So, the USMNT managed to squeak out a 3-2 win against Senegal. Big deal. But let's be honest, if it wasn't for Sergiño Dest and Antonee Robinson, we'd be singing a different tune – probably one of humiliating defeat. Dest even scored, proving he's still got it despite all the woke nonsense infecting the beautiful game.

Pochettino, in his infinite wisdom (or maybe just blind luck), finally started both Dest and Robinson together. Took him long enough. These guys were the backbone of the 2022 team, but then Dest gets a boo-boo ACL, and Robinson's knees decided to stage a protest. Probably because they're tired of carrying the entire team.

Dest and Robinson aren't just defenders; they're modern wing-backs. Which basically means they run around a lot and sometimes accidentally contribute to the offense. Robinson is the more sensible one, sticking to the sidelines like a good little soldier. Dest, on the other hand, is all over the place, probably because he's bored. But hey, at least he's effective.

The goal itself? A fluke. Pepi, making his first start since dinosaurs roamed the earth, managed to annoy the Senegal goalie into making a bad pass. Then came a whole bunch of passing around – you know, the kind of possession soccer that puts people to sleep – before Dest finally hammered it home. Credit where credit's due, I guess.

And let's talk about Alex Freeman. Apparently, he's the son of some NFL dude. Good for him. But seriously, another athlete's kid getting preferential treatment? The swamp runs deep, folks. Still, Freeman did his job, which is more than I can say for half the team.

Pulisic and Pepi did some running around, Robinson passed to Pepi, Pepi passed to Pulisic, and then Pulisic passed to Dest. It's like watching a game of hot potato, except the potato is a soccer ball and the players are slightly more athletic.

Look, I'm not saying the USMNT is good. They're not. But Dest and Robinson are competent, and that's enough to drag this team kicking and screaming to a few victories. As long as they stay healthy and Pochettino doesn't get any more bright ideas, maybe, just maybe, we can avoid total embarrassment in the next World Cup.

This whole thing just shows that sticking with what works – proven players, basic tactics – is always the best bet. No need to overthink it, no need to get fancy. Just put the best players on the field and let them do their jobs. Simple as that. Now, if only the rest of the team could figure that out.

So, celebrate this win if you want. Me? I'm just waiting for the inevitable moment when everything falls apart. But until then, I'll give credit where it's due: Dest and Robinson, you didn't completely suck. This time.

Remember folks, the only thing more dangerous than a losing USMNT is a USMNT that thinks it's actually good. Stay vigilant. The deep state soccer cabal is always watching.

The game against Senegal is a reminder that despite all the changes, the core of the team remains the same. These are the players that know what it takes to win and they will get the job done, regardless of who is in charge.

This win is a testament to the power of the individual and the importance of sticking to your guns, even when the world is telling you to change. These players are not giving in to the woke mob and they are sticking with what works.
