Well, we don’t have the same relationship you lot do with them. I’m more or less on board with underdogs henceforth, apart from Declan and Nathan. Only way it’ll stay interesting

Bernhalter sacked ? he's done nothing of note. lost to Canada in the CONCACAF qualifications standings, score 2 goals in 4 games, win 1 against Iran, draw with Wales and if he'd have gone balls to the wall again could have won that, so win 1 draw 2 lose 1. the England draw was imvho more to do with Southgate than Bernhalter.

didn't see the game today but did Reyna get ANY minutes ?

don't think he has much of a clue imvho.

Reyna played most of the 2nd half.

Like he hadn't played in a while. He was ok. He didn't particularly change things. Believe it or not, I think Yedlin might have been the most effective substitution.

I'm not a big fan of Berhalter but let's not forget that the US consists of: a solid and potentially very good midfield three (one of whom had been injured), one overhyped LWF and one developing RWF, two fullbacks who are decent going forward but not great in defence, and that's it.
