Football Australia posted the line up post game. Great to see them all together and 2:1 in Argentina's backyard may not be all that bad.

It's good considering practically our 5 best players weren't even playing. We are going to play random lineups just to avoid giving away anything to Argentina when we play them at the U20 World Cup. I think Irankunda "INJ" was pulled for that reason because he is our wildcard. But yeah if that's the level where Argentina need a late winner against this lineup then with our full lineup we can definitely beat them and anybody we face.

No Hall, Lino, Bennie, Esposito, Okon Jr, Badolato, Toure or Irankunda in the lineup and we still did well.
 
And the US score. Too loose at the back and allow the shot which is a good one.
 
Being absolutely dominated early on.

Holding our shape well though.
barely trying to work through their press, just going long with no pressure on the ball carrier. Not happy with this coaching. The opposition has been tricky but we are yet to score
 
I'm just so frustrated with our coach selection at youth level
garcia at least has club experience but it isn't exactly flattering club experience....
 
usa score from half way. Getting embarrassing. I really wish there was accountability for our youth coach selection
 
We look better up the pitch but struggling to work it out of defence. We're so static in that next line up from defence.
 
USA’s ball movement has more slicker than ours, their chance creation looks a bit more better too.

To be fair we have some chances mostly from crosses so it’s not like they are not creating anything but the US have been the better team.
