@noah_russe34558@CalcioMoneyball@hydr0g0d No one said anything about controlling the game. They correctly said we were IN the game. The 2nd half subs and tactical changes were giving us a fighting chance. Then the keeper howler ripped their hearts out. Took until final 15 minutes to recover and remember to fight.
Lalas is so full of shit i can smell it from here. No manager in the world could fix the broken mental state of this team in so little time. Berhalter ruined them. The right mentality has to be fostered from day 1 and US soccer let these men down. But ya toss Poch. Superb idea 🙄
No, I think Pochettino did a really good job of injecting national pride and passion into this USMNT. His flaw (or failure) was losing the game that he was hired to win, and losing it in a way that undid much of the good the team had amassed through the tournament.
@soccerbil@AgentSmith34 100%. Poch needs a full era with this squad to undo the damage. He did amazing under the circumstances and time constraint he faced
@AgentSmith34 But it was the team we were very familiar with coming into the tournament. This team has no general to marshal them, no heart when the chips are down, and no edge or extra gears when they need it most. They have shown us again and again.
