and Pulisic knows it. No matter how good or deep this team is, there will ALWAYS be a chance he will get out-coached in ANY game. He did a great job this summer, but this one falls on his tactics.

They (Canada) played 5 in the back. How about taking some long shots and make them come out to close them down?

Davies should have been "professionally" placed on his ass at least three times in the first thirty minutes.

I would have moved Dest to a forward wing and moved Adams to the back and had him shadow Davies the whole time.

You're at home. Get physical. Get aggressive.

Oh well, that's just me and what do I know.

Losing Dest really hurt

He was doing a good job 1v1 against Davies, and Yedlin can't keep up.

Poor coverage help (and the opposite fullback failing to cover the back post properly with the shifts) led to most of the CA opportunities and their goal.

I don't know why he held off on making changes for so long. Go at the 5-4-1 with 2 strikers.
