What were the key moments in the USMNT vs. Jamaica match?
It's very rare when I'm in my house where I say, oh my God, what a goal.
He finishes with his left foot and he almost kind of like skip hops to the right. Inching closer to my record really fast here. Unfiltered Soccer presented by Volkswagen. Welcome into unfiltered soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard. We are your co hosts and we're coming to you not live but after the US men's national team versus Jamaica second leg. We decided we'd watch the game and give you our thoughts and when we go back to the rest of the show later on that was recorded this morning so LD interesting game.

We have mailbag questions that came from you guys this week. Great questions. Keep them coming in. So Yeah, interesting game. I'm glad, Tim, it happened the way it did. Let me explain that. So we score early. We're all over them early. It's 3-0 at halftime. I don't get on Twitter, but I'm sure if I did, everyone would be talking about how we're the best team in the world.
We're going to win the World Cup, etc., etc.
Yeah.
Settle down. Second half was a little sloppy. Still a lot of chances, but giving up two not great goals. And honestly, you know, we talked in the first episode about goalkeeping, defending, midfield, strikers, depth. Where's our squad at? And honestly, it all played out exactly the way we think of it as. Goalkeeping, still a little suspect. Defensively, not great. Midfield was awesome. Christian was... Outstanding, attacking, still TBD on a nine, even though everyone's going to go crazy and say Ricardo Pepe's now the nine. And then the depth was not great. And that's kind of the way it unfolded today.
Well, yes. The worry for me, and I feel great about the result. The worry for me is this was a conca calf, two leg, home and away, exactly the way it was supposed to look. Going down to Jamaica, the pitch is terrible. Everyone complains about the pitch, which, by the way, is by design if you've been in the game long enough.
It's actually the best I've ever seen that field.
I was like, what are you talking about?
It looked amazing.
These teams know that we get on these pristine pitches in America, and we play them off the park. So what do you do? You leave it long. You leave it nasty. You make it a dogfight. Okay, so that's fine. Everybody is wanting to know, like, what is – pochettino going to change what's his mark on the team going to look like right you want to have an identity of a team and and when you look at poch at his best it's a solid some sort of semblance of a of a 442 this team kind of lends itself to having maybe three, three attackers up front, but he likes to play through lines. He likes to be systematic and and pragmatic. And I and I tend to think or I tend to like about him. He relies on his best players to go win the game, right? He's not trying to he's not trying to overcomplicate it. And yes, Christian Pulisic
as we already know has been in sensational form he's done that again um our midfield is our strength there's no doubt about it um which again is a positive sign because so often in the past it's always been staunch defensively and try and nick a goal from somewhere there's some creativity and there's some there's some real ideas in that midfield look up front with pepe he's getting the goals which is important and with flo being out injured Winner stays on for me, right? Can you score consistently? If you can score consistently, then you keep the shirt. And right now, he's scoring the goals. He keeps the number nine shirt. And for the foreseeable future, until Flo can get healthy and challenged back for that. And look, defensively, again, as an overarching thought, defensively, that was not great.
