RIP MALIA. That’s the message on the undershirt that
@headdturnerr
immediately showed after winning the PK’s. Mentions that he works with kids with cancer and, sadly, Malia passed away recently so he wanted to dedicate this game to her.

Do we really need to explain that by “Americans”, Pulisic meant “USMNT fans”? Come on now. And yeah, the atmosphere was terrible for a team playing at home going to the WC in 6 months. Lots of factors, everyone needs to do better (USSF, Media & fans). Enjoy the win.

Interesting nugget from my chat today with USMNT striker Ricardo Pepi. Asked for a difference between Hudson & Berhalter: “In the attacking third, Anthony has told us that we have more freedom. If you feel & have the capacity to improvise something, he’s going to let you do it”

Gold Cup counts so they won’t be penalized for the official games in November. That’s not the point. The issue here is while the players get these ridiculous suspensions, nothing happens about the chant and fan conduct.

Banning Dest from the USMNT is the most stupid thing I’ve read in a long time in here and that’s saying a lot. Weston didn’t get banned for what he did, which was way worse. Dest made a mistake, an extremely childish mistake & will serve suspension. Done. Get a grip people.

1. Gio acted wrong, hopefully he will learn from this // 2. Berhalter should have not talked about it in public even if it was supposedly "off the record". // 3. Don't understand why Gregg told his most talented player his role "would be very limited" BEFORE the WC.

Feel bad for Gregg Berhalter but even worse for his wife, Rosalind. Having to deal with all of this again now in the public eye feels disgusting. Soccer is just a game people and shame on you if you are cheering today because you want Berhalter out. This ain’t it.

Gonna be positive & predict: MLS will backpedal on its USOC decision. Why? 1) The massive backlash will continue to grow, as it should 2) Is the right thing to do.
