Episode 30: USA 1, Mexico 0: A bad plan from Sarachan, and good Concacafing from Miazga
We won the game. It was not pretty. But Greg thinks we learned a lot. I just wish we’d learned how to get Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie to both excel at the same time in the midfield, which we did not. Also Sarachan’s first half plan was not good enough.
