Reply to "USMNT Reboot"

Right now I sort of feel badly for USMNT, because it seems no matter what they do, it's not good enough for a lot of pundits.

They struggle but solidly beat Guyana. 

"Guyana has never been in a national team tournament! How was it even close?!!!"

They struggle early, but de-pants T&T

"T&T isn't a very good defensive team! Panama will be different."

The backups struggle a bit but do enough to win the group and beat Panama 1-0.

"Well this was Panama's B team."

I see it coming up next if they beat Curacao...

"Curacao isn't a very good team."

And they will get the same crap if they beat Jamaica or Panama in the semis.

And if they do that and face and beat either Costa Rica or Mexico the excuse will be "both of those teams were injury depleted."

Suddenly the narrative is shifting from USMNT "just isn't good enough," to "USMNT is winning, but they aren't beating anybody."
