Great result but I hate how often it feels like the nats play to the west coast . 10:15 kickoff on a work night is just too much for us old guys .
Right after the ref let the one Mexican player lower his shoulder into Reyna's head and not give any card for it, I messaged several people that this one is about to get out of hand.I really liked how the offense flowed and looked really dynamic over and over again. BJ had these guys rolling. I will say I also enjoyed Robinson and Richards at CB, especially with their distribution in the 1st half. Willing to send a few well placed long balls and diagonals behind Mexico's high line, stretch out Mexico's defense.
The ref was peak CONCACAF ref. Enjoyed the fire from the guys, was an entertaining match from beginning to end, albeit ending with Mexican fans unfortunately turning to their asinine chant.
TBH not sure how I feel about the GGG rumors, being that the boys looked more open, fluid, and flexible on the front foot- something that was missing under GGG. Part of me wishes BJ had some more time with the team to see what he can do.
I also wanted to go in a different direction but now with the complete f'in meltdown that I'm seeing I am now 100% on the GGG train.But they wasted six months and then just hired the same guy and Gio and Scally and MLS and urgencxz styleggh plablah zeeble bop fickle fackle gregg Gregg GREGG GGGGG!!!!!
The Gregg is dead. Long live the Gregg.
Unless the reports are wrong. Then Hail the Usurper!

To hea Pulisic tell it, last night was a direct expression of Berhalter-ball. Or maybe he was talking about the vibes? Either way, that it was an extension of what GGG developed. Not sure if it's true, but that's what he said.
Really? I wonder if Ricardo Pepi feels the same? He had a great goal, just like when GGG used him in the WC when we didn’t have any strikers to play. Oh wait…To hea Pulisic tell it, last night was a direct expression of Berhalter-ball. Or maybe he was talking about the vibes? Either way, that it was an extension of what GGG developed.

The Athletic already had the story about Reyna and had it ready to publish the next morning when Berhalter's comments leaked. So, while he was certainly wrong to speak about it at that forum, he's not the reason it became public, and Reyna seems fine regardless.It was probably the most dominant win I've seen the team play against Mexico. The Berhalter news is just so so so so disappointing. We can't forget that he threw Gio Reyna under the bus in front of the media and put his whole career in jeopardy.
Hadn't seen that - thanks.mgarbowski - are you enjoying how ripped-shirt McKennie is becoming a thing?
Regardless, he didn't do anything to protect the player from any impending exposés on his behavior.The Athletic already had the story about Reyna and had it ready to publish the next morning when Berhalter's comments leaked.

This describes every soccer coach on the planethis player choices and who he calls up... baffling at times.
