Oh wow, different angle way onside.

I guess it was closer than I thought

I stand corrected.

Love VAR

I was looking for when he got back fully onside. I didnt quite see it.

Wow, totally thought that was offsides. I was thinking since he played the ball forward and he was past the last defender that he was offsides. Didn't realize that it was ok as long as he was behind the ball when it was played. I thought the pass actually had to go backwards for it not to be offsides.

Need to come out strong and tied it up early.

Dear Tab,
Please sub Durkin for the second half.

Sincerely,
All US soccer fans including Mr and Mrs Durkin

Gotta finish that

Great save. Defense looks a little rocky.

Number 18 knows it's legal to pass the ball right?
I have never in my life seen someone go one on four more times than that guy.
And why Durkin didn't get lit up by the commentators for not closing out on the first goal I will never know, just absolutely lazy defending,

Just not our game it appears

They're not a critical with the young guys. But they did comment on the lack of closing.

I feel like I haven't seen play this ineffectual in the offensive third since... probably another USA match.

Another lost opp by 18.

Finally took a shot. An absolutely atrocious one, but I suppose it counts.

Of course they didn't call that

Referee is content to slow things down and let the seconds tick away on stoppages.

Ahh well - got to quarterfinals not bad

Why does the US bother sending anyone forward? None of them seem to know how to create any offense.

This is what we are and will always be

Yup always lose to the garbage down south. Oh well.

Coulda used Sargent?

So how'd we look?

Llanez wasn't going to get that call because he flopped the four previous times after running into traffic when he shouldn't have. I realIze the kid is talented, but he has no business being on the field or even on the team until he learns that the game isn't exclusively about him. And it wasn't just today on which I make that judgment.

As far as Durkin, I wonder if he would be better being more forward in the midfield. His passing was solid, and he understands how to break down a pressing defense. Will be interesting to how he develops.

Hate losing to these tiny Central and South American countries.

So where does Weah project at the senior level? He has to be part of the team with his performances right?

Would love to see him get regular minutes next year at any level.

VAR awards a penalty in the other QF match. And it's blocked.
And the VAR says the keeper left early, he's booked.
And the retake goes in.

VAR comes back to disallow a third goal for Senegal.

Incredible finish to this one. Injury time goal to send to extra time. Extra time goals, including one right as the clock struck 1:20 to send it to penalties.

Korea missed its first two shots, and had another one blocked, only to have that one overturned by the VAR for the keeper leaving early; and somehow won 3-3 (3-2 in penalties).

glad I stopped reading the thread so I didnt have to read your opinions, good god

Had to changed from Sweden Chile to the U20~World cup with Italy v zUkraine. It's like I'm watching in fast forward.

Really hoping Equador or Ukraine win it.

Ukraine just lost their center back Popov to a red at 1 nil I. The 80th minute. Hold on boys. Going to be a wild finish.
