US Men's National Soccer Team Thread: USA #1 - Page 1018 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Yea like France were the much better team but we held our own and didn't concede then hit them against the run of play just before halftime. I don't think this has been a bad performance by USA by any means.

Pogba, Griezman, Kante, Mbappe, etc.. and this is your B Team?? LOL

He's no Taylor Twellman. Not nearly as egregious as TT made it out to be. Should be onside obviously but then he's not in the same position to score there if he is

And yes i know we should hammer your team but its just a half of football in a preparation game for us, i'm like not putting anything into it.

Our A team is a 433 with Tolisso and Dembele in

And for the team we are putting out there it was an extremely encouraging half and this performance has been very encouraging.

I get it's not the World Cup and I'm as big an lol friendly guy as anybody but for a bunch of kids to go into France and play their World Cup team this well is encouraging

andre 2 players missing from your lineup does not make the entire lineup which still includes your 4 best players a "B-Team"

Yes i'll concede but the system we're playing in counts for even more than 2 players imo

Reason I would call Frances starting line up bteam (really b+ or a- though tbh) is that the structure and style of play don't optimize their talent.

Make no mistake though the b team would be favorites vs the vast majority of teams at the WC so don't try to use that to hand wave what the us did in the first half.

I actually agree with LFC here. Having like two players rotated doesn't make it a B team, that is normal. Typical French choke artists bringing on the excuses.

yea, French national team coaches seem to do this a lot. France's talent vs their results over the years has always been left wanting.
