2022 World Cup

If you bring him in as a sub and it turns out he can’t go, you’re screwed and could be down to 10.

Then if he can't go, he isn't a sub

 

[ForCuseSake]

Never seen a more deferential striker in a WC.

What the farq is Ferreira doing leaving that cross off to nobody.

 

[PoppyHart]

Ferreira is shaky potatos.

 

[djcon57]

Ferreria has been basically a disaster

 

[qdawgg]

If we score I think it’s the Dutch fault. Our best chance to score is getting them spread out and they’re playing aggressively enough to allow that to happen.

 

[orangenauburn]

The hell was Jesus doing? Ball just rolling in front and he backs off

 

[qdawgg]

Yeah they have a 6'5 and 6'4 guy in back and Jesus is 5'9. Let's give him jump balls

It makes zero sense and it’s almost like the practiced these sets like it made sense to do.

If he’s gonna play a glorified CAM role then they should’ve started Aaronson.

 

[orangenauburn]

Man

 

[ForCuseSake]

Sub

Optimal

 

[NineOneSeven]

The cut back pass again. That’s brutal.

 

[qdawgg]

Game over now. Unfortunately.

I think we can play with them we’re just not playing smart.

 

[OburgOrange]

Definitely over

 

[orangenauburn]

Nail

 

[djcon57]

Sargent’s injury killed us.

 

[orangenauburn]

We missed chances, controlled possession, then two smooth passes equal game over

 

[Melancer46]

I now understand why we rkeptnrolling with Haji over Ferreira lol. Hopefully the second half solution is neither.

 

[Vorony]

Berhalter’s refusal to sub out when things clearly aren’t working is what sinks us. Just mind blowing decisions on his part this whole tournament.

 

[Melancer46]

Sargent’s injury killed us.

In all likelihood he wouldn’t have saved us from this but it’s definitely a significant drop off from him to Haji and Ferreira.

Yeah I didnt mean by his play, but hes not MLS Ferreira.

 

[orangenauburn]

Right but maybe he doesn't have the lazy turnovers and actually is involved in the game. Jesus is just getting in cardio today.

 

[ForCuseSake]

The cut back pass again. That’s brutal.

This is what I wish we would do on attack.

Take it wide and send low crosses in for volleys.

Harder to do when not in transition (Dutch are well organized) but we’re unlikely to beat them crossing for headers.

 

[crv1728]

Ferreira lacks the foot speed.

He lacks everything needed to play at this level.

 

[Orangezoo]

I don't think it's just Sargeant. Not having Reyna available in a bigger role for whatever reason hurts. We have dominated possession and can't pick a pass in the final third. Reyna is without a doubt the most capable guy on the roster to do so.

If you want to take a positive from this it would be we can dominate possession against a world power and have them playing more defensive to counter. The negative is we can't play and win against the best that way if we don't have enough finishers.
