The only way they can win is with the ref on there side
Go Go USA 🇺🇲👏🏆
That was a lucky win. This team is honestly not convincing. The only decent players on this team are: Gio Reyna, McKennie, and the Dest. American football is still subpar. FIX YOUR YOUTH SYSTEM.
"Finals are to be won not played"
😅😅 The most Mourinho statement ever.
The only thing wrong with this team is Drag Beerfaulter
Super young team with a great, bright future ahead just gutted out a win against a better Mexico team. Say whatever you want about Berhalter, but I'll rock with these guys any day.
I watched the 2nd half and it was really good
I predict that the USA will be the first country outside of South America to win a Copa America one day
The stadiums have to start splitting the crowd in half. They do it at Wembley for finals games. We must do this here in the US for US vs Mexico.
Idgaf what you call me but that wasnt a penalty
after the game, when asked "what happened?", mexican players said; "the ball was too round"… :))
Hold on we not gonna talk about how much of a mess that ref was
I don’t even know this dudes name but ik he played for us, this dude sucked idk he is even commenting pulsic did something u never did “win”
Say what you will,but these kids gritted out two wins when things seemed like they weren't going their way
Hercules gomes was trash player I don’t even listen man talk about soccer lol
No, we (the fans) are beyond the "a win is a win" mentality. Mexico dominated us %75 of the game. The only way USMNT scored was on set pieces, if it weren't for that, we would be screwed because we rarely came close to Ochoa's net. Zach blocked 2 one on one's and a few line drives! It was the individual talent that saved the game, not the tactics and especially not the coach. Sadly this ugly pathetic victory will only extend Berhalter's position as head coach. I have absolutely no confidence on this man.
Yall not even talking about that penalty that shouldnt even happen if it wasnt a pen it wouldve went to extra time smh
Usa got lucky with that dive from pulisic Lmao guy pathetic
Aaronson instead of Acosta would be been a big improvement in the midfield.
I can accept it when a team defeats you well, but when they do it like that, I can’t. It’s not hating, it’s just a bitter feeling. For me, there’s was no way that was pk on Pulisic. That’s what changed the game.
2 gol being called back for Mexico changed the game
Played ugly!!!??? Man!!! Shut your mouth!!!!
Very true, the team won despite Greg's tactics not because of them. Although, his choice of substitutes was a good one.
PULISIC PAPI DE MEXICO. Proud of his son Diego Lianez who scored a goal for the first time.
America is arrogant
If Mexico was slightly better, I don't believe Berhalter's clown car would have survived the first 27 mins. A better team, just about any European team that come to mind for instance, would have fatally punished the sloppy, predictable, slow, disjointed play out of the back and slammed the door on us! I couldn't really blame the mids and forwards for most of the game cuz the service was panicky, atrocious. Why not just send it out occasionally, you've got a 50/50 chance of winning possession and using our athleticism to occasionally put them on the back foot instead of desperately poking it to some guy blanketed in speedy defenders. You've got to take advantage of your advantages. If a slower player like Ream can't occasionally handle more open play, adjust his cover or get him off the field. I know they need more time together for Berhalter's style, but come on. And Acosta? And anyone could have filled in for McKenzie's horror show! This week showed the real lack of our depth at critical positions. Still, beating Mexico is always sweet! Berhalter lives to coach another day.
Any game between Mexico and USA is ugly, give them their credit and move on. Either way criticism won't affect these players, hopefully we start stringing some wins together
I wouldn’t say it was ugly and didn’t play well, we created a ton of chances. The second half we were easily the better team
Today the USA won cause they were given a penalty😏
Mexico fans are classless animals
It was truly hard to watch. They played horribly and this goes for both teams. Tata martinez should know that Mexico doesnt have the talent to play a false 9 and the us players close their eyes while going forward or is time to finish a play. Headless chickens, specially dest and McKinney
Great win for the USMNT and hopefully we can build on this 🇺🇸
Should have lost?? Why? Mexico played good but couldn’t finish it. The only thing that was ugly was the Mexican Fans . Stop sucking up to Mexico
I like that. Finals are to be won not played.
Lmao salt!!!!!! You guys were so much more dirty
1st half for Mexico 2nd half usmnt don't know which were you Hercules
All Mexico have to do is defend better from corners and get a real #9.
PLEASE JOIN THE TACTICAL MANAGER TV COMMUNITY. BIGGEST USMNT CHANNEL ON YT 🇺🇸
No defense.
Mexico fans are delusional. You can try and intimidate the red white and blue but expect a fight you dirty drunks
Can they talk about how the US dominated the corners? 🤔🤔
Quit straddling the fence Herc, there's no maybe about this. The better team won.
Hater
ESPN went full Mourinho on this one.
Great match, win
But the weaknesses in the back are a real issue
Imagine if USA actually played well.
This guy is pissed that Mexico lost
“Maybe you should have lost”. What? Take your Mexican bias and fan hat off and give the US the respect they deserve. You wouldn’t of said the same thing to Mexico had they won that maybe they should have lost.
Us didn’t even play bad though ,
