Disappointing to be sure. Would've taken a draw going in, but that felt like a loss after the first half. 

US needed the three points. You have to assume they're getting no points from the England matchup.

That was some bad game management from Berhalter, I'd be pissed if I was a USA fan

We're used to it.

Should have kept Jürgen Klinsmann. The players showed passion on the field.

USA were the better side in the 1st half, Wales played better in the 2nd. Bale did nothing. Moore was Wales best player

Did not watch the same match as I did.

This was a different type of American team that delivered that very familiar result. The start of the game showed what this group of U.S. players can be, should be and likely will be.

They were bold. They were aggressive. There were stretches of domination. This was a fast, young, exciting and attacking team. This was 24-year-old Christian Pulisic showing every bit the superstardom that has long been promised of him, only now with the country watching.

This was the kind of soccer team that speaks to American sensibilities — confident and charismatic. It is a group that the country could rally around regardless of their technical knowledge.

I don't want to start the match thread, but I'll be in bed asleep during the game against England, so thought I'd just post in here. Fully expecting us to get thrashed. 4-1 sounds about right. Could definitely see us sneaking one against their defense, but also wouldn't be surprised to see a scoreline similar to Spain-Costa Rica.

You're not that bad, surely?

I hope you are right and we will with ease. But i think it will be very tough

Our defense definitely is. We have a decent enough attack when everybody's on point, but I don't see it happening. Would love to wake up and have been proven wrong, but the Wales game was our chance.
