Final 1-0. Wales will meet the USA in the World Cup. Garett Bale will have to delay his retirement. ESPN commentators will have to find another story line to deflect attention away from the USMNT. Anti American American woke sports networks never cease to amaze me how they rationalize their antipathy for USA men’s soccer.

First ten minutes of this game and the USA is playing back on their heels. Yedlin had saved a goal off the line. Sean Johnson has gotten his hands on many balls already. We cannot hold possession in their attacking third. Backline seems to want to clear every ball to the back of Uruguay’s line. Pulisic has created a couple of chances. One was a long pass to Weah that showed promise if delivered better.
13th min. started holding possession a little better producing a Weah run that gets us a corner. Pulisic takes it. McKinnie awkward bicycle goes over the cross bar.

Some sloppy play and mis touches by USA defending including Johnson giving up a corner, yet We seem to get by without being punished for it. These are the plays that worry me against the big teams like England .
44th min.

First fifteen minutes of second half produce chances for both sides, but none come to score. USA changed three players at the start of half and that leads to a little bit of chaos. At the 60th min. Lots of subs on both sides. Wright comes in for Ferreira. Yedlin leaves for Robinson. Aaronson,Palmer Brown, and Arriola came on at half. Cavani now comes on for Uruguay.

Johnson made a point blank save off a Uruguayan cross. USA looks weak now on the defensive line with all the changes and newer players. Not a bad thing as we need to test these players up to see if they can produce.

Coaches and announcers talking about Uruguay taking one extra substitution. Water break in second half allows team to regroup and plan for a goal to take this friendly.
It is World Cup preparation game. Allow USA one more substitution to make up for Uruguay not being able to do simple math.
Use it to see another player. We got to see what we need and do have for this cup.

De La Torre gets in the game with substitution for Musah, who had a good game. Musah continues to be able to hold possession in tight quarters.

91st min, Uruguay win free kick after DeLaTorre fouls. DeLaTorre was brought down, but no call given before turning over the ball which led to the foul. Free kick is easily gathered by Johnson.
Arriola later wins ball that leads to an opportunity to shoot, but nothing comes from it. USA hasn’t got a shot off in a good while in the second half.
93rd min, Uruguay get a 2v1 breakaway which leads to a miss shot from Cavani. Lucky for us to not be beaten.
USA fortunate to get a tie, but also unfortunate to not finish some good chances.
0-0 final.
Nations league is next. 4 games left till World Cup vs Wales.

The subs that came on were all a step down from those that were brought off.

USA vs Grenada, Austin, TX. First game of the CONCACAF Nations Legue. Only available on ESPN+, because as usual, ESPN networks want to crap on the USA men’s team as much as possible with out it being too noticeable.
