Goalllllllllllll

[Ron Ajatrom]

this might be a 6-0 game. Paraguay has no midfield that can help them get control of the game lol.

Anyone who is new to soccer, we have not looked this good in the last two years

I know almost nothing about soccer, but even I can tell we are dominating. 🇺🇸 

[CJ Vogel]

This is probably the most dominant half of soccer I’ve ever seen from a USMNT squad

Maybe ever In my lifetime lol

[Roy Hinojosa]

This is the most physical I've seen team USA ever. It's usually the other way around 

[CJ Vogel]

What a fun half

Used to seeing the women do this, not the men. Wonderful to see

Pulisic off at halftime. Wow.

I don’t hate it.

But hope they play this half like it’s 0-0

[Dawson Yarbrough]

Love that anti flopping review! Apply that to Harden and SGA in the NBA now!

[Paul L]

Probably should have had a few more in the second half but it has been a solid 90 minutes.   
 

side note: Paraguay has cool jerseys

[Jedi Master Bevo]

Off topic, but another Director's Cup 🤘

[HonkEm]

Well called game by Ref

[davisxcole]

Gregg Berhalter should be put in jail for not playing Reyna last World Cup IYKYK

[Dawson Yarbrough]

USA! 🇺🇸 USA! 🇺🇸 USA! 🇺🇸 

[CJ Vogel]

My expectations couldn’t be higher. 

And that’s dangerous. They looked fantastic tonight. 

[CoachScott619]

OTF US Soccer post game show?

How does Alexi Lalas still have a job on the analysts deck? He’s been so bad for so many years on ESPN and FOX

Great, great game! Im going to enjoy it, but I am cautiously optimistic. Paraguay looked slow, unathletic and disorganized. Great 1st game for confidence, but will be playing better opponents.

[Jonas Peterson]

No team except Spain has scored more than 2 goals against Paraguay in the world cup in the last 40 years. Spain beat them 3-1 twice and they lost to England 3-0 in 1986.

Pulisic had someone kick his calf so him out at halftime was purely precautionary since it happened in practice recently, fortunately he’s fine. 

That Reyna outside of the boot goal, chef’s kiss

Alexi Lalas still being on the analyst desk is the clearest proof that networks don’t actually care about analysis -  they care about noise. He’s not there to break down tactics, he’s there to say something loud enough that people tweet about it. That’s literally his whole job description at this point. If you want actual insight, you’re watching the wrong broadcast. If you want a guy who mistakes volume for expertise, well… that’s why Lalas keeps getting renewed.

Who are the top three teams?
