Since there's no conference games tonight, feel free to cheer on the USMNT

Only been watching for 5 minutes, but already seen three good runs. Are we actually this fancy or is El Salvador overmatched?

Lots more fancy dribbling and passing skills with these guys compared to past US teams.

There was some good link-up play on the right with Weah and Dest. Pulisic was roaming around trying to find time on the ball, and midfield 3 were dropping too deep. Need a natural striker in there though to put pressure on the back line. And John Brooks passing ability out of the back would have been good to have.

What an absolutely brutal half. Terrible play. 

Midfield 3 taking turns to drop deep and do the CB's job of making line breaking passes. But then Ferreira has to drop deep himself to fill in the midfield hole.

Pulisic has been trying to do too much and getting frustrated. Honestly wouldn't mind to see Aaronson come on for him. And need Pepi in there to help keep the Salvador defense on their toes.

Or maybe just a GGG pep talk is all they need!

And a stellar save prevents a 2nd.

This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Yeah, the spacing in the midfield was AWFUL. They're in a much better place now, with McKennie playing up higher as he should be, especially without a true 9 playing tonight right now. 

It looks like Aaronson is getting set to be subbed in now. 

edit: yep, Aaronson for Pulisic. I think Aaronson moves up to the 9 and Ferreira slides to the wing.

Well that's mercifully over.... but if McKennie and/or Adams (who pulled up lame on the next to last play as well) are unavailable and/or we play this way against Canada, we're losing badly.

Pepi and Miles Robinson will rotate in. Also expect a bounce back from Pulisic. I still think a draw is more likely than a loss.

El Salvador did a good job of uglying up the game.  Score aside, it really wasnt that close of a game.

 

Canada is hurting right now, too.

 

Mexico really struggled to beat a 10 man Jamaica.  Had to come from behind.

Yes xG actually had us dominating. Like 2.7-.2 or something. Robinson’s goal was great and he has some decentish runs but I hate his crossing, so i don’t want him as far wide as they used him.
