It is important to not overreact to a draw against El Salvadoran. The United States kicked off their World Cup qualification with a victory. It mattered a lot to the US. The Yankees didn't score in that game.
Fast forward to Tuesday night's final game of the USMNT's late-spring camp and not much needs to be said. The American goalkeeper should have made a better attempt to save the goal. Outside of the goal, he was as busy as an accountant.
It gave a small amount of clarity for how to proceed in the country. It is looking at the game from a half-glass full perspective. The US should not have played Tuesday night's game in the Nations League. Did you notice the field that turned the American jerseys to pigsties? It looked like Christian and his friends were rolling on the ground.
It was a show that was not ordinary. At its most depressing and endearing? I will give an explanation. The United States will be hurt by every controversial decision because there is no VAR. Would the USA have been awarded a penalty late in the game if the El Salvadoran defender had not made a mistake? It wasn't seen live or reviewed. Jordan Morris scored the equalizing goal just before the end of the game.
Morris scored 10 versus 10, which was one less than the start of the game. The tackle that got him sent off was a yellow card. Any slide tackle that leads to a red card is somehow referred to. Later, we will get back to Arriola.
El Salvadoran got its money's worth with a red card when one of their defenders tackled Yunus Musah to deny him a chance at a goal. Musah needs to get credit for being one of the best American players currently. In this four-game window, his performance solidified that he needs to start in the Middle East. Weston McKennie is the only option for the US in the middle of the field.
The best thing about playing El Salvador less than six months from the start of a World Cup, with two matches left and before the official roster gets announced, is how Central American venues produce the most random challenges. The World Cup will be played on fields. The competition will be clean as well.
The US will get a result from every game in this window, including a win against World Cup bound Morocco. It will be interesting to see who the Americans play in the last pre- World Cup window. Europe would be a good place to look for those opponents. Ukranian is the perfect opponent for me. The USA will face Wales in the World Cup, thanks to an own goal. I would schedule an opponent that was similar to England in one of the other matches.
The shift may have given Arriola's seat to Morris, a victory for the USA. He is better in many ways when he is healthy. The case colleague Sam Fels and I made for the USMNT selections from late March, but it won't happen. He wasn't strong enough against Uruguay. Sean Johnson may be the biggest stock-riser of them all.
The biggest question for Berhalter is what to do with the strikers He scored four goals against Grenada. It is not good in Grenada. I'm sure it's a lovely country, but it's not in the top 200. The standard at the World Cup won't be quite as high. Over the course of a year, Berhalter hasn't figured it out. Maybe Jordan Morris is at his best.
