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.

There was #2, Weah and Pepi both with poor touches

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

2-0 USA!

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.
