The best we can say about the performances of the US men's team in the last two preparation matches for this month's World Cup?
Perhaps Gregg Berhalter just trying not to show his hand to the group's haters?
The bland, sloppy and maladjusted USMNT looked terrible again, leaving fans with little hope for a team less than two months away from beating Wales, England, and Iran in Qatar.
The Yanks are now winless in seven straight games on foreign soil, losing to Panama, Canada, Costa Rica, and Japan while drawing with Jamaica, Mexico, El Salvador, and Saudi Arabia.
USMNT is in the hands of Saudi Arabia as unrest continues. Giovanni Reyna leaves the USMNT friendly against Saudi Arabia injured for World Cup 2022. Schedule: Groups, Schedule, Matches, Brackets.

Matt Turner: 6.5 – A good, if not excellent, shot-blocker, his footwork could cost Zach Steffen a starting job.
Sergio Dest: 6 At times, he was a problem defensively, he was a little better than usual in his wing, but Saudi Arabia is not the Brazil of the Roberto Carlos era.
Walker Zimmerman: 5.5 – The solution to who to put next to the Nashville SC star is Mission #1. Left out to dry alongside a similar but inferior CB in Long.
DeAndre Yedlin (Rev 59′): 6:5 – Physical, brilliant, and accomplished. Let's hope his injury is not so serious.
Tyler Adams: 6.5 – He's asked to play his strength in a one-person holding role, but he also takes too many risks on the ball.
Christian Pulisic (at 76′): 5 – Faded.
Ricardo Pepi (Rev 59 ′): 5 Hunger for touch.
Paul Arriola (Day 30): 5. Paul Arriola (5 – Takes a foul or two. Joe Scally (In 59′): 7 – Just a half-hour sample, but he seemed like the man best equipped for his boss's plan.
Jesús Ferreira (In minute 59): 6 – He finished and passed Pepi.
