COWABUNGA DUDES!
🥷🐢😬



As a Welsh living in the US this is the first game I've not rooted for USMNT in a long rear end time, but man I hope we both loving thump England somehow, in a 'sell our collective souls to the devil just to knock those pricks out' way to hit peak football. I'll accept a draw today and just hope it's a genuinely fun game to watch.

I saw a preview of McKinney's hair all dyed and thought "that rascal evaded the ban and did a rainbow hair"....and now I wonder why they don't do that.

i strongly disagree with not starting Reyna, he is easily our best player at breaking down defenses which wales is gonna be difficult to break down.

Other than that its fine, but leaving Reyna out is a mistake imo (I'd swap him for Weah and bring Weah off the bench today, then start Weah against England)

Him and Aaronson should be in there. I can't remember one good game from Robinson. Which means he'll either score or give up a pen.

US play is really sloppy in this game against Wales. The game against England is going to be ugly if it continues into that game.

We're not allowed to have all of our best players on the field at the same time, haven't you been paying attention for the past 3 years?

I hope Gregg gets fired

That being said, because the US auto qualifies in 2026, the new guy won't have that many games before the next world cup. Don't even know who you would hire
