If we clinch the group tonight, do you sit Pulisic vs Turkey just as a caution?

I would. I don’t know the rules. Unless a better goal differential of group winners gets us a better matchup


That doesn’t matter. The group winner slots are already set for knockout stage. If Paraguay win/tie tonight our spot in next stage is locked regardless what happens against turkey

Quick Question: Does the Australian Government have the Socceroos Offense still on stringent COVID restrictions today?


They got lucky vs. Turkey and caught them out twice. The scoreline doesn’t tell how badly they were outplayed at all.

Turkey doesn’t have the athleticism the US has in the back either.

No way we are the 17th best team in the world right now. I’m thinking surefire top 10.

I think if the US has 6, and has a 5 GD or so at day's end, then you can feel good about winning the group

If we win this group... we play a 3rd place team from either group B, E, F, I, or J

Regardless of sport, if it’s the US vs another country people give a shite. I’m a prime example. I would love to be there even though I would be confused a lot

We need to lock in in the second half. We’ve been decidedly worse in the second half recently.

That’s exactly what he did. We should trust the process.

We got permission to host a "party" in a bar (it was on a Sunday) in 2014 for the Portugal game. It was fun even thought we lost late

So pretty much the R16 match.

To be fair, we’ve had a bunch of players who have been hurt the last two years to go along with rotation of players that Poch wanted to get a look at. This is the first time in quite a while that everyone has been healthy at the same time.

I like that they have card girls like boxing. Outfits need some work though!

The fact we have Dest, Adams, Robinson, and Pulisic (ish) healthy at the same time is almost a miracle.

Put that ball on the corner flag from midfield right where he was aiming

You're right. I just remember fricking it up at the end with a perfect Ronaldo cross
