[Music] hello and welcome back to everyone that's tuned in to the American Ultra talk Channel unfortunately the usmnt loses to Canada 21 in Kansas City today I'm bringing to you guys our match reaction unfortunately I'm riding solo this time around Bren was solo during some videos as well during the week and we're going to have a video together talking about the transfer window raing those transfers that happened or did not happen stay tuned for that but for today I have to give the match reaction on what was catastrophe not catastrophe because it's a friendly at the end of the day but a very very underwhelming and concerning result for the us and not only just the result but also the performance we often say that friendlies aren't just all about the results although they are important I think more than ever for us now since they're they're all we're going to have until the World Cup but we did lose and I think that we deserve to lose so just to give you guys a heads up on the structure of the video going to give you guys right here my initial thoughts we're going to go into player ratings as well I'm going to cite bradden's player ratings as well that he sent me and at the end uh my thoughts and takeaways from this game so initial thoughts are we deserve to lose uh very very bad match underwhelming uh no volume and Canada was just the more threatening side and Jesse Marsh gets to have the last laugh I believe he really wanted that win you could tell just by the way that he's been coming out and his criticism of the US players as well which I think some of it's deserved uh some people are hyping him up do I think that he would have been a better Coach than poch absolutely not would have he been better than Greg I think they're almost like for like I think he's more qualified definitely but the way that he likes to play I don't know if it suits our game but regardless he gets that Victory which I'm sure he will Savor he says that he's half Canadian these days and well I'm sure that all the Canadian fans enjoy that one it's very sour to for for any usmnt fan to have to have that banter until we play them again I'm sure we we going to we're bound to play them again they don't have any opponents as well until the World Cup but for now Jesse Marsh gets one over us and diving into the player ratings really these are very tough starting with with Patrick schy who it's crazy we lost to Canada 2-1 but I think that he was one of the Bride spots kept us in the game really uh it might be the new starter I like that he got the opportunity ahead of Turner we need to move on from Turner do I think the schy is the next guy I don't really think so but he has done more than Turner did at his time in the MLS which is the only thing that warranted him to be a starter for us in the first place he was always a bench at Arsenal bench that Forest he's going to get the the Triple Crown right now being a bench at Palace so we needed someone new I think that Gaga going forward will be the main guy just as a disclaimer some of you guys may know but League one uh for barnesley they don't really stop during the international breaks these are friendly I don't think that barnesley is going to necessarily be keen on him leaving I don't think that he'll be too keen on leaving and let possibly uh leaving his position up for grabs so I completely understand him not being included here so we had shy and he did his he did well kept his in the game made some good saves I'll give him a seven out of 10 seven and a half maybe he made some some really good saves and um did well so moving on right here to the Outfield players which is when the satin is starts scall very quiet I mean SC we know I think that he thrives if the opposition is more is flashier I know that he was going up against uh Davies and that side of Canada but I don't think that he did too much and uh I can't say he held his own I'll give him a a four out of 10 uh which is what brayen also agreed upon so I think four out of 10 didn't do anything very very quiet he's a fullback and ultimately we were vulnerable at times through that flank as well which is going to bring me to Chris Richards I think that he was I don't know how to say this but uh the best center back for sure because rain we got on to that later but I'll give him brayen gives him a three right here I think that I'll give him a four I think kind of like scell had some good moments but overall from a premier league starting center back a few too many gaps uh that he leaves there um hesitating a little bit to commit and uh yeah it needs to be more commanding he is the guy to lead that backline so needs to step up a little bit we all need to raise the standards a little bit and expectations for some of these guys not I know the media tries to play it down but we do need to have standards and expectations for them I'll give him a four moving on right here to team Marine not much to say Enjoy the retirements what Brayden put on his note right here for me it's about the same I don't I I could kind of understand why he's playing but then at the end of the day what does he really bring is he going to play in 26 I sure hope not very old very SL low and he's an MLs too so he beats that that ter that he's still playing at a high level he's in Charlotte and I don't I think we need to move on from him AAP ASAP and on the left side we had Christopher Lon who uh BR thought he gives him a 6.5 my rating for Lon would be more a five. five had some good moments um trying to take on players uh got his way out of trouble at times uh wasn't the perfect match got gave the ball away a couple of times but uh honestly I think he he still uh did himself Justice to be in contention for future call-ups and to contend for that backup left spot uh left back spot um bench obviously so yeah I think five and a half I don't really know how to rate Lund I would have to probably rewatch to have a concise rating right here for him moving on to the middle of the park as many of you guys know I've been very critical of joonie cardoo throughout the years and um he had a a good spell of betties last year got a lot of hype um for the usmnt during the summer let's recap that horrible showing against Colombia very bad against Panama as well as much as people won't look into that they will Overlook it because of that match was just completely insane and then now Johnny I think truly atrocious atrocious performance really so the lack of awareness the lack of urgency closing down players added nothing to the I'll give him a zero uh a 0.5 he put the shirt on the right way that's as much as I can say and uh it pains me to say because I I like to see him delivering some performances but now I can kind of see why he's being benched at betes if that's the level and intensity that he's bringing to the table um absolutely shocking uh he was supposed to be the six today horrible horrible and moving on to to his partner in crime which was uh Yunis Musa this exact pairing Johnny amusa is the pairing that started the capitulation uh not started but when they were both together on the pitch that's when capitulation against Columbia happened and we saw today against a much lower level opponent in Canada uh Musa didn't do anything to help either uh I don't really know I don't see anything that Musa does awfully wrong but I don't see anything that he does right really other than the age that he has going for him I mean that's nothing at the final third going to live off that crossbar hit against Brazil for a while had one great game against England more than two years ago Valencia looks better without him um does a few things here and there sometimes for Milan but very concerning for the US MN lately I have to say I have to say that so I'll give Musa three I agree with bradden right here moving on uh those are really low 0.5 and three but moving on to mik Tilman be honest I know that there were some moments that were almost promising Bren noted right here that he under poch he could be uh he could Thrive If he if he has the opportunity it seems like Jena got injured so he's going to have a free run to try to get that role but I'm I'm not too too convinced with that showing I expected a little bit more to to be frankly honest going up against Canada um I'll give tman a four I don't think I can give him more than that uh moving on to Brendan Aronson and I would just say Brendon Aron is one of the most overhated players in the poll I think that's for sure but then again plays like that today did he do anything uh awfully wrong not really but he doesn't didn't really create I would like to see something something else something more ran around the ten tenacity the work rate we can't really fault that he always brings that to the table and I think that being so um so willingly voluntary for the team running uh kind of overshadow some of the of the good side the good things in his game people just label him as a Workhorse but then today look at that game against the opposition I think that he needed to do more uh I'll give him about a four as well just like Tillman and perhaps contemplate a 3.5 but I'll give M four right here and uh moving on to balagan um balagan uh tried a few things almost had a really nice moment against bomito but uh I don't know I think that the lack of games is going to hurt him we played to his strengths I believe and uh that's something that Bren wanted to know as well but uh and he tried to make things happen but ultimately you want more from your nine in the game like that and he wasn't clinical he did have some chances some half chances and uh I just wish I could have seen more volume in honestly the club situation that Monaco it really hurts his development in my opinion it's not going to work out there I'll say it now calling it today I don't think that going to work out for one reason or another uh the coach doesn't really rate him he has the history the fans still comment about that uh game that he missed depends against the fourth division club for a very embarrassing defeat in the C to France so I don't know Bagan I'll give him a four but uh he needs uh and I'm not even going to fault him too much because there were it's not like there was crazy service in the match but yeah moving on right here to pisk uh Chris and pisk are Captain America the best player in the American pool and unfortunately I'll give him a two Raiden gives him a three right here I I expect so much more and again to be willing to to run and and grab the game by the Scruff of the neck like the the British guys like to say that needs to step up come on he often is the guy that brings that spark and gets us out of trouble but today very bad match from him and moving on now to the subs very deflated making this video but to give a credit right here maybe a bright spark I talked about schy maybe being one but I think Aiden Morris U props to him props to the guy I've been critical of him in the past a few times but hey you can't fault the the heart that this guy has and he's having a good time at borrow maybe could find himself in the Premier League and did himself Justice today coming on I think that he looked he looked good and I'm not gonna say looked like he belonged I mean This Is Us M against Canada but he he earns a call up Bren says that if he does well in a start against New Zealand he puts him back himself back in contention uh there still a young player and I think that he showed a lot of grit and didn't really cost us in any way uh wi in possession so especially where he's at he may have the the capacity to be a usmnt um this rotational player I don't know I think that Morris uh is doing himself Justice these days and I'm happy with him even talking about him cheers me up a little bit right here and I've been very critical of the guy in the past so that props to him for the match today I'll give him uh Bren gives him a 7.5 I'll give him an eight really for the time that he had on the pitch don't think he did too much wrong really moving on to Luca deat Tor who I'm happy that we provided him a safety net uh because he got transfer listed as Sela the Vago not having a good time there but he did really well not only the goal uh was silky on the ball a very good technical player I wish he could find a club maybe going back to De Dey could do him BR gave him a seven I'll give him a 7.5 uh not just because of the goal uh because the goal was it came by chance really but I think that he he did well showed uh some small techers here and there and was good in possession we definitely look better with these two when they came on and moving on to Wright I'll give him a four uh Bren gives him a 4.5 which I think is fair I can understand that but I I think that at times he could have been a little bit more incisive uh in the final third and moving on now to so that's really not much to say for I didn't get that many minutes uh on the ball but give him a four didn't do too bad and moving on to Kate cow uh it wasn't there for long enough but I think that he looked horrible at the few times that he got caught into play I don't know what to say I mean I'll give him a a four because he he's a sub but he looked really bad uh got called into Camp last minute maybe that's the reason but I don't know it's rewarding his form in Mexico so I think that's good it shows that we're keeping a scope in everyone but don't really think that K has is at that this level right now but it going on right here to Pepe who hopefully should start getting more minutes now that the young got injured but I don't think that dares do too much for to talk about him I think I'll give him a standard four came on didn't do anything wrong or right but that's really it with the player ratings moving on now to the takeaways my main takeaway and the is well Bron wanted to put right here if he want to give a a rating to Mikey bar is negative one because he thought that the starting lineup and the subs uh were a good thing that he did but again for me that's just damage control you're I I said it before the game we put Johnny and mus out we're going to lose to Canada I said that and uh and some people were clowning me for it this is the result I don't really have that much faith in those two guys not as players for the usmnt their for they barely play at their clubs now really bad and yeah I'll give Mikey varz a zero really if he goes to San Diego come on that's going to be my team in MLS from San Diego but anyways uh moving on to the takeaways I have to talk about him I don't think that this uh this performance really uh does any favors for any of these players um when PCH comes in and he's not a miracal worker I think that there are some slight question marks uh onto how he's going to fix the squad there's not much time he has never coached at the international level he's never coached any of these guys if I'm not mistaken but it's just very concerning because this is what we're going to have and you're playing Canada which is a rival whether we like it or not some people like to downplay it and these are the type of games we're going to have to prepare for the World Cup and that's how we we play it's unbelievably unacceptable uh I think that the future is not looking bright with these performances hopefully PCH comes in and instills a No Nonsense mentality but and people say that oh these players they do they care I I get that but do they need someone new to motivate them you should the players should motivate themselves it's absolutely insane uh that we had this type of performance close it out and at least it can only go up from here because uh Copa Med summer I think that the Olympics brought some hope for a little while we ultimately crashed out in bad manner then we had the u20s really really bad all the games were horrible and then now back to the 18 team and they're keeping it up with the form that they left cop America a ridiculous performance a lot of these players are extremely overrated I would like us for some of these guys to justify anything other than hype or age or being dual Nationals um not trying to be extremely harsh right here but we need need to re-evaluate a lot of things hopefully PCH does that and yeah I'm just very deflated doing this but let me know what you guys think your player ratings your thoughts on the match your thoughts for the future and if I was too harsh on any of these players just again a disclaimer if you watch this long enough thank you so much please keep watching subscribing sharing it with your
