I know that “MLS defending” has a historically been the punchline, but Zimmerman has apparently been named defender of the year in MLS several times recently… yet he makes such an egregious error in the biggest moment. Is the standard of defending still that low in MLS? Just a particularly bad mental error in a bad spot…?
If he’s going against prime Gareth Bale ok, understandable, but Bale is basically on a retirement tour at this point

I just don’t think he’s that good, I hate his style of defending personally. I also think him being in the MLS is just the cherry on the top for me. When you’re always the best player on the field with inferior completion I’m an avid believe that when you get to these top tournaments against these top players, you’re just not ready. Sometimes mentally, sometimes physically, sometimes both.
