Looks like the USA is going to start strong.
Man, these two teams are just on wholly different levels.
Balogun on a hat trick.
funny story. There have been 54 World Cup hat tricks. But the first was by the man, the myth, the legend…..Bert Patenaude. An American. In 1930.
Against Paraguay.
and scene.
fade to American flag. Screeching bald eagle.
I don't remember ever watching a USA team with this much skill.
Also, it's nice to see that 2005-era Russell Crowe found a second career as a soccer coach.
@noodle best I’ve ever seen from us. Combo of technical and athleticism
@goat Paraguay is not a bad team.

@noodle this dude is another example of how far we’ve come @larsiu Guy grew up playing for the Texans. Obviously mega club. Would have probably gone on and played at SMU. Then come out at 23. He went to Bayern 2 young. Then hoffenheim and now crystal palace. That path for a kid from bama was unheard of

I often say you can measure a country’s pedigree by their CBs
USA isn’t there yet (the other is a 38 y/o MLS player - caveat, I love Tim Ream) but we’re improving.
@larsiu Stl Scott Gallagher boy. I worry he is going to be a liability.
