I love the USMNT and want them to win. I can't also help but be a little ok with them losing to Panama and Canada in today's climate. Not fair to the players maybe but.. they'll be fine

I think we can say with confidence now that Berhalter was a good manager.

I haven't been as engaged with US Soccer mostly bc so little has changed (despite the coaching change). There are some tactical nuances & some different personnel selections but all they've done is demonstrate what many of us knew. Tactics, squad selection and coachig have not been the core problem

LOL- Panama gets 1 shot on target.

Panama determined not to lose. Winning- not that important. They have 35% possession and 0 shots on target after 81 mintues.

I like these subs. Particularly McGlynn. I've been wanting him for these games for awhile.

I can't help but think a McGlyn could help them crack this game more....

The dominance has been clear. I have to say- they look like a Brazil team playing an old US team. Outclassing - best chances- dominating on the ball. The game could easily be 3-0 now. Feels like they just need to keep going. - no crazy defensive mistakes

Armchair Analyst: T-100 minutes til the USMNT take the field in the Nations League semis. I came up with a list of what I want to see from Poch's group over the next two games, and unpacked some assumptions I'd made in the wake of Qatar.

A Tim Weah to Weston McKennie goal against Manchester City like this is 🤌🏽

Its not just that they are winning 4-0. Its how well they are playing and how nice the goals (except 1) have been

This is just delightful ball from the USMNT, some of the best we've seen in a long, long while 👨🍳
Just one of many great sequences from the first 45 in St. Louis.

Prediction- Poch is going to do what Flick did... use this to get another shot at a big team

The difference in this version of the US & GB is not tactics. Its training. I don't know what they are doing different but there are not huge tactical differences.- some cool creative ones.. The diff are how they training them.I would love to know what it is... if I did .. I'd be making Poch money.

I really don't like Scally's decisions on deep crosses. I really prefer him staying back but Jam is falling deeper and deeper
