Excitng news as I broke the USF FRMC Ticket Revenue record in a fiscal year!
I want to thank my USF team and @theaspire_group leadership for having the utmost confidence and enabling me the tools to reach my goals.
‘19-‘20 was awesome, but big things for ‘20-‘21
#HornsUp 🤘
There is a lot of “Paraguay isn’t very good” talk. Full stop.
Under Alfaro, they lost just once in WCQ and went 9 straight without defeat. They beat URG, Brazil, & Argentina.
They were one of the best defensive teams in the 🌎.
Paraguay isn’t bad.
#USMNT made them look bad.
The USMNT has just scored 3 goals against a team that only allowed 6 in WCQ under Alfaro.
Their movement is causing all kinds of problems, making Paraguay look pedestrian. I can't stress enough how impressive they are 45 minutes in. #USMNT
USA have tactical balance, lots of quality, lots of athleticism, a great culture, & some key difference makers in chaotic/transitional game-states (Adams, McKennie, Robinson, Tillman, Pulisic, Balogun).
That also elevates those who are not on that level around them (Dest, Ream).
They can beat anyone in this World Cup based on this showing, although we will certainly need to see them against sterner opposition.
This game has almost exclusively consisted of the USA sustaining pressure because Paraguay are not pressing high and cannot get out because of USA’s counter-press. They are also not building but when they go long they are coming out second best in the duels. The difference in athleticism is stark.
“I think that’s the greatest half of group play from a men’s team at a World Cup in history. Everything went right, total dominance from top to bottom.” 🇺🇸
@AlexiLalas is fired up after the @USMNT went up 3-0 in the first half vs Paraguay
