World Cup Day 9 - Cameroon/Serbia, South Korea/Ghana, Brazil/Switzerland, Portugal/Uruguay
Huge win for Ghana obviously. Korea now needs a win against Portugal on the final day to have any chance of advancing.

World Cup Day 9 - Cameroon/Serbia, South Korea/Ghana, Brazil/Switzerland, Portugal/Uruguay
The group stage games get better and better as the teams get more and more desperate and then tighten up again in the knockouts.

Ghana is more than capable of blowing this

USA World Cup Match 2: England
Player ratings Turner 7. Made the big save on Mount and distribution was generally fine. Makes me nervous on set pieces. Robinson 8. The left side of our defense has been immense. I wonder if a bigger team will buy him. Ream 8. Fantastic again. We knew he could distribute but his defending has been class. Zimmerman 6. Distribution was poor but defended well. This a level above him but he is battling. Dest 7. Thankful he didn’t pick up another yellow. Still not at his best but made some dangerous runs and we missed him when he went off. Adams 9. The heart of the team. His run back to make a tackle in the box when Robinson was caught upfield epitomized his performance. Inspired McKennie 8. Much better than against Wales. Won the ball, progressed the ball, beat his man. Showed why he starts. Musah 8. Can’t believe how young he is. Outplayed Bellingham. Another guy who is on his way to a bigger club. So important to wresting control in the first half. Pulisic 8. Involved in most of our positive attacking moves. Unlucky to hit the bar on a great effort. Took the game to England. Good delivery on corners Weah 6. Just ok for me today. Not bad but I want to see what Gio could do here. Wright 5. Not sure what he provides. I’d like to put Weah at the 9 against Iran. Aaronson 6. Ok but I expected more from him than just energy. In a tough role. Moore 4. Constantly fouled and wasted opportunities. Not good enough for this level. Play Scally. Sargent 5. Did nothing. We need a 9. Gio 5. Not enough time to make an impact. Berhalter 7. Got his initial tactics right and won the coaching battle against clown Southgate. Moore sub was poor and the Gio sub was 20 minutes late.

World Cup Day 6 - Wales/Iran, Qatar/Senegal, Netherlands/Equador
We avoided a Wales win which is the only result that really mattered. We are fortunate to be in a win and advance situation before even kicking a ball on match day 2. Correct

I wonder if egg will sit the guys on yellows since the Iran game is the crucial one

Wales was also shockingly awful against us in the first half and then gregggg greggged.

World Cup Day 4 - MOR/CRO, GER/JAP, SPN/CRC, BEL/CAN
The US results against both strongly suggest otherwise

Ohio State vs Michigan. The Game. Fox. 11 am Saturday
2006. #1 Ohio State beat #2 Michigan 42-39 in Columbus, the fans rushed the field, AND . . . nothing happened. 2012. Ohio State beat Michigan 26-21 in Columbus to complete an undefeated regular season and avenge the previous year's loss in Ann Arbor, the fans rushed the field, AND . . . nothing happened. The tickets are $1,500 a seat, the students are repeatedly informed they will be kicked out of school if they do anything, the game is at noon and there will be hundreds of police on the field. Nothing will happen except a bit of aggravation to the bruising your puss received in the ALCS.

Sounds like Michigan who has averaged 13 points in the first half against the shit Big 10.
