    Not a very pretty 1H, but US got 2 interesting goals out of it and nobody got hurt. I'll take it.

    Man, I'm so glad Chris Richards is back healthy. He's a game-changer for the US.

    No jinx.

    Can you imagine an Australia/Mexico match?

    eta: I don't know about sore losers, it's just how they play.

    I will take it. Let's get Pulisic healthy and recreate game one in the knockouts.

    Go Paraguay!!

    He did a pretty solid all-around job in a tough game to ref, I'd say

    Yeah, don't even bother playing him in game 3, give him another week to heal up.

    Agree, Australia could make a case for a penalty in the second half because Irankunda was clearly hit, but no crucial mistake to not give it. Don't understand anyway why they didn't start Irankunda, the only somewhat capable offensive player I've seen in their shirt.

    Now rooting for Scotland.

    Second goal for Ismael Saibari. Looking forward to see him join Bayern after the World Cup.

    Freeman has been the best defender so far in the tournament. He's an absolute beast of an athlete. He bodied the aussies all game.

    Ream got smoked on that one play by their CF which they didn't convert on. Ream is still a major liability

    I mean you can't blame Ream for being slow cuz he's 38. He was supposed to be elite from being able to pass from the back but he's looked shaky at even that. Issue is if you take out Ream who do you replace him with? Trusty? Robinson? Theyre both garbage and worse than Ream. The back line is the only that's stopping Usmnt from going deep in the tournament.

    I want to say congratulations to the referees in the Morocco/Scotland match for repeatedly refusing to reward flopping.

    It was refreshing.
