I think first tiebreaker is goal differential, which makes playing Qatar in the final group stage match favorable for the U.S. I don't think Nigeria beat Ukraine, though.

Thanks! I don't think so either. But you never know!

Going into group play, I believe Nigeria was the slight favorite to win the group.

After watching both, I'd go with Ukraine. Keep in mind these are very young men and Ukraine isn't far from Poland.

I looked it up yesterday and GD is the first tie breaker. Hopefully we win by 4-5 and just put it out of reach.

I think if we played Ukraine again we would beat them. We had tried out a new formation/tactics with Weah in the lineup, and it didnt do well against a Ukraine team that was bunkering for large portions of the game. They are good though for sure.

We out played them 90% of the game so I don't disagree.

So I read from Paul Carr, that with results that have happened as of yesterday, we can advance with a draw and even possibly with a loss.
Personally, I vote we win by 4 goals.

Yep. Never a good strategy to leave it to the hands of others.

That being said, if we lose or tie today we don't deserve advancing.

Going out with a 3-5-2 formation?



Mendez, Konrad and Richards need to be careful not to pick up another yellow card.

Will be interesting to see how they play without Pomykal.

Norway turned a -4 goal differential into +8. All the more reason for the U.S. to take care of business.

I couldn't believe that scoreline

Damn, Norway put a dozen past the Honduran goal keeper. That forward scored 9 in the game. Wow.

Looks like a 4-4-2 with Mendez or Soto adding midfield support making it look like a 4-5-1 on defense

eta: so i guess more like a 4-4-1-1

This lineup was made to win 1-0 or draw 0-0. Almost nothing doing moving the ball into the attacking third.

That's what link I'm using too.

Not sure why it's not listed for you on FS website.

Their possession style they played the last 2 games is gone. They can't maintain possession and seem a step slower than Qatar.

If you can't count on consistency from 17-20 year old, who can you count on??

I would say they took advantage of the liberal drinking laws, but most of them are European based already

Great save!

Ya the offense could use Pomykal as a pivot for sure. Wingers have nothing to do and lots of sloppy play out of the back

Agreed.

Mendez's ball had too much bend on it or he hit it too far to the right.

Yeah, that was a horrible tackle. Luckily Weah didn't get hurt.

I'm not sure I'll even watch the 2nd half. Qatar looks better than us and that's embarrassing.
