@AlexiLalas What could he have done differently in that game? Different formation? Tactics?

[Erick Gadala @egmfc]

@OmarKelly Isn’t it ok for Dolphins fans to have low expectations this year?

The team got blown up and is rebuilding.

Anyone thinking we are going to do well needs to look again.

Let’s just see that the team improves throughout the year.

@TheFrankIsola Just introduce the hockey concept of a blue line. Anything beyond that line is fair game. Could be the goalie box.

[Erick Gadala @egmfc]

@PoupartNFL Nothing wrong with that. Soccer and Hockey are very similar, but when you watch them, Hockey has more scoring.

Why? Because the blue line creates a scoring zone without an offsides rule.

Soccer could change their offside rules and increase scoring. Would make it more exciting.

@SiClancy @JohnLeFevre Spend over $1k for a ticket for World Cup in US? Or hope for lower prices in Spain in 2030 (assuming you are traveling in Spain regardless)?

[Erick Gadala @egmfc]

@OmarKelly Sports athletes/professionals are human. They are not a robot, video game, or super hero.

As fans, and as coaches, general managers, owners, and players, we must stop putting pressure on players to return to play too early.

Players need to be fully recovered to play again.

@HenryBushnell @PaulTenorio @tombogert And that’s 5 straight undefeated World Cup group stage matches for the USA.

[Erick Gadala @egmfc]

@stclaudeii Antonio Freeman’s son scored in Seattle. The Freeman’s are used to scoring in Seattle 😎

[Erick Gadala @egmfc]

@BrianSciaretta The back line needs to keep their poise and not give away balls and minimize chances.

A shutout would be very promising.

[Erick Gadala @egmfc]

@EricWynalda Would love to see a shutout. I need to see this defense lock down a team.

[Erick Gadala @egmfc]

@landondonovan @USMNT Almost as good as your 1st half versus Portugal in South Korea?

Don’t think we have forgotten that. Amazing start to that World Cup.

[Erick Gadala @egmfc]

@NateSilver538 It rivals the 1st half against Portugal in South Korea. I would put that 1st half as a better one given the opponent.

But very close.

[Erick Gadala @egmfc]

@HenryBushnell The goal needs to be the Quarterfinals. This team does not have the required central defenders to make it beyond that (if they even get there).

But if they have their best games in the careers, anything is possible.

One more point. The goalkeepers MUST play better.

[Erick Gadala @egmfc]

@AlexiLalas It’s not that people are hyped or not hyped.

People will be excited to watch the World Cup.

Most fans don’t trust this version of the US team. So expectations are lower, and excitement is lower.

Couple that with insane ticket prices, and the hype / excitement level is lower.

[Erick Gadala @egmfc]

@EricWynalda It’s crazy how long it’s been since team USA had good defenders.

Hoping this year’s defenders step up and prove themselves worthy.

[Erick Gadala @egmfc]

@abc7newsbayarea They need to protect the park and make the visiting experience much better by bringing back the reservation system.

[Erick Gadala @egmfc]

@AlexiLalas Loved it! How can I rewatch it?

[Erick Gadala @egmfc]

@OmarKelly Since when do coaches feel the need to hype up their players?

Did Bill Walsh hype up Montana?

Did Shula hype up Marino?

There is no need to hype anyone up in the offseason.

You can provide positive feedback in front of the media IF they had a good game.

[Erick Gadala @egmfc]

@OmarKelly You need to break it down by cost category.

More expensive restaurants tend to have better food.

But great options can be found in lower price categories.
