No other way to explain yesterday’s match on the part of the Mexican NT. Lacking effort from the start, no creativity when attacking, failure to make effective runs on the sidelines, bad defensive scheme, giving away the first goal on a childish mistake, you name it. It was all wrong from the start. And while Diego Cocca and the players are to blame to an extent, it’s really the front office doings that have doomed this team all the way to what we saw last night.
After 22 minutes of a nothingburger from Mexico, they should’ve been down a score had it not been for Memo Ochoa’s extra effort on a 1-on-1 that forced Pulisic to readjust before taking the shot, causing bad contact and thus, the ball going over the net.
