Pretty much the epitome of what is wrong with the old-guard of US coaches. Could easily have been Tab Ramos (The Tyler Adams role was essentially pulled straight from the youth WC, but without the high press) or Bruce Arena trotting out 3 defensive midfielders, no attacking creativity, another inexplicable start for Zardes and force Morris to not just play out of position on the wing but as an out and out wide midfielder. Oh and force a struggling centerbarck, who's struggles were clearly on display, to go from start to finish.
Tottenham: To dare is to do.
US Soccer: Yes, but what if we give up a goal in a meaningless friendly? Creativity sits on the bench.
Not exactly a thrilling spectacle overall, in general, I agree with DaMa: too much graft, not enough craft.
Also, can we stop calling Gyasi in until he at least starts performing well in the MLS again? I get that he runs hard and offers a willing, physical presence on the wings, but it's difficult to justify his inclusion when his form for LA was so woeful last season. Plus, his first touch...we have enough styrofoam-footed attackers as it is.
