@3four3 A contender could punish the US but this game didn't illustrate that. AUS challenged us with their tight defensive shell, size, physicality, and energy. A contender is unlikely to play like that. It'll be a different set of challenges we haven't had to respond to yet.
@HenryBushnell@DanielKarell@TheAthleticFC And this is why the "if our best athletes played soccer" argument is so ridiculous. Not only because it assumes athletic ability is the limiting factor, but because in doing so it exposes such a hopeless lack of understanding of the game.
