Watched the game again. That red for MRob and that fiasco after the Aaronson eye poke that should have earned red have me pissed all over again.
But I also love how momentum shifted to Mexico for about 5 minutes after that (the way it always does after they get away with criminal behavior - it's why they do it), but these kids wrestled the momentum away quickly and blew the doors off those darners anyway. There are only a couple U.S. teams in the last 20 years who would have done that and they weren't this young.
I also love how the most talented players on this team all have unique roles. McKennie brings the toughness and swagger, Adams brings the maturity and steadiness, Pulisic brings the elite talent that's dangerous from everywhere, Aaronson bring the top work rate on the pitch, Musah brings the speed and strength on the ball with elite dribbling abilities, Weah brings elite speed, ARob brings elite speed, MRob clogs the middle in the back forcing the opposing attack wide, Dest and Yedlin and ARob bring elite speed and recovery abilities... All of these guys compliment each other so well. These attributes are all able to flourish and nobody has to take a back seat to anybody else bc another guy is better at his role.
This is a special group. And they're not done getting better as a group. Super stoked about this squad.
