Obviously, the result was nice, if largely meaningless, but the opening 25 minutes or so were the best we've seen the USMNT play in the Pochettino era. Some great stuff from Pulisic, Dest, Pepi, McKennie, and Balogun, and a lively showing from almost everyone else on the pitch.

Granted, I'm concerned about Gio and Ream, neither of whom played well, and we badly need Richards to get healthy, but it's sure nice to feel optimistic for a change.
