were thoroughbreds today.

Honorable mention to Ream, Robinson (some heavy touches notwithstanding) and Pulisic of course for his goal.

All in all, don’t have anything bad to say about anyone in particular. Hope to see more out of #9, but we don’t have a true goal scorer.

as he was in his other appearance. But otherwise, I agree.

He did things outside the posts that created chances - two of which probably should have been goals. I feel for him, because based on his reaction it looks like his WC is over. He was super involved today, helped progress and shift the ball a lot. Basically did things you expect a good 9 to do except score...which none of our 9s are doing anyway.

Admittedly the GKs at this level are difficult to beat, but we seem to make an extra pass or two that Harry Kane or Ronaldo wouldn't. Few of our players are the primary scoring option for their team and seem reluctant to take shots at times.

By 250-300 minutes. Most starts, too. He and Adams can lock down midfields for the next 8-10 years.
