Did Pochettino fix USMNT or was Senegal testing shit? They looked very good for a team that a few months ago barely knew how to defend
>>154983991Last international break we played a back 4We are substantially better playing with 3 at the backWe played 3 cbs when we beat Paraguay and absolutely dog walked Uruguay
>>154983991We still cant defend. This is just offset by us actually scoring goals for once.
>>154984080I don’t think either of those goals happen if we didn’t sub on Miles RobinsonWho shouldn’t see the field unless we are trying to defend a lead near the end game and parking the bus
>>154983991He fixed them months ago with a back 3USA humiliated Uruguay 5-1 with it, beat Paraguay, beat Japan, beat AustraliaThen he switched back to 442 so it wouldn't be exposed after that.He then brought back the back 3 vs Senegal. We're unbeaten in it.He has unironically solved the USMNT.It allows our mutts to press and transition which is what theyre good at.
>>154986333Checked
>>154983991Wasn't this 4-2 in the end? What happened to the third goal?
>>154986408it got silently VAR'd I think
>>154986333Shhh dont tell them
>>154986438Strange it got dealt with like that. Never seen a goal disallowed in such a fashion that even the commentators never even brought it up.
>>154986596New to the thread but my dad and I were fucking livid for several minutes about what the fuck was up with the damn score. We were not happy boys
>>154986596They actually called off 2 USA goals! One was legit because of var offside. The other was bizzare and because of a phantom foul, honestly it was sketchy. Probably because of bets made.
>>154986333Poch solved them + most talented team ever + home world cup + USA historically always overperforms at the world cup.Yeah I'm thinking quarterfinals
>>154983991>friendlies
>>154986653Even disregarding all of these things, I’m just simply glad we brought a striker to this World Cup, we literally, with no embellishment, didn’t have a striker at the last World Cup. That was fucking rough.
>>154986633I don't blame you. Hope it doesn't happen again for any team but especially with you guys being hosts. >>154986643Definitely sketchy. Like I said to the other anon lets hope they don't do this again.
>>154986662I really hope we get to play England again. Deep down you know you fear it.
>>154986666Checked. We have two good strikers now too. We had none last world cup!
>>154986333Poch really did figure it out. No one knows what's coming.
>>154986726
>>154986333We need him to go back to 442 vs Germany on Saturday so we don't get figured out before the real games start.
>>154986333Maybe he actually knows what he's doing
senegal was weird, they had creative offense and perfect vertical passes but also absolutely atrocious crosses and kept losing the ball in the most comical ways
>>154986333sending this post to Alfaro rn
>>154986684I do. The England v US match at the last world cup was one of the worst matches i've ever watched.
>>154987451Nooooooo
