They do in regional qualifying but romp home easily, as do NZ, Brazil and a few other teams that are extra strong relative to their opposition.

France at -200 probably a pretty good bet. US without its bets defenders, Dest hasn't been any good at all. Gloster is more of an attacker. This one could get out of hand early.

US pressing high... it just feels like a bad strategy against a better side.

On the subject at youth football, I noticed it was Freddy Adu’s 30th birthday the other day. #newpele

France has tested out wide so far but, to Dest's credit he looks up for it. Gloster solid as well. Gotta think the weakness is in the middle. Pomykal looks good as expected. Soto doesn't have anything for France's CBs though.
edit: Just as I type that, Keita roasted.

Annnnd it's Ledezma. It was head-scratching that he wasn't playing much at all in the group stage. He's rested and has been the best attacker. Looks like he's much better rested than the others.

Annnnd that's why Weah got a PSG contract. Jesus that was close.

yyyeahhhh... weakness is in the middle. Ledezma and Pomykal are both pressing too high at time and there is huge space behind. WAY to much to ask of Richards and Keita.

After 30 minutes, of the real chances so far USA has had roughly half of them even if they're not strong on the ball. Gotta wonder about how long Pomykal and Ledezma can run like this. I know they should be rested but they're both playing literally goal mouth to goal mouth

Servania and Konrad need to do more. They're killing possession.

Pomykal needs to come off. He's been poor since his injury.

US really with no set piece fluency either which completely stunts any opportunity to level this.
