How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
We can play a B team against Turkey
So the US-Turkiye game means nothing to either team
Yikes
The Great Man is He who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. ~ Ralph W.E.
We can rest all yellow card guys
USA playing first 4 games on west coast has been BS.
Turkey was capable of late game heroics (see Euro2008)
Trkiye is not.
Trkiye is not.
That was classic international soccer. Just pure ****housery.
I have to say he managed that amazingly well. Lots of refs would have made that hundreds of times worse. He managed the spectacle but also kept everyone in place while they acted out.

When is the last time the USA won all 3 games in its group?

They can play the whole damn tourney there for all I care, as long as they keep playing as well as they have been.
I know Round of 32 would be in "San Francisco Bay Area Stadium" but do we know Round of 16 location yet?
Everything I post is my ignorant opinion expressed in the emotions of the moment. I don't know jack about anything other than the things I do know about and sometimes even I don't know the difference.

Trkiye is apparently Turkish for "spray and pray"

Just looked it up.
Round of 16 would be in Seattle if the US wins the round of 32 game.
Then they would play in Los Angeles for the round of 8.
Both semifinals are in Dallas. Hopefully they make it there.

With Paraguay's 1-0 win over Turkey, we have officially secured the top spot of Group D.

Oh wow, I looked it up and it's sad
Quote:
In the 1930 World Cup, the US went 2-0 in the group stage, which would equal six points under the modern three points per win system.
Since 1930, the US has never earned more than five points in a World Cup group stage.

Dallas and Atlanta. Not both SF in Dallas
For this Greek-American Aggie there is nothing better than sip tears. 2nd best Turk tears.

This year is the first time since 1930 that the US has won two games in the group stage.
I hope Paraguay beats the Aussies

If we rest players, I wouldn't bet on winning all 3. Turks gonna come out blazing....or flat as hell

Many have talked about it being an advantage for the team -- not having to travel far, staying in the same time zone. I don't care, just win
Cp and all the guys with yellow cards can rest v the Turks.
I ain't dropping xx grand for US tix, so I couldn't care less where they play lol

and a chance to get minutes for some guys who havent played yet, becuase for a deep run you often need more than 13-14 players to deliver
Looking forward to seeing Zendejas, Aaronson, Arfsten, Roldan, etc.

Just start a fresh XI altogether.
I turned off the turkey game last night. sounds like I missed the hightened clownshow.
God loves you so much He'll meet you where you are. He also loves you too much to allow to stay where you are.

Wow just watched the crazy second half of the Turkey/Paraguay match. Oh my Turkey really were clueless in attack 62 shots over 2 game and a 3.48 xG aggregate.
This is a case of xG being misleading though since the did not create many big chances.

I turned it off after the red card. This thread made me watch the clown show this morning.
The USMNT, like Mexico, clinches its 2026 World Cup group with a game to spare.

U.S. wins Group D and will play its Round of 32 game on July 1 in the Bay Area.
The opponent?
Most likely Bosnia. These are all the possibilities, per @TheAthletic's forecast tool: pic.twitter.com/X6QTrGRmPk
this is the bad scenario, 3rd place from Groups E and I are potential landmines https://t.co/ffc5wAmV8r

So whats your lineup guys?
Presumably we arent playing Richards, Robinson, Balogun, or Adams. I think Dest may also be unlikely but he could play as can Ream, Freeman, Tillman, and McKennie, and its probably good to get anybody not at suspension risk some minutes.
Pepi, Wright, Weah, McKennie, Tillman, Roldan, Arfsten, Ream, Robinson, Freeman, Freese?
