Spring sports, 2019

USWNT win it!
Brazil 3-1 over el Peru for the Copa America
USMNT 0-1 México.

Yanks played a pretty good game, here, but the everlasting problem of not having a clinical finisher reared its ugly head again. Josmer missed a basic sitter to the near post, then two others as well during the match. First half took it to the Mexicans, really gave them all they wanted.

Jordan Morris did not have a bad game, but was wholly invisible over there on the right. Sad to say, I did not mind him coming off. Jozy is hurt, and gave what he had, including a knee in the back, but again, Berhalter loves him some Zardes, but he can't score, either.

Weston McKennie wore the armband, I do not like Berhalter's revolving armband technique, most knew that Bradley is still the experience and the leader out there. He won a tournament award at the end, as did Pulisic.

Pulisic was clearly frustrated by the lack of service, or the lack of someone to latch onto his runs and crosses; typical U.S. I hope Berhatler improves.

Tim Ream had a great tournament, hope that translates to a good season with Fulham.

Going forward into qualifying, we need to see more of Weah. Berhalter is MLS-centric, though. And after 23 years of MLS, it has not, yet, improved the national program as it should have, but 23 years is short in this sport.

We are not that far from the beginning of 2022 qualifying.
