particularly that last one?? Obvious shoulder throw. Ball wasn't even around

[blurfan]

fuck yeah!!!!

I'm watching the match in Hershey and the entire town erupted when Pulisic's perfectly weighted pass was taken expertly by Tim Weah. What a great goal!

[elpingu]

I’m Costa Rican but I’m rooting for US to do well. The squad is so talented, but Burkhalter sucks. They’re spreading Wales out, but playing too much of the possession tiki taka game. Wales can’t stay with these guys athletically.

That said, they’re outclassing a European team, which is impressive on its own.

If they get this it will be a huge bummer

Jules Rimet still gleaming 🎵

Putting in Morris over Gio Reyna is some pretty laughable shit.

With Gio's fitness in question and how physical this game has been, I think it's defensible.

If he can’t play 15 minutes, he shouldn’t be on the roster.

Jesus what was Turner thinking coming out that far?

[blurfan]

3 points would have been huge, but this team never makes it easy lol

Midhalter sucks

I really hope someone asks him why Reyna didn't play

[ne215]

really inexcusable to not use Reyna. I know guys were getting gassed but it felt like Aaronson was getting missed wide open in the middle a lot

[blurfan]

Pulisic has to do better on set pieces on Friday. Every corner and free kick from him was trash today.

And leaving Pulisic on to keep getting his ankle kicked is coaching malpractice.

Surprisingly he had pregame tactics correct. But when Wales brought on Moore at halftime, Greggg couldn't readjust.

Question is if 4 points will get the US out of its group. Unless Iran just really sucks that bad, I don't see us beating England.

It will definitely come down to who does better vs Iran. England was just too good today but Iran did score 2. They won't lie down vs either US or Wales. I think Iran can get a draw vs one of the teams and that will be the decider.

I don’t think it is. That’s why this game is such a bummer. Forces you to pray you snatch an unlikely point from England. And makes Iran a must-win.

[blurfan]

Best case scenario for  Wales- Iran is a 0-0 draw, which seems like a possibility with how defensive both sides play.

unless you think wales can get a point off England 4 points is enough.

💯

We don't have to be faster than England we just have to be faster than Wales.

[blurfan]

If England has first place secured going into the Wales game I do worry that they play there b team and Wales pulls a point.

So, uh, while you were sleeping, Saudi Arabia with the shocker of shockers...
