Actually great for Poch - he gets to yell at them at halftime that [U]every minute matters[/U]. In group play, conceding a late goal in a game you think you've already won may cost you advancing. A coach's dream. Best we have looked since we kicked Mexico's butts a few years ago with Pulisic and that gang, when they first earned their stripes. These are the third choice guys, and they looked super well drilled in how they progressed the ball against Marcelo Bielsa's famous press, and how well they controlled the ball in midfield, getting nearly all the loose balls against some very experienced pros in Uruguay's midfield, like Betancur and Ugarte.
