World Soccer XXXI: Golden Generation?

I'm watching the Spanish Peacock feed and they just interviewed the one bit player from the current season of SNL. Marcello?
 
When Brazil has possession on the US half of the pitch, the US is very passive on attacking the player with the ball. I'm not sure that's a great strategy against such a talented side.

It is a "park the bus" sort of defense. They just don't want to press and allow Brazil to connect a couple passes and then make the final pass to a player standing all alone with a tap-in from the 6-yard line.

I surely get that, but it feels like delaying a disaster waiting to happen.

Also Turner has been terrible on goal kicks. It's as if after the one that led to the BRA goal has made him push the ball nearly out of bounds to the right side every time.

Yeah, the US seems to have a very low line of confrontation.
 
Another terrible Turner ball leads to a yellow and a free kick. I don't understand basically playing an at best 50/50 ball.

It's soccer, it does work.

Turner has not been good at much of anything for a while. Consequence of not playing much. Sad part is there's not any better options.

Ok, that was not yellow. Richards did get the ball. But that should not have been sent down for review.
 
Men in Blazers is awesome!

"Welcome to CONCACAF Brazil. You are in our world now!"

Commenting on the tackle that prompted the VAR check for a red card that ended with a call reversal that gave the US a free kick.
