The fact that 4-0 is a flattering scoreline really tells you all you need to know. Total domination by Liverpool. 

 

Much as I enjoyed that score, Spurs drawing against Burnley outweighed it. Terrible showing yesterday. 

[Crabcake47 1,553]

Now that most transfer windows have closed (Spain's closes today) which signings do you think have been the best so far? Mine are:

 

Salah to Liverpool

Matic to United (ugh)

Morata to Chelsea

Mooy to Huddersfield

Sanches to Swansea 

Neymar and Mbappe to PSG

Salah and Mooy have made the most impact, but I'm excited to see Sanches at Swansea

[crashcarson15 2,002]

I get that he did officially transfer, but I feel Mooy can’t really be classed with those other moves given he played for Huddersfield last season.

Goddammit Brad Guzan.

[Rockstar Matt 1,204]

I don't know how he stops that, to be honest. That was simply a good shot with some absolutely shoddy defending. I can't really fault Guzan there when his back-line is giving up runs left and right.

 

How did we become so bad in this cycle? How have we regressed so much from the 2014 cycle? The US, honestly, looked effing terrible in the first half.

Fair enough. The goal was on the defense more than him. But if you gave me a must-win game and told me Brad Guzan was my keeper, I'd know I was finished before I started.

 

It might be time to try about guys like Sean Johnson and Stefan Frei in games like these (or maybe the Gold Cup). Howard and Guzan might have lost it. Neither should be at the World Cup if the US makes it.

they didnt blow it, but

 

 

im honestly scared that the US will not qualify for the world cup

[ninersdd 524]

Argentina is in trouble to qualify directly; tying last place Venezuela at home.

With the WC being in Russia where Americans could be unsafe I half don't blame them

Tottenham gets theirs UEFA campaign started right in the Group of Death, beating Dortmund 3-1.

Ancelotti sacked after Bayern lost 3-0 to PSG without Manuel Neuer and Jerome Boateng.

 

What the hell is Bayern doing?

As I tweet I saw afterwards so perfectly describe, it's amazing how all Ancelotti does is win and yet he can only hold a job for a couple of years at a time.

Altidore just scored a Panenka penalty to make it 3-0 USMNT ?

[DG_Now 10,251]

beIN Sports WTF.  No one has this channel.

[DG_Now 10,251]

What will it take to permanently remove Omar Gonzalez from USMNT?

[Rockstar Matt 1,204]

Wow, that was an amazing goal. 

[BlackBolt3 1,377]

[Rockstar Matt 1,204]

Pulisic really is the GOAT, isn't he? Holy s***, what a goal.

[HedleyLamarr 1,393]

USMNT is soiling their shorts in T&T, Honduras is leading vs. Mexico, and Panama is tied Costa Rica.  If Panama and Honduras win and the US loses, no World Cup.
