While I agree, KU is ranked 10th right now and the USA is ranked 11th.
I'd put them safely as a top 25 team in the world which is closer to KU than ksu.

And no, if you have a home game, Bill Self isn't going to go, "well, we don't need to play at AFH, we're good enough where we can play anywhere."

Tonight’s lineup is a B-
  • Morris and Acosta both starting. Meh to Ugh
  • Zimmerman/M. Robinson pairing could be interesting.
  • de la Torre with a big opportunity.

de la Torre has been needing an opportunity like this. Talented kid.

USA needs to get a 2nd quickly. This ref is already struggling to control the match. Could be a chippy 2nd half.

On replay Weah’s touch wasn’t terrible, Pepi’s touch still underwhelming.

Another great ball by Acosta, think he might be playing a little pissed after all the early fouls

Acosta with really good services on set pieces.

That’s the best 45 min I’ve seen from Acosta for the US.

Doing what they needed to do tonight. Encouraging performance so far.

Acosta most active/involved guy out there.

You can see how much a struggle it is to move the ball. I hated playing in this weather.

First 5-10 minutes of 2nd half could be problematic with this weather.

Dunno if you even put Pulisic in.
Up 2-0 in these conditions?
Nah.

I agree, not sure there is any benefit to putting Pulisic in this match.
