Maybe by 2026 we will be competitive.

by then will we be the 7th or 8th youngest team in the tournament?

 

[Skeeter]

We've had 3 shots on target for the whole tournament. Is that low? That seems low.

See the strongest scoring chance created by the Americans in their scoreless draw with England.

Shaq Moore coming on seemed to lessen the pressure on England. He made the wrong decision everytime he was in possession and it killed some promising moves.

I LOL’d so hard when the announcer brought up Moore and Nashville FC then Grealish came
up and he brought up Man City. I don’t know why but the subtext of they way he said it was hilarious. Moore was terrible for the time he was in

Hope Argentina skull fucks Mexico

Vivre la France ?!

Mbappe seems pretty good

MESSI

 

[bruin]

Love me some messican tears

 

[kella]

Mexico shitting down their leg while their 2 best veteran players refuse to play for the SELECION is fucking amazing

Morocco beating Belgium by 2? What is this, me playing Football Manager in the early 2010s?

 

[silverwheels]

RIP Canada. They'll always have hockey and curling.

 

[silverwheels]

Spain in all red is trash. Bring back the blue shorts and socks.

 

[kella]

They just look like Roma.

Man, Belgium is super washed

musiala being selfish is probably going to cause Germany to be eliminated today

 

[kella]

Fullkrug just took that from Musiala, hahaha. Don't blame him

 

[Yankee151]

musiala being selfish is probably going to cause Germany to be eliminated today

I think they are safe no matter what since Costa Rica won. If this result holds they do need to win vs. Costa Rica and bank on Spain winning vs. Japan by a big margin tho

 

[Yankee151]

The result I clearly meant by Germany instantly scoring, lol. Silverwheels esque from me there!

I couldn't have agreed more with this post... but then Musiala being selfish accidentally served as the distraction that created the goal! It was very Turkey like, lol.

VAR blows

 

[adchester]

VAR has ruined soccer. Swear there are 2x as many goals called off as there are actual goals.

 

[OU11]

MOAR GOAALASOOOOOO and less VAR

 

[kella]

VAR has ruined soccer. Swear there are 2x as many goals called off as there are actual goals.

The technology and intent is great. The application which effectively causes excruciatingly tight judgement calls, and virtually negligible handballs, to be re-officiated is incredibly stupid.

 

[Yankee151]

Switzerland vs. Serbia for a spot in the Round of 16 (unless Brazil lose to Cameroon) will be very spicy.

Uruguay's roster is consistently full of the most anonymous players. I assume they all play in La Liga for random mid-table teams.

 

[adchester]

Lmao Ronaldo claiming the goal and it clearly didn't touch him

Iran doesn't just have the bus parked, they have it in the garage with the engine off lmao

Basically two forwards attacking and that's it lol

 

[bruin228]

Fine by me, U.S. is getting a lot of opportunities

 

[Wolfman21]

feels like the United States is on a power play the entire half and Iran is playing down a man, lol

 

[OU11]

WOOOOOOOOOO

 

[adchester]

Pulisic takes one in the nuts for the goal lol

 

[Wolfman21]

pulisic took a cock shot, lol

 

[Yankee151]

Melbourne, Florida banner in the crowd, what a goal!

 

[bruin228]

 

[DeadMan]

I scored a goal like that in high school. Got a cleat directly in the nuts for my trouble.

 

[Bmack]

Pulse check makes me prouder to be American than ever b4

Sophomore year of HS, I was the backup goalie. Our starter saved the ball and as he pulled the ball up, he took a kick square in the cock. Couldn't play for the rest of the season.

 

[bruin228]

Nice flop lol

 

[Yankee151]

So close to being onside

 

[Yankee151]

The right side of play is really nice to watch. Musah, Dest, and Weah are combining really well there overall, much better than previous teams

US is going to fuck this up
