Official US Soccer / World Cup '26 Thread (USA vs. Mexico 3/24 in Dallas)

And pretty sure that's Raul Jimenez's 2nd yellow so he'll miss the US match.

Looks like they had 4-5 players on a yellow coming into last night but Jimenez wasn't one of them. By my count, only Araujo will miss the match vs. us.
 
We scored on a wondergoal and a defensive error leading to an own goal. We played well but the offense is still anemic.

The problem persists that we're getting into good areas to create chances, but not really creating a ton of good chances. Lots of terrible crosses last night nowhere near a head. Makes Pepi a useless player.

Dest is an amazing player but he tries to take on players too much and loses the ball a lot. I know he also creates a lot of good space for the players around him, but he can also slow down the momentum of a buildup by taking on a ton.

Once Pulisic and Reyna come back, we will move it much better.
 
Supposedly FIFA has informed all NTs that there will be World Cups every 2 years starting in 2026
 
Based on several soccer sources online today it's not clear that we'll have Pulisic and/or Reyna back for the Nov window. Will be a real challenge for GGG and the youngsters v Mexico. 3 pts would be amazing.

The Mexico/US qualifier is November 12th, not November 10th, right?
 
MLS-related, but since no one posts there...I'm going to Sounders-Galaxy on Monday and I'm pretty damn excited
