The players "aren't good enough" is 100% false.

You've got one of the best shot stoppers in the Bundesliga, with 2 or 3 backups that are nearly as good.

You have a right back who was rated by most publications between 8-12 best right back in the EPL last season.

You have a potential midfield pairing of two starting Champions League midfielders.

You have a centerback pairing that can rotate in a UCL-level Bundesliga team CB and a bunch of guys who are boarderline EPL/ECL players.

Add on top of that one of the most expensive young player transfers in the last few years.

We lost to a bunch of MLS non-factors and CPL players.  Plus a Bayern youth player.

It's not a talent issue.  We have lots of talent compared to the rest of CONCACAF.  I expected our talent to be better at this point than it is, but that's not the reason we lost to Canada.  We are easily the second most talented team in our region.  By a LOOOONG shot.

My boy GGG, who I LOOOOVED as a MLS coach, is gutting our identity.  He has created a system with zero shape, that is weak to a counter, and has decided backline's M.O. should be to constantly gamble.

But the MLS playoffs are unbelievably entertaining though -- so I got that going for me.
