Exactly. There are maybe 8 American 9s who should start over Zardes. At least Altidore play facing goal or back to it.

Wow. Altidore on the bench in favor of Zardes. I hope it's because Altidore is missing a leg.

Supercoug

Looks like a 3-2-2-3.

RSL

every time I watch Altidore play he doesn’t seem that great

USMCdad

He's not elite, but he's the best we have.

Supercoug

6/18/19 7:13pm

He's the best back to goal player we have. Proven internationally.

RSL

6/18/19 7:20pm

He's a pretty good holdup striker IMO. Plays smart and physical.

I agree.

RSL

6/18/19 7:47pm

Since we're all kumbaya and agreeing on stuff, can I get an amen on the fact that

mik3

And we love him because of it.

RSL

6/18/19 8:19pm

I have to think it’s Zardes because we’re playing Guyana. Protect Altidore so he can go when needed.

Tokolosh

Zardes is going to score twice, Berhalter will use it as proof, and we'll Zardes our way to a QF exit

RSL

6/18/19 7:23pm

Irrational rant over

RSL

6/18/19 7:23pm

That’s pretty much the only explanation. He’s never made it all the way through a tournament. Ever.

Supercoug

6/18/19 7:23pm

I'm not impressed with Altidore.

Mister P

6/18/19 7:14pm

I don't think anyone is, but he's several degrees better than Zardes.

Supercoug

6/18/19 7:16pm

Any backline w/ Ream leaves me wanting a different lineup.

SpiffCoug

6/18/19 7:19pm

Wow that’s a weak group. Hopefully it won’t matter.

Nathanael Greene

6/18/19 7:09pm

I really don't understand this Zardes start. I'm trying.

Supercoug

More than just 8

unctoothman

6/18/19 7:16pm

My guess is Berhalter is still experimenting with some stuff. It's Guyana after all.

mik3

6/18/19 7:20pm

Stop experimenting. Let your team gel.

RSL

6/18/19 7:22pm

Yeah he’s no JCO.

Supercoug

6/18/19 7:25pm

Juan Cambios Osorio!

mik3

6/18/19 7:42pm

Well I'm not saying it's a good idea...

mik3

6/18/19 7:43pm

For all his hype, can you believe this is Christian Pulisic’s first competitive start?

Supercoug

6/18/19 7:25pm

Are qualifiers not considered competitive? Never realized that

2018grad

6/18/19 7:26pm

He didn’t start the qualifiers. Came in off the bench.

Supercoug

6/18/19 7:27pm

Wow really? I could’ve sworn he started against T&T.

2018grad

6/18/19 7:31pm

You are correct. He started that game.

RSL

6/18/19 7:32pm

I stand corrected.

Supercoug

6/18/19 7:33pm

Looks like T&T was his first and only start until tonight.

Supercoug

6/18/19 7:38pm

STOP TALKING ABOUT THAT GAME PLEASE

Nathanael Greene

6/18/19 7:34pm

Looking at this reminds me that Nagbe really fell off the face of the earth

2018grad

6/18/19 7:36pm

Found the highlight. He started this qualifier too (Panama, Oct 2017)

2018grad

6/18/19 7:40pm

Yeah, I saw "T&T" as his first start and immediately thought it was that infamous game. It was not.

Supercoug

6/18/19 7:44pm

He started every hex game I can remember from 2017

Nathanael Greene

6/18/19 7:46pm

How hard is it to put the formation in the tweet?
