How much difference does a coach make? Poch is obviously well known I feel like tuchel is going to make a difference to England as well

Head coaches make quite a large difference to a side and their choices of playing list and tactical system can either make or break a major tournament campaign.

He did well with Spurs despite his lack of silverware. He started with the USMNT badly but he’s bound to have success.

I see alot of that spurs team in this team some of the movement is just superb wish we could play like this.

I think Poch will do for the US what Guus did for us just someone to take them to the next level.

I think Harry was right at halftime, our midfield is key to stopping their attack.

In that case we are truly fucked

Didnt watch the match but that score line is impressive.....would be one of the most satisfying victories in our history if we pull it off but gee it wont be easy

When do we have an easy game ?
Never ?!
Paraguay were like rabbits in front of headlights 1st half game won.
Was it nerves ? Partly but the yanks were on a mission and ran the game and attacked !
That’s football not sitting back forever waiting to play that checker game of opportunity soak up Poppa way.
I wish we had them 3/4 game after that for if we play as such I have fear.
Worse if we don’t get the result tomorrow bank 3 let alone 1.

Paraguay will have to come out and try and beat us due to goal difference

That one good outcome of 3.
We have to bank points 2 games.

That's why I feel a big US victory is one of the better results. Paraguay are now under immense pressure and must attack. Had they beaten the USA they'd be able to sit back in our final game.

We'll know a lot more after our first game but hopefully we can avoid defeat as a start. Win and we're going to be in a decent position.
