Thank you for the article, Grant. It’s nice to read your analysis that isn’t as hysterical as most of the analysis I’ve seen surrounding USMNT. I really enjoy being a subscriber.
Great read, Grant. Calmness in the face of chaos is a virtue. But your reply below is right on. If they win Wednesday, pressure’s off 3G. If they don’t, the heat gets turned up to boil.
Costa Rica are the kings of packing it in. And Keylor Navas is still between the sticks. I sure hope they didn’t basically throw that game away only to struggle in this one.
When you have a team culture that is grounded in a common goal and an appreciation for the stakeholders working together, you respond to adversity in positive ways. Let's see what happens against Costa Rica to judge whether or not the culture Berhalter is setting with a young team is effective.
Just joined as a paid subscriber and I’m glad I did. Nice article, Grant. You take a much more long-term view then others in the media and I appreciate it
Halloween came early for me—that was some scary s**t last night. No flow, no cohesion & no shots on target? It really looked like our team had never played before. And I guess they hadn’t with all the shuffling in the lineup. Leaving out Pepi & Aaronson as starters was mind boggling to me.
We’ve got our work cut out for us against the Ticos. We have to win this upcoming home match. They’re on a high with their comeback win against El Salvador.
I also hope McKennie’s knock won’t rule him out of the next match. We desperately need link ups in the midfield which we didn’t have in Panama. Our guys need to have short-term memory loss including Berhalter. I know the players can do a 180, hopefully the coach can too.
