I've attended and covered 8 World Cups, and if there was one thing I learned early on was that you need a solid defense. You cannot afford to give away cheap goals. The USA doesn't have the attack to score 3 goals a match. If the Americans continues to do this, they won't get far #USMNT #USAvPOR
NOT GOOD ENOUGH: #USMNT falls to #Portugal, 2-0, as Americans are outscored 7-2 in 2 friendlies - frontrow.soccer/tlw44 #USAvPOR
78' 0-2 Nice work by Agyemang, who sent a low LW pass to Balogun, who kicked it wide left #USAvPOR #USMNT
76' 0-2 Nice clinic Portugal is putting on in the 2nd half. Their ball possession must be 70 percent. All they want to do is wear down the US team defense and get a third goal #USAvPOR #USMNT
And oh yeah, before I forget, that was Fernandes on the corner kick that set up the goal #USAvPOR #USMNT
61' 0-2 A corner kick from the left floats into an unmarked Joao Felix just outside the box and he powers a shot thru several bodies and the US defense and into the lower left corner #USAvPOR #USMNT
48' 0-1 At halftime, Pochettino made three major substitutions, pulling Pulisic, Weston McKennie and Robinson for Patrick Agyemang, Tanner Tessmann and Max Afsten, respectively. #USAvPOR #USMNT
An OK first half by the US, which finds itself on the short end of a 1-0 score. The USMNT has been slow and sometimes a step off. Belgium's skill and soccer savvy was demonstrated on its goal. #USMNT #USAvPOR
Pulisic acting like a baby. Sucks to suck dude. Take your lumps and do better. Don’t take it out on opposing players simply because they’re kicking your ass.

37' 0-1 A fantastic pass from Fernandes to Trincao to produce the first goal of the match as the latter slips the ball into the lower left corner past Freese #USAvPOR #USMNT
That is one heck of a save from Matt Freese to deny Bruno Fernandes a Portugal opener.

Looking 🔙 on scenes from Saturday #USAvBEL. Excited to get back out there today for #USAvPOR. #WeCameToSing
I hope someone asks Emma Hayes why players who have 20-30 yards clear in front of them with teammates out wide during drives are just randomly stopping and playing the ball back. It's happened at least 3 times now, and it is completely borking any momentum during attacks.
