  1. Wrong thread
  2. That result makes a win today even more important for Mexico/Poland

    I said he could do nothing on the PK

    USMNT 2022

    Player Ratings Turner 6 - One solid save but looked shaky at times on set pieces. Could do nothing on the PK. Average Dest 6 - Naïve tackle to pick up a completely unnecessary yellow but calm on the ball and the drop off when Yedlin came on was noticeable. Zimmerman 5 - Battled hard but also naïve on the penalty that cost us 2 points. Ream 7 - Solid in defense and passed well. Good relationship with Robinson Robinson 7 - Amazing motor. We looked much stronger on the left throughout the match. Adams 8 - Clearly the best player on the pitch. Won everything McKennie 4 - Thought he sucked. Gave the ball away constantly. Looked to be injured. Aaronson must start against England Musah 6 - Potential is through the roof. Lost effectiveness in 2H but he gives us something different and positive compared to other MFs Pulisic 7 - Was very dangerous until he was kicked out of the game. Sargent 6 - Needs to put the header on target but did his job. Held up the ball and pressed well. Weah 7 - Tired late but provided effective wing play and scored the goal. Should start again Aaronson 6 - Should have come on earlier. Won possession and didn't constantly give the ball away like Weston Acosta 5 - We needed to shore things up defensively and he is all we have. World Cup level is just above him. Wright 4 - Why is he on the team instead of Pepi? Yedlin 4 - Clear drop-off in quality from Dest. Shouldn't get another opportunity with two more RBs on the roster Morris 4 - Provides nothing. Why did he come on instead of Gio? Shouldn't be on the roster much less the field. Berhalter 4 - Got the starters right but who couldn't? All of his subs were average or poor other than the obvious one that everyone could have made. Completely outcoached by Page at HT and throughout the second half. Looked shell shocked every time the camera panned to him. We all knew he would fuck us this world cup and he did. Moron. Qatari ref 4 - This is the world cup and there will be a few refs who aren't qualified for this level and he is one of them. Allowed Wales to kick Pulisic out of the game and was inconsistent throughout but for both sides.
  5. Wales as expected except Wilson is starting instead of Johnson
  6. As good as we could have hoped for.
  7. soccer twitter is tipping Ream and Sargent to start
  8. Awful from De Jong
  9. Portugal only played in 2 of the first 16 World Cups and 1 of the first 9 Euros.
  10. This "feels" like a competitive match even without Mane
  11. Netherlands are way in front of Belgium (7 more wins, +38 GD compared to -4 for Belgium and 4 podiums compared to 1 for Belgium).
  12. Per the Guardian: 79 min: The official attendance of this match is 45,334. The stadium has a 68,000 capacity. Oh Fifa.
  13. Dier isn't much better as evidenced by that Taremi getting behind him
  14. This Iranian defense is laughable
  15. There's Maguire getting completely owned.
  16. I kind of enjoy how little he speaks. The less color man, the better.
  17. Wales will likely play a 3-4-3 while in attack (which will primarily be counterattacking) and a 5-4-1 while in defense. They have good speed on the wings on the counter with James and Johnson (both EPL players). Bale will probably start as a false 9 with Aaron Ramsey (in decline but experienced) and Ampadu (Chelsea loanee in Serie A) in CM. Their back five consists of two EPL starters (including Ben Davies from Spurs) and a Ligue 1 starter at CB, and an EPL and Championship player at wingback. GK will also be an EPL starter. I can definitely envision greggg getting his ass handed to him tactically here.

    MUNDIAL XXII

    Two yellows results in a suspension so wearing them was never going to happen
  19. Shaw is LB and in good form. Clinical cross to Bellingham for the opener. England will be looking to crush us for a number of reasons including being able to rest guys against Wales.
  20. The winner of this game will advance from this group. Anything is possible if this game is a draw.
  21. Southgate finally played only 2 CBs. Playing an attacking lineup against a completely outclassed defense will yield that 1H. Maguire looks great in a game where his primary responsibility is to win headers in the opposition box. He will get exposed immediately when he has to repeatedly defend pace on the turn.
  22. Iran's back 6: GK: Iran league RWB: Dinamo Zagreb CB: Iran league CB: Iran league CB: Kayserispor (Turkish league) LWB: AEK Athens

    Ream has supposedly been playing with the 1s. The big questions in addition to RB are Aaronson or McKennie, Weah or Reyna and Sargent or Jesus.

    Lots of noise that Dest isn’t ready and Moore will start.

    USA is arguably THE weakest Pot 2 side and and Iran is one of the weakest Pot 3 sides. England also loves Wales as its UEFA opposition. The Round of 16 matchup against Group A is also very fortunate as opposed to a matchup with a Spain and Germany level group. Not debatable.
