<s>#</s>USMNT reaches <s>#</s>CopaAmerica semis for first time since 1995. Deserved, if fraught, on the balance. Diligent, gritty display. <s>#</s>USAvECU

FYI...Argentina has scored 10 goals and given up only 1 in 3 games....won 2-1, 5-0 and 3-0.....

 

[Red Reign]

We will take it....

ARG or VEN will have 2 fewer days to prepare for semi. Poor planning by <s>#</s>CopaAmerica. Colombia was expected to be in this position, not USA.

<s>#</s>USMNT has now gone 3 1/2 matches in <s>#</s>copaamerica without conceding a goal in the run of play.

JK's choice to put Besler at LB and move Johnson to RB was brilliant. Johnson faired very well, and Besler was more than solid.

Next game, it gives us the option of moving Johnson to the MF.

Yedlin at RB and Besler at LB.

I agree...push Johnson up to midfield.... Bradley, Beckerman, & Johnson in a 4-3-3....

JK's choice to put Besler at LB and move Johnson to RB was brilliant. Johnson faired very well, and Besler was more than solid.

Next game, it gives us the option of moving Johnson to the MF.

Yedlin at RB and Besler at LB.
