For the first time in its history, the USMNT fielded a starting XI with all 11 players playing in top 5 European leagues. The team fell 1-5 against Colombia at home in this friendly. The team hadn’t given up 5 goals in a game in 15 years (240 games), and only twice in the last 34 years. Gregg Berhalter’s record against top 20-ranked teams drops to 5 wins, 6 losses, and 7 draws, with four of those wins coming against Mexico. Notably, the post-match press conference wasn’t streamed, ostensibly due to technical difficulties.
Instead of giving you our player ratings, we want to know what you think. Below is a ratings form for you to fill out with ratings for each USMNT player’s performance. After a day/night of voting, we’ll tabulate the ratings and reveal them with the top rated player being named Stars and Stripes FC’s Man of the Match. Feel free to head down to the comment section and leave your thoughts on the match as a whole or give your detailed explanation of your ratings.
