USA vs. Portugal


Recommended Posts

4-5-1? Look, I know CR7 is a force of nature but he's less than 100%. If you play not to lose, there's a chance you'll lose. Come on, son.

The 4-5-1 has been the bread and butter of the U.S.

With a weak back line a 4-5-1 is the way to play.

Portugal still has the best player in the world and five starters that played in the Champions League and personally, I think you're severely underrating Portugal. Sure they have some injuries but I'd expect them to come out fighting for their lives rather than looking like a defeated team.

The goal is to hold off the initial attack for the 20 minutes.

This! I cant remember the last time we didnt run a 4-5-1, we ran it last game, so does that mean we run for a draw each match? We need defense for this game

Ugh... so far we're not playing like we can and looked too scared of CR7.

 

 

 

This was the worst thing we could do this game, go down a goal early to a silly mistake. Hopefully, Klinnsman has put it in their backbone to bounce back from it. WE need a score before halftime to stay in this to win.

    • Yeah, if you tune in for any of the remainder of the season you will get what you're asking for. Nobody but yourself to blame. This is a sports franchise of losers, for losers.
    • Here is my take, go ahead and roast me, I'm ok with it, I know where I am. I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet. I will wait until week 4 or 5 before I entertain that option. This game I blame on the coaching staff. Their failure to give reps to the first team during the preseason was reflected in this game. Lets just call this what it is... our preseason warm up game. You could see that the whole team was flat in the first half. Every aspect of the game, the basic fundamentals. Mental errors, missed tackles, timing on routes, they were not ready for this game. Jacksonville is not a great team but you could clearly see their energy level surpassed ours. I do have to give credit to our defense. They did hang in there and kept competing through 4 quarters (minus the 71 yard run). The way our offense played it's a wonder Jacksonville didn't put 40 on us. Positives I saw, (I know, I know), but come on, we still have 16 games. TMAC IS that guy!! Chuba looked good, and overall, our O-line looked good. As bad as Bryce looked at times I do feel like we're a step or two away from connecting with our WR corps. There were plays to be made that were JUST off by a step or two (again, I know). We have talent at WR, we have talent on offense. To me, this game just looked like a team that was not mentally prepared for NFL week one, and less, "oh my god, we're the same old Panthers". Now I get it... a lot of this hinges on Bryce Young and his confidence. If he can erase this and focus on building continuity with these receivers I honestly think we're not going to suck as bad as we did today. XL... IDK, the jury with him is still out, but there is no doubt the kid has mega potential. Our defense, honestly, considering we have a bunch of new guys on that side, they held their own considering the offense could never change the momentum of the game. I am as disappointed as everyone else at another week one poor performance. But I also realize we are STILL rebuilding. Lets just take it week by week right now and see if we have ANY talent that rises to the surface. Because I really do not know what we have talent wise. And that is not just limited to the QB. So, we will see, but I'm not going to call it just yet... just my take. Now fire away! lol
    • Well for one, what other realistic choice is there? Barring a season ending injury, Bryce is the guy for this year. Next year all options are open, but there aren't any other real world solutions for the 2025 season.
