefully.
