and that continues.

Gregg got out-coached in the first half, waiting to adjust at halftime. Japan's pressure was not unexpected was it?

Weston and Luca didn't look good. Long - yuck.

I went in thinking "Gregg is just tweaking final players - this will be fine". This isn't fine. We probably aren't going to get out of the group.

LDLT looked completely overmatched.

For the first 35-40 minutes of the game, I'm not sure there was a single time he got the ball that didn't result in an immediate giveaway.

Dest, McKennie and Aaronson weren't any great shakes, but it must've been extremely limiting for them that the pivot player in their passing scheme on that side was a guaranteed turnover.
