Ecuador v. US halftime.  1-0 to the visitors.

Enner Valencia is a fine player with lots of skill.  Fine goal, just an excellent effort, as Richards was right on him defensively, and had made it a really tough angle.

We look pretty good.  I like 3 in the back. Less reliance on our fullbacks, by playing guys like Weah at wingback. Seems like a pretty good fit for these personnel.

Balogun was running behind and really causing probems.  He was terrific.  Malik Tillman was pretty good, had some moments.

Tessman looks good as a holding MF.  He's got some bite, and is a pretty big guy. Nice alternative to Tyler Adams. Good player.  Aidan Morris has mostly been invisible alongside him in MF.

McKennie is playing further forward, and is around the action, but no real big contributions yet.

We're getting a lot of corners (8 in the 1st half!), but have to cash in on one.  We have good size in the box compared to them.

Weah has been a bit on the periphery.

I'll bet Poch would love for the starters to get an early goal to start the 2nd half, before he turns to subs on the bench.
