Care to respond to my actual statement without a pompous redefinition? Do you agree that Uruguay is an athletic and running team or not?

Which team doesn't have athletic players?

USMNT

I agree with this completely. If you think Tyler, Weston and Musah are athletic midfielders, you don't know what athletic means. The centerbacks are even worse (though with Ream, that is a function of age). Uruguay has multiple players head and shoulders above anybody on the US team; they are also more athletic. I don't know what "running" team means at all.

Name some of history's top rated Midfielders
Think Spain, Holland, Germany, Brazil, Croatia, Argentina....
How many of them were/are more 'athletic' than the USA Midfielders

People like modric are more athletic. The us Mids are not athletic. Have had weight issues. Worse many have had discipline/professionalism issues. Marsh is right.
Berhalter is playing same guys in same formations and getting same results over and over.

USMNT gets outworked by other teams.

LOL .... Little Luca Modric is more athletic than Tyler Adams?

This ignorance has no limits

That aside, athleticism is/has never been listed as top requirement for great Midfielders.
IQ, Vision, Decision Making, Technical Skills all come before

At 38 Luka is comparale to McKennie's speed at 25.
Adams is faster than Luka, but not more athletic.
How bad is the US mids? Adams was involved in creating 2 chances in 381 minutes of Copa. He can't make progressive passes now, he has played so little he never should have been on team. In the Copa, Matt turner attempted more passes than each of his midfield or attacking teammates in the loss to Uruguay. He attempted more passes than Reyna and McKennie combined during the tournament.
There is so much wrong with this team it is clear that an overhaul is needed. Adams and Reyna should be benched for now, Musah too. And a change in formation(s) tactics and coach and some attitudes (CP and Weah). Then we can see if there is anything actually there.

And it doesnt stop there: our director Betty Crocker is at the Euros instead of the Copa. Any Americans at the Euros? What a joke, that the director isnt even at the Copa, and still lives overseas. Nice remote gig.
