Message: [QUOTE="Forza Azzurri, post: 4147651, member: 1452"] 3 points is 3 points. Aren't going to play your A game everytime and to still get a win with less than stellar efforts from a number of key players is ok in my book. Agree with just about everything although I thought Musah should have come off rather than McKennie. I also think Robinson was higher by design to allow Pulisic to cut inside and that Richards having to cover in behind Robinson was intentional. It looks like defensive weakness but Berhalter was willing to concede that space since he wanted Robinson playing higher. Italy does the same thing with Spinazzola\Emerson and Insignie. Except Italy has Chiellini whose understanding of how to cover is at a different level relative to a youngster like Richards. I think we play for a point on Sunday and then look to get 3 more on Wednesday. [/QUOTE]
