U.S. The men’s national team celebrated the 2020 final with friendly guests El Salvador’s 6-0 route at the Inter Miami CF Stadium on Wednesday night.
Red, white and blue came out of the door on purpose, pairing five goals half an hour ago. Encouraged by the team’s positive passing at the end of El Salvador, Chris Mueller marked his first cap with a well-taken double. The fun dried up a bit in the final half hour, but the Nets were barely bothered by their opponents tonight.
Player Ratings:
Bill Hamid (6.5) – DC United Netminder may have also put its foot down and put funny pet videos from the binary scene for the first hour, but it did a few late night tasks.
Julian Araujo (7.5) – Unless El Salvador’s night back pass was gifted with a bad back error, Arajojo looked like someone who could push Reggie Cannon forward for years to come. LA Galaxy took possession of the right back high, freeing many runners from below and serving a delicious cross for Mueller’s second.
Aaron Long (6) – The Red Bulls defender had nothing to do around US territory until the sinking moments, but still managed some important stops. However, he misinterpreted some passes from behind, mistakes that could cost the team against a better enemy.
Mark Mackenzie (7) – Although not severely tested, the Warm Philly Union Center back was perfect in its defensive functions. To boot, McKenzie’s fine splitting pass was used by the U.S. for a second goal.
Sam Vine (7.5) – Like the Araujo, the Colorado left behind effectively made its direction os from both sides. The first goal rush from Wines’ clever lead pass.
Jackson Yule (7) – The San Jose midfielder offered the wing a healthy dose of diagonal pings, as you’d expect, and Mueller’s first aid was Aces. Still, I can’t help but wish he was more present when the opponent was trying to move in the middle.
Sebastian Lallet (8) – Yes, he missed an easy one along the way, but it could be the case that Let is the best player on the field. The “old man” (anyway in this group) was the live wire in the final third for his full shift. His sticky shake helper was also one of a handful of dangerous distributions, and he left El Salvador empty, chasing the dust on his slightly deprived target.
Brendan Aronson (7.5) – It’s a little weird to say this about the guy who got a goal and help, but Aronson’s best contribution was actually to facilitate the posture of attack for others.
Paul Ariola (7.5) – The DC United winger looked as alive as he had before a knee injury, which is always a great sign. In addition to its usual Yemeni defense-in-transition function, Ariola also adopted a goal and assistance.
Io Aquinola (7.5) – While some observers have openly criticized the U.S. Concerned neo-hippies and their global warming, i’ll tell ya. The influential newcomer attached to the number 9 set himself a goal and then moved on to an extended position, practically keeping the aggression at bay. Please give more!
Chris Mueller (8) – The ace of the city of Orlando was extremely quiet after the USA got its sixth, but who cares? Mueller helped the visitors break through the various corners in the first part. After setting Ariola’s opener (awake, official facial scorer!), The winger scored a nice first goal before aiming his bracket before diving left. He then generously gave Aquino a ticket to a hat-trick. Not bad for his first 27 minutes in a USMNT shirt.
Coach Greg Berhalter (7.5) – I mean, what can you say? The lineup was well built and its MLS. The boys ran with the game as early as possible to record proper blows.
Subs:
Marco Farfan (6) – The young left played right on his start, but he soon fell under the influence of the wines in the build.
Sebastian Soto (5) – About the time of Soto’s entry the team couldn’t help but let go of the gas, but during his half hour and change he was pretty invisible.
Kelin Acosta (6.5) – The Colorado Rapids were the only ones to advance in the team in the final quarter-hour.
George Mihailovic (5.5) – Modelfield was finally unable to move traffic in the right direction in its 16 minutes.
Kyle Duncan (6) – The Red Bulls soon acquitted themselves fairly well.
Vicker Zimmerman (-) – Just a cameo for MLS Defender of the Year.
