    A USMNT special. These African counties are still figuring it out.

    The Greatest Entry into the field as a sub to score a goal.

    Ouch the refs really screwed up. They had no business letting him onto the field then.

    Poland plays the entire match that way, whether they are up or drawing.

    Because the US invented that style and is the only team to do that. Jose Morinho says hi.

    That was a massive fu*k up by the ref. No way you let a player come back on the field in that situation.

    I know it hurts but relax, 2026 will be here soon enough. BTW how is this Poland team ranked 8th in the WC going in?

    The ranking is/was easy to "manipulate" if you don't play any friendlies, because only the average points of the last 12 months count. Poland played a good qualification, so they didn't risk to lower their numbers and played no official friendlies in over a year before the World Cup drawing.

    FIFA recently introduced a new formula, hope that provides a more realistic ranking.

    These refs really need to get their act together. I guess this one makes up for the Senegal goal.

    This match is a classic first-round poor referee exhibition.

    Senegal played a pretty good counter game.

    Two unexpected results now in Group H and we have an elimination match between Poland and Colombia on Sunday. Didn't see that coming, had both of them advancing.

    As they should. Defend and use your speed and individual skill to counter. Pretty good strategy if you ask me. But I'm a USMNT fan...

    They have to start him. It was a f*** up of major proportions not getting him in the game against Uruguay. If they are eliminated early, that coach will not be riding home on the team plane.
