USA men finally woke up and delivered a beat down. If Costa Rica beats Honduras, Only need a draw against T&T next week I believe to guarantee qualification.

Why it takes this team having their backs against the wall to play well is beyond me.

It took dumbass Bruce Arena to finally see what everyone else in the world saw long ago: Pulisic in the middle = W

Struggling to get through our putrid region does not bold well for our chances in Russia, obviously. It was nice to see them play with some life last night. Pulisic can be a difference maker at times but will it be enough to beat the worlds best? This team has a long road ahead.
 
I missed the first half and most of the action and will have to catch it on replay. Altidore hitting the soft PK, lol looks great if you guess right and awful if you don't. Where was Bobby Wood during the Gold Cup? I don't remember him in that tournament. I agree with the announcer that Concacaf needs to review video on some of these late slides for the purpose of bringing a player down. Pulisic could have been seriously hurt with the game basically over and the intent of the Panamanian's player intent was blatantly obvious to every except the refs.

This is a great time to be watching USA soccer. We are seeing the beginnings of what may be one of the great or greatest USA players in Christian Pulisic.

Hopefully CP will succeed where other American hyped players failed. This kid is legit, I watch him every week with Borussia Dortmund, he plays at a very high level. I watch the USMNT just to see him play.
 
I watched the whole game last night. It was a lot of fun to watch, and a great win, but Michael Bradley still makes me feel like they can lose any game.

Holy cow CP is the real deal. Looks like the ball is tied to his feet while running which gives the illusion of complete control. I've never seen an American player be able to do that. Playing him as a CAM sounds like the right place to be....The only problem is he is young/smallish thus opponents will try pounding him, like Panama did last night and the prior team did in the last match. How does he get around this at Dortmund?
 
He plays both winger and MF on BD, but often find his way out wide either way, specifically the right side.

CP is the primary reason I'm excited about watching US soccer right now. Other than him there's a bunch of aging guys out there who aren't nearly as good as they once were. CP makes me excited, but who else do we have coming up behind him to give him the support we'll need moving forward?

They are seriously missing an enforcer like Jermaine Jones to cover the middle and punish anyone trying to attack.

Showing my local tie bias here, but how's it looking for Weston McKennie over with Schalke? Seems he and CP could grow in to something interchanging at CAM and RM with Nagbe going to town on the left side?

I just happened to have watch a Schalke match a week or so ago and they were mentioning how they'd just signed him to a 4 or 5-year deal. He started the match I saw, played pretty well, and was subbed around the 60-70th minute somewhere. I haven't seen him play other than that match, but really happy to see we have another US player plying his trade at a top flight European club. I plan to watch as many matches of theirs that I can now to keep my eye on him (and Leon Goretzka...who is the big next German star, IMO)

Yeah, I thought he flopped at first and why I posted it (customary soccer thread post you know). But sure as salt that coach snatched him down...
 
Did anyone see the pond that the Yanks had to practice on down at T and T? Pathetic. Oh ya, go Ecuador and beat Argentina.
