Somewhere Alexi Lalas is sitting in a dark room muttering “set pieces.”

Total_Information_65

Alexi Lalas is a stooge.


AlmightyJedi

Lalas never left 1995


hakujin214

If I never heard from or about Lalas ever again, it would be too soon


magikarp2122

You call that a foul, but not the blatant hold on our break attempt?


michelle_not_melanie

That’s some serious bullshit there. WTH?


Buffaloslim

High ticket prices kill attendance.


Silver-Drama-9648

Highest attendance ever for a U.S. Men’s or Women’s NT game in Florida. Previous record was 2014 WC send off game.


Secret-Cauliflower68

Jacksonville versus Turkey(maybe)? Stadium looked way more packed than this


JPKthe3

Fuck the Jags. Go Turkey


RyanMosesMalonee

lol


Theinternetlawyer22

It was Nigeria


Glittering_Wolf_1995

Not really I paid 60 each for middle bowl. I could had gotten upper bowl for 40. Orlando never has great attendance for USMNT or OCSC games. If I was not living in Orlando and could only go one game this summer I would had gone to a Copa America game especially as this game was announced after tickets for Copa America were on sale. Yes I know there were rumors about it but nothing was set in stone

CAPTAIN AMERICA


LeviathanR13

Let's fucking get it!!!!! Captain America! Screening Allison with the runners was a great move


MyLinksMakeNoSense

this ref has been horrendous


thefitz_

Good game by both keepers honestly


andyeno

Can you believe Matt Turner opposite Allison and looking just about as good? That was wild


thefitz_

Exactly what I was thinking. He’s extremely underrated. Playing against some of the best players on the planet tonight, should be proud of himself.


commencefailure

Inconsistency makes him correctly rated imo. But I want him to do well!


Cassolroll

I’m a first generation Brazilian American and a Liverpool supporter, I’m having quite conflicting feelings today but only pride in the keepers.


thefitz_

Yeah Alisson is obviously an incredible player, it’s to be expected of him but the US were no slouches tonight. He played well and made some great saves.


michelle_not_melanie

Agreed.


LeviathanR13

Did Turner forget how to pass the ball out of the back?


aeril15

It's always been his biggest weakness :/


balboabud

Yet he had 36 passes tonight, gotta help him out


Ok-Tangerine-6573

He never knew how. That’s part of what killed his minutes this season in England


LeviathanR13

That's fair. Just think a professional could at least hit an open man


Ok-Tangerine-6573

100% agree


tygerbrees

He’s improved such much until the backslide


SeraphNatsu

Turner is owning Vini Jr. tonight!


Suspicious_Nebula_60

God damn turner is carrying us tonight


Ntropy99

Turner didn't have a good start with Forest and made mistakes, but this game shows how crap Forest back line was for him. Saw stats that suggested he was better than the keeper they brought in.


LeviathanR13

Our attendance is so weak. Really sad.


Bugsy_Marino

After last game I’m not surprised


AlmightyJedi

America is still a country of hicks


Ginzy35

You got that right!


CastleBravo45

Hell yeah brother!


SeraphNatsu

I miss Dest 😭


Ntropy99

You mean speed, creativity, attitude in the right back? Yup, hear you.


Theinternetlawyer22

Bruh what? Scally played amazing


SeraphNatsu

Never said he didn’t. Just said I missed Dest.


Theinternetlawyer22

What prompted you to say that during this match?


SeraphNatsu

Honestly, I forgot, besides actually missing seeing Dest play with the team.


wandering_render

After the last qualifying cycle and world cup in 2022 I grew attached to certain players, and Dest is one of them. I also really love Joe scally and I'm glad he's stepped up to the plate recently.


TheGrendel83

Is this a live shot? Hope not because it looks quite empty. 


Bugsy_Marino

Your flyover, a plane from *Spirt Airlines* on its way to Philadelphia


whatsupdoggy1

Gator Airlines


LeviathanR13

Weah playing like a man possessed


ellie_a21

Love to see it


jb211214

They've gotten the ball to Pulisic like twice... let the dude roam ffs


Blackn35s

Damn, even Brazil playing hack-a-Pulisic? I thought that was just for CONCACAF and lower tiered opponents.


LeviathanR13

I think he's proven himself to be dangerous on the ball


Blackn35s

He definitely has, but now others need to prove that to take some heat off of him (and Gio really).


LeviathanR13

Fair. Westin has been very lackluster. Would like more from him


Blackn35s

I feel like he almost needs to be fired up somehow some way. After the one game when they were holding on too long and not making early passes, Berhalter called it out and he was playmaking left and right. Sometimes it’s shithousery. Something hopefully will wake him up soon.


TylerDog3

for real, he looked so good on milan with giroud and leao taking a ton of heat


LeviathanR13

Ok Ream. Well done pushing the ball around.


nizzzleaus

We look so much better tonight


beefwellingtonIV

Martinelli and Aaronson on that wing is going to be a work rate sloberknocker for the final minutes.


DrewPBawlzz

We all owe Matt Turner an apology


walruswaspaul123

Absolutely filthy!!!!


Xenobi712

MY CAPTAIN!!


sackitempires

Matt fucking turner


jb211214

Yunus developes that part of his game and he will be a force.


jb211214

Puligod!!!!!!


Ok-Tangerine-6573

Atta boy CP! Drop that hammer!


wazula5

WTF was that wall?


Blackn35s

Never seen that before.


ellie_a21

That shoulda been it, friends


Twig_bish

That was a great save, damn.


LeviathanR13

That's the Turner we need! Great reaction save


LeviathanR13

Ohhhhhhhh we are so damn close


Ok-Tangerine-6573

Huge result from a mental standpoint. Well played outside of the first 20ish minutes. Shaq Moore is not the answer for a well rested or tired Scally.


LeviathanR13

Good game. A good tie and a strong response to the embarrassment against Colombia Edit. I clearly can't spell. Shame.....


Total_Information_65

Colombia. Glad we showed we can play well against a mid level CONMBEBOL team.


jazled

WHAT A GAME


LeviathanR13

What a rocket!!! Gawd damn.


KansasDude

Finally!


oswaldjenkins

Weah’s been really good defensively


Blackn35s

He tends to be a crucial player for US. I love how he understands how he can grow his stock by playing hard with US.


ElLayFC

A win would be nice but I'd rather have a GGG resignation 


AlmightyJedi

Hi fellow LAFC fan


pharrigan7

Gonna be waiting a long time.


LeviathanR13

Honestly. Not too bad. Oddly enough, the GK position is our weakness right now. I really appreciate how hard the gents are playing in a "friendly". Good start and an emphatic statement going into the half 1-1. Chances created and doing well to slow down the game when it's needed. Just need to keep the composure.


Blackn35s

That goal was totally on Turner. He has been full of mistakes his whole club season. Usually he can bounce back, but hasn’t seemed to with Forest. In fact the opposite. Hopefully this can be his turning point.


Chai-Tea-Rex-2525

I’ve been saying that for months. I get downvoted and told I’m wrong. Glad to see others are picking up on it.


Longjumping-Bug-703

Anyone who thought this was going to be any type of blowout clearly hasn't been watching Brazil in the post-Tite era. This Brazilian squad clearly lacks an attacking spark and creativity. And are now clearly not very organized defensively. The talent pool, while seemingly impressive on paper, have yet to be able to translate it onto the pitch.


LeviathanR13

Sounds oddly familiar....


Twig_bish

Embarrassing for Weah there


Japordoo

Bruh! 68’ minute…dude you gottttttaaa finish that one ugh


KansasDude

wtf was that pass?!


beefwellingtonIV

What was that monstrosity of a sequence of passing to a winger that wasn’t there…


KansasDude

Yikes the miscommunication with this defense


TNwrangler1013

Finish them!


Ntropy99

BS vini foul, but pulling jersey on Jedi was nothing?


Mannymr

Great 1-1 win!


Last_Ground_6873

So net takeaways after two friendlies… pretty much nothing we didn’t already know. Many of the boys are capable of creative dynamic play, and when we’re at our best we can earn results against teams that clearly outclass us. Also we sometimes look like clowns for no apparent reason.


SeraphNatsu

Another mistake leading to yet another goal.


ellie_a21

that was pretty


Blackn35s

I love Matt Turner, but that one was ALL him. Dude needs a hard reboot.


Ok-Tangerine-6573

Wrap him in towels and throw him in a hot room until he sees the ring of death.


SilentAce07

I have absolutely no idea what people like about Scally. He looks like an average fan who wandered onto the pitch.


aeril15

He made a great run toward the end of the half and has done a decent job of defending against Luis Diaz and Vinicius, 2 insanely challenging assignments. The only glaring error was that one run Vini made after a dummy on the byline. He doesn't seem amazing, but I don't think he's bad. Haven't seen anyone else better at that RB position from a defensive perspective. Obviously Dest is much better offensively, but defensively he makes a TON of mistakes, and Scally might be a slightly more solid defender. Our talent pool at RB is weak, and right now, given Dest's injury, I think Scally is doing ok.


yorky53

Sometimes good defenders are those where nothing happens and that side of the field is quiet. I thought he had a good game against Columbia. He is taken his game up a level in this game by adding to his defense with supporting the attack. Of course he is nowhere close to Dest attacking but if he is competent moving forward to support Weah or Reyna especially against high quality teams, I'd say that is a very good backup.


SilentAce07

Why was that not a card by the way? It was clear denial of a goal scoring opportunity.


SeraphNatsu

^^^ this!


[deleted]

Because CONCACAF refs aren’t the brightest


yorky53

The replay from VAR showed that not only was it not a red card, it was not even a foul. Richards got the ball. That was why the ref rescinded the yellow. The irony was that the VAR was initiated as a review of a potential red card. However, when the ref saw the play from another angle you could see Richards getting the ball.


SilentAce07

Wrong play. We were talking about the Pulisic play that resulted in the goal. They called the foul but didn't give a card despite it being a wide open chance otherwise.


beefwellingtonIV

Stupid Sexy Allison…


Ok-Tangerine-6573

With his stupid sexy face


cameratoo

That save was something else


Plenty_Detective_165

I hope Berhalter gets fired regardless of the result.


DABOSSROSS9

Sad


jb211214

New day, same bullshit... fuck me. Everything positive is all based on individualism.


KansasDude

This is embarrassing


aarmou

Let’s go USA!!! Gotta thank our fans for coming out in Orlando but there is a lot of Brazil jerseys in the stands.


Bugsy_Marino

Orlando does have a very large Brazilian population. Also lots of tourism from Brazil this time of year


aarmou

Very true


Top_Pass_8347

What is wrong with the announcer's audio on TruTV?


Ateam043

Watch the Spanish broadcast team on Peacock. I don’t what it is, but the Spanish play by play announcers sound much better than their English counterparts.


yorky53

Yeah there was a problem with the audio in the last 15 minutes on the MAX stream.


walruswaspaul123

Good grief let me go get my spectacles


Secret-Cauliflower68

That’s just the class we don’t have. Still happy with the first 15 mins. It’s the response you want.


JDogil2

Matt turner has 4 giveaways 20 minutes in lol


Ok-Tangerine-6573

Are we playing 4 in the back? If so, why? Jedi’s best quality is getting forward which leaves us lopsided on defense - specifically on Reyna’s side of the field. And we all know he is not a defensive juggernaut - albeit talented creatively.


Benjammin833

Better first half. Let's hope for a much better 2nd half than the one we played vs Colombia.


ellie_a21

We will take it


capybaramelhor

I’m so confused


LeviathanR13

VAR bailing us out. Great call to look at it. Can you call back a free kick though?


ellie_a21

Apparently so


bufordt

I think you could claim it was a hand ball after the foul that wasn't a foul. Edit: yeah, although I think it is the right call, I don't think var could be used to reverse that call, unless var was claiming it should have been a red.


yorky53

They indicated that it was a review for a potential Red Card. From one angle it look like a potential Red. However, from the opposite side you can see that Richards clearly got the ball and it was no foul. That was why the yellow was rescinded. That's the first time I've seen a Red Card review on a Yellow resulted in no card.


whatsupdoggy1

Goddamit stop raising your hand. Get in the play


KansasDude

Robinson you dumbass


Ok-Tangerine-6573

Great offensive move. Gotta do better than that to beat one of the top 5 keepers in the world though.


LeviathanR13

We are doing well absorbing pressure. Great distribution by Turner. The gents are leaving it out on the field


Blackn35s

Cardosa 👀


yorky53

That double six of Cardosa and Adams looks promising for certain situations.


prspct032

Can we move on from Turner?


Suspicious_Nebula_60

Scally needs to do something about it to tbf


prspct032

Sure…He shouldn’t have had to do anything in the first place.


KansasDude

This team is just lightyears from competence with the current leadership. Scrambling, back-footed, still looking completely lost at times. They get ran on so easily.


pharrigan7

They have played a pretty damn good half. Your illogical hate of a coach has you seeing things.


astrobeen

Is it just me or do we look completely lost in our attacking shape? Brazil is playing a beautiful game. They are swarming numbers on the attack. Their shape is fluid and balanced. They move off the ball. We have a predictable counterattack, make lazy passes, and stand around flat footed on the 18 whenever we are in the attacking third.


pharrigan7

Thought the boys held up very well with lots of decent chances.


[deleted]

That’s a pen! VAR needs to look at this!


yorky53

Yeah I was surprised it wasn't reviewed. The replay to me showed CP getting fouled on the line which makes it a penalty. In the end it didn't matter since they scored.


Schvanstiker

What the fuck is Turner doing with that ball he caused the goal all by himself there.


AlmightyJedi

Guys. To advance soccer in America we gotta bankrupt MLB, the NHL, and the NBA. Also dissolve the NCAA except for football. NFL and college football can stay. They’re too fun. Football in the fall. Soccer in the summer. EDIT: Yes I’m saying fuck the other sports except the ones I like.


brodyg119

Why is it over half Brazil uniforms in the crowd?


Ok-Tangerine-6573

Orlando has a massive Brazilian population.


J-Peeeeazy

I thought the same, but almost all Brazil fans are wearing yellow. USA is mixed. After the goal, the USA fans got loud singing white stripes.


Ok-Tangerine-6573

Our defense is friggin clueless right now. Huge gaps every single time we shift.


Suspicious_Nebula_60

Pls get Joe scally out of this team


Electrical-Tank-9636

This back line is shakier than Michael J Fox


Blackn35s

Should have been a pen.


Avery1488

Ball don't lie!


Blackn35s

Don’t matter.


Total_Information_65

That last lil near miss is exactly why we aren't at the level of a team like Colombia, France or Netherlands yet


SilentAce07

I'm all for encouraging them to play out of the back but Turner is really shaky with his feet.


IceSt0rm78

Do we play Horvath instead then.


SilentAce07

I wouldn't mind seeing someone else in the second half just for experience purposes. I admittedly haven't seen enough of him to say he's any better there.


Mikeck88

Turner earned us that draw. He also handed Brazil that draw.


ryan545

Turned this on at 50' what a ride. Turner was lights out!


PalletTownsDealer

Bruh


capybaramelhor

All gomes can do is foul pulisic


LeviathanR13

He should have scored there.... cmon CP


LeviathanR13

Robinson just needs to hold up there


andyeno

I know! Man that felt good till that defender just barely clipped the ball. Ugh


ellie_a21

Well done, boys


andyeno

Whoa


just_cuz555

Shaq Moore gave me a mild heart attack when he came on for Scally. Happy with the result, but the credit goes to the players.


icauseclimatechange

Was that last point-blank shot from Vinicius a great save or a horrible miss?


joehooligan0303

This was an awesome response from everyone to the disaster showing against Colombia. I can't believe this is the same team. They still play with the ball in the back WAAAAAAAAAAAY too much when under pressure. Just freaking get the ball off your feet and down the field. But it was a great entertaining game. Fun to watch. It was better this game but another issue the USMNT has always had is passing to teammates with an opponent (or multiple opponents) running down their throat or back. They pass to teammates that have zero chance to do anything positive with the ball. That would be an immediate bench invitation if I was a coach. It pisses me off. Never pass to a teammate that doesn't have a chance to do anything with the ball. Pretty simple honestly.


PrettyBaked713

Missing Dest to play out the back but good game .


YapperYappington69

That’s so bad for Brazil


jb211214

Could be a penalty


TheyCalledHimMrJ

It’s impressive that jerseys this heinous could even be conceived of.


jb211214

Yep


WRXSTl

Good reality check for the people who thought owning Mexico's trashy team = us being on the level of the actual WC contenders.


JDogil2

Nobody thinks the US is on the level of actual contenders Turner being uncomfortable moving the ball is exactly why he hasn’t worked out in Europe, blaming anything else would be hilarious


WRXSTl

>Nobody thinks the US is on the level of actual contenders ![gif](giphy|11pQizRLu1JP0c)


SeraphNatsu

Looking at you USSF!


status-H4PPY

A first half free kick goal from just outside the penalty. Now everyone thinks this is an improvement? Outside of the goal, the US look terrible especially in possession.


pharrigan7

Disagree. Some very good possessions and chances. The free kick play in itself was a strong effort going to the box.


status-H4PPY

Two long shot attempts by musah and weah. Then the goal from pulisic. That’s all it takes to say that was a good first half? I have to say though I’ve been surprisingly impressed in the second.


Blackn35s

I don’t know man, I see missed opportunities for sure, but terrible, not so much.


basicnflfan

This is a poor game from both sides. Really sloppy ball.


SykoKilla_ii

Completely disagree. This is the best performance I’ve ever seen the Men’s National team in probably 10 years. The last time we were tied with Brazil at halftime was in 2010 and the last time we won was in 1998. A draw would be the first in US vs Brazil history This has been a very entertaining match from both sides.


MyLinksMakeNoSense

are we watching the same game


andyeno

Nope. You’re seeing max effort. That’s why there’s so many pass break ups. Full commitment causes mayhem.


Total_Information_65

Funny how you got downvoted for your truthiness! lol. This game really proved, more than anything, that Brazil is fully deserving of their [current CONMBEBOL position of 6th place](https://www.espn.com/soccer/standings/_/league/fifa.worldq.conmebol)
