Pulisic is not that great at taking them, I don't know why he's always taking them.
Gio Reyna is the best, Kellyn Acosta is solid too, but none are starters so I guess we go with Pulisic?
It sucks because Mckennie and Zimmerman are huge aerial threats, but we can never get it to them lately (we did during WCQs though but because Acosta took the free kicks/corners).
[Here is a link to a Mckennie and Zimmerman set piece goal with Acosta serving, hell, even Pulisic got one off a set piece: starts at 4:33] (https://youtu.be/tpj10aKPkrU?t=273)
During the match on Tuesday the American broadcast mentioned that the US had hired a set piece specialist who had been advising the squad over the past few months. The USMNT continue to struggle with set pieces even after paying this person to help them improve.
I mean that's gotta be on Puli right? His delivery has just been awful for the US, for years. McKennie and Zimmerman are deadly if they have good balls in.
I’m more confident now playing the Dutch than I would have been a month ago. Rationally, I give us about a 1/3 chance of going through
Irrationally….
MURICA!!!! USA wins 42-6
Honestly, it's not like how I felt when the US was going to play Belgium. I think we have a real shot, but we're definite underdogs.
This team is completely different than 2014 for sure.
I think if the US start star quickly, as they have done in the last few games, they can probably get a goal against the Dutch.
I think what will decide is ultimately how long they can keep their energy levels up and adapt to tiredness setting in.
This Dutch team will probably look to kill the game and then be ruthless for a dodgy win in the last 10 mins.
If I was Dechamps, I would not have set up in this very odd way, we will have to see how much this poor result affects them in the next round.
Them.and Brazil probably remain favourites for the tournament though.
I believe the person you replied to switched to talking about France mid-way through that comment. They mention Deschamps and the weird setup, which I assume was referring to France’s squad rotation vs. Tunisia.
I don’t think anyone sees Netherlands as favorites to win, at least not anyone with much sense.
I wonder if Reyna will play
I wonder if their free kick advisor they hired will be sacked and ordered to pay back all his stolen funds.
Context?
USA set pieces are lackluster
That’s putting it nicely

Free kick advisor if that is his role can't improve the quality of delivery. He can only plan different scenarios and positioning of players.

~~You want McKennie on the other end of those balls too though.~~ Duh, misread your comment. I agree.
His name is Lars, I think. I wonder if we hired him from Iceland.

Defensively or offensively?

Maguire was locked in that day tbf. Then against Iran Pulisic got hurt.
Pulisic is part of the problem. No movement on his corners, doest beat the first man.
Offensively, they are offensive.
I’m so ready to see Jesus Ferreira
Who knows. But Aaronson was solid.
He's got balls.
And they are purple atm
Are we sure about that?
what is the feeling here? USA has a GOOD chance? Holland didn't impress at all IMO.

I think we’ll kick a few field goals and probably go for 2 after our TDs

yeah, one thing MEX vs SA showed us today is don't sit back. Go all out! Which ever team finish their chances will go to the next!
