Joe freaking Scally would be a better sub than Moore. He gave the ball away more than Dest did in 1/3 of the mins

I'm assuming Reyna just isn't game ready in terms of injury?

Dude can be electric with the ball. Without Pulisic I hope we see him play on Saturday. Why not?

Wright is absolutely terrible. Jesus christ. Show for the ******* ball.

Glad the USA is in though. Hope Pulisic is ok.

Reyna has been playing for Dortmund for several weeks.

Another positive of this game is that we have the full squad available (card wise, idk about injury) in the knockouts. No yellow card accumulation so far


Yellows carry to the round of 16. Starts over at semi

Maybe they were saving him for the round of 16

We need good Jedi and Pulisic back on Saturday.




So we can pass the Dutchie pon the left hand side.

Well, that makes it more frustrating. I was hoping to see him get on the field.

We need Pulisic for NL. Otherwise, it will be tough.

I may be wrong but I don't think Pulisic is even on the field right now.


He's legit hurt

Yeah, Moore was atrocious. I hope we don't see him again.

Did pulisic just get nailed in the nads or what? It looked above the nads and into his stomach.

On another note, I personally had surgery on a hernia in my belly button. Hope it's not that.

I think Pulisic got spiked. I think about belt high and above his thigh.

As much flak as he has gotten.... he was our best player while we were trying to hold on.
Try and make something idiot proof, and all they do is make a better idiot.

I'm proud of the win. On to the knockouts. The Dutch are beatable.

Aaronson was good sub.

Zimmerman was phenomenal. Instantly shored up our defense.

Moore was bad and played dumb. He has tons of experience, but his play was jarring.

Wright was bad choice by Berhalter. We needed to swap forward for midfielder. He wanted to press for second goal. I actually thought he played pretty well but didn't have many chances. Except for the 3 on 1 debacle. That was an abortion.

Lalas didn't like the substitutions? I'm shocked.
Dempsey tearing them up too
No one liked them. They were bad.

Zimmerman and Aaronson weren't bad.

They said it was an abdominal injury during the broadcast. My thought would be muscle tear or hernia

To advance through the group stages, do so with no losses, and to tie (outplay) England, I feel like we're ahead of schedule. Love it.

Wright was terrible and has provided us nothing so far. Should've brought Pepi

Berhalter deserves credit. This is probably the best the US has looked in a WC in...decades? When was the last time the US looked the better team in all 3 of their group games? Has that ever happened? That said...

His end of game management is HORRIBLE. So effing bad. He did everything wrong in the last 30 minutes or so. If McKennie is hurt and can't go, then put on Reyna instead of Acosta. He kneecapped the attack with 30 minutes left to play!

I can somewhat understand the idea of Wright for Sargent when he got injured. In theory, Wright should be able to hold the ball and provide a good target. But Wright was beyond useless at both. Did literally nothing of value.

But the defensive line shift in the 83rd minute was atrocious. He had to know that there was going to be a ton of added time and asking your team...a team composed of half of your B team and have of your tired ass A team who are playing their 3rd game in 8 days...to defend for 20 minutes is so freaking stupid on so many levels. You're inviting a team who was not in the game back into the game. And defending is so much more tiring than possessing and attacking. Just grade A stupidity.

I don't care if it worked. It only worked because luck was on our side.
