Where is our next ref from? Hopefully Europe or South America as these refs from Middle East / Africa are normally out of their league (see Canada match)
Venezuela.
UEFA is impossible against England

Good point...CONMEBOL ref seems like a winMathguy64 said:

I'm terrified that we get Frappart against Iran.
With the expanded field in 2026 and the need for more refs, I'd imagine the ref situation is going to get worse.gougler08 said:

Our two warm up match opponents had pretty good first games

Quote:
England are hopeful captain Harry Kane will be fit to face the United States on Friday despite an ankle injury scare, sources have told ESPN.
The 29-year-old underwent a scan which is believed to have been more precautionary than in response to a deterioration in his condition after he was substituted with 14 minutes remaining of Monday's 6-2 win over Iran.
Kane, who has a history of ankle problems, was pictured with strapping on his right ankle as he left the Khalifa International Stadium but sources have played down the severity of the problem and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford confirmed Kane took part in a closed training session at the team's base in Al Wakrah on Wednesday.
Better for us if they play a gimpy Kane? Still plenty dangerous I'm sure though.
sadly a gimpy Kane probably still beats Dest or Yedlin 7 outta 10
#USMNT spokesman says all 26 players are healthy and available for selection Friday against England.

Follow up on Reyna
"If it was a one-off or knockout game I think we would have seen Reyna play, but Berhalter said he still expects Reyna to play a big role in this tournament." @FOXSports writer and USMNT insider @ByDougMcIntyre gives the latest updates on the current state of the team 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/3SsSwrAGQh

Didnt watch the video, but to address the headling of that tweet...I would suggest playing Reyna and potentially securing a win could be viewed as the most important minutes he could play in the group stageTRM said:

JJxvi's suggested, but unlikely, lineup picks for England
4-2-3-1
Aaronson
Pulisic, Reyna, Weah
Adams, Acosta
Robinson, Ream, Zimmerman, Scally
Turner
4-2-3-1
Aaronson
Pulisic, Reyna, Weah
Adams, Acosta

Concacaf needs to get going, let it start with us.
Flip Aaronson and Pulisic. The only thing I don't like is our MF bench is lacking options.
I'd start Musah over Acosta. With that lineup, you'll have to play through the lines and I just don't have confidence that Acosta will give you much if any ball progression against England.JJxvi said:

America's team won on Thanksgiving, time for America's other team to win on Black Friday!
Shot heard round the world round 2
We are the only concacaf team to score so far right?
So we are the chosen ones, make it happen.

Ya especially with a 5 am alarm to watch the Wales/Iran match
I've had like 6 cups of coffee today so I may still be up for the start of that Wales game. That outcome is going to be huge.
I am recording the 5a game will watch that when I wake up, plenty of time before our game to squeeze it in.
You guys east coast? 5am would maybe be manageable but I'm not doing 4am
I'll just check the score when I wake up
I'll just check the score when I wake up
In Houston for Thanksgiving so I'll be at The Phoenix at 4 if y'all Houstonians wake up
What's better for our chances. A draw between Wales and Iran?
Iran win means we're virtually guaranteed to advance if we beat Iran even if we lose to England.
Guarantee is a strong word. Especially if we get pasted by England tonight. But point is if you assume a loss tonight (not that we should but it is the worst case scenario), then it's better for Iran to beat Wales.
Iran appeared to be off.
Damn. That was a nice touch by Iran in that build up.

Dude who made the last pass was just too unselfish
Miles off. Not sure what the AR was watching.
Iran got way too fancy with that. Should be 1-0.

They also have something that we don't have (or Wales for that matter). A top forward who can finish. Taremi is a beast. They will not be an easy out by any stretch.
Unless your England...then they are an easy out.
