Welcome to the Scuff Podcast where we talk about US Soccer. We got another convincing win. We seem to be endeavoring to play with the ball on the ground.

Jaid and Shaw got a brace?

I'm pleased.

Greg, you?

I am pleased, you know, I said last time out,

just the mindset is what I'm looking for right now.

I'm not looking for everything to be

perfect and I totally agree. We are trying to keep the ball on the ground. We're

trying to mostly play a little bit of soccer. There's going to be some growing

pains, but if you're taking growing pains in a 4-0 win against another World Cup team

I think that's a direction I can be okay with a team that was kind of a tough out at the World Cup I mean they weren't easy to play against and

Not easy to play against for us last night for big stretches of that game. I would say I mean it was never it didn't seem like it was ever in doubt but

No, this happened to be a ball go in game for us where like first three looks we got you know we're 3-0 up but yes they are not

easy to play against they didn't offer a lot coming back at us but they were

committed they are aggressive you You know they they want to get into you a little bit

So I think it's a great opponent to play the team that's trying to find its way through and not just give up on playing.

And because it would be easy to, right?

You're playing this committed low block, a 541 shape that they kind of rolled out defensively.

It'd be easy to get impatient to just fling it into the box.

We did get impatient at times, but it wasn't always flinging it in the box.

It might have been trying to hit a pass into a window that didn't really exist, but we were, I still think, you know, the bar for me is low. We were trying to play.

Yeah. It seemed like we kind of got impatient in the second half. Things got a little more
