In the highlight clips I've watched the US looks like crap.

Oh jeez, I wanted to see the Candian goals and the CBC's story has a breakdown of Davie's goal and it is OBNOXIOUS... crappy cutting, flashing effects, jump editing, weird statistics overlay (top running speed?)... I just want to see the goal FFS.

Thankfully Soccer Canada has a more regular highlight reel on youtube.

They're a young team that often runs hot and cold. They also have a couple key players who are out injured, Pulisic and Reyna, arguably the two best American players of this generation.

It's complicated.

But I am certainly very disappointed so far.

Yeah. But they and Mexico will still grab spots 1 and 2, because that's the way it is. Spot 3 is the one with all the competition.

This summer they looked alright, the Nations League and the Gold Cup - not world beaters, but more coherent as a team.

What's so special about "the top drawer?"  The top drawer of what?  The top drawer is where I put my socks.

"Top shelf" on the other hand is obvious.  That's where you display the most expensive booze.

The top drawer is where jewelry is kept.

I keep mine in my second drawer, that way thieves won't find them.

But imagine the embarrassment if a thief breaks into your house and finds no jewels.
It would be all over the society pages.

True. Still, you could just claim someone had stolen them.
