Hasn’t been perfect but I like the looks of the Robinson and Richards pairing at center back.

Robinson is excellent

I officially hate this ref. That’s not how it should work sir.

 

[carolinablue232]

Robinson is excellent

Mistake aside, he really has everything you want in a center back.

I have no problem with Valencia at all in theory but they haven't played him centrally for the first team and to me he's just clearly a central midfielder. So at some point he's got to decide if they're right for him.

Neither do I. That's why I kind threw in that, half assed not that they're small or their is anything wrong with them. I just don't really watch la liga... and also what guy stays with a club for more than 5 years anyways so it was a relatively pointless comment

I just don't really watch la Liga much so I hope he makes a move to England or Germany.

Zardes is a horrific player at national team level but that song Columbus has for him is great

I'll probably sound dumb for saying this as I get squad rotations are going even deeper with the 3 game windows.

But Hoppe and Busio... is everyone getting participation trophies? Maybe you have to do it. I don't know. I don't really like it to be honest. Hope was waiting to come on while the 2nd goal was scored. He's not bad, but... idk if it was who I had in mind. Was it out of necessity or just so these guys don't feel left out? Is he a gym teacher?

Busio is a borderline starter if Gregg stops being dumb

Big win. Should’ve been more straightforward but we stay on track after the Panama mess.

 

[TheBigIguana]

With the good players we had two good performances and wins. With the bad players we played one of the worst games in the last couple of decades in qualifying. Easy lesson to learn really Gregg.

Panama and Canada staying 1-1 would be good for us

I think Hoppe was the right sub. But I get what you’re saying. Feels like Gregg is about making the guys feel included and he’s pretty sentimental. Think that’s why Steffan got the start tonight with it being in his old city too. No other reason exists to have put Turner on the bench unless he’s hurt…which he’s not

Think we played well in spurts tonight but we really should’ve put that to bed. Costa Rica are an awful side these days. Shadows of their former selves.

This aged not well. Davies just did Davies things.
