Digby Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I was really pulling for Germany to pull off the surprise at the end there, mostly just because then we'd have a group with everyone on 3 points headed into the third match. Alas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup_squads#Player_representation_by_league_system Interesting link. Would not have expected MLS to be the sixth-most represented league, or that 3/4 of MLS players would play for someone besides the US (I imagine Canada makes up a lot of that extra, though). Would've guessed that a few more European leagues would be higher than MLS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've guessed that a few more European leagues would be higher than MLS. 41% (11) of the non US players are Canadian, so 16 for everyone else. That's 8th, behind the Big 5 plus Belgium and Turkey, which isn't half bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrySmalls Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Judgement Day is here for the USMNT! All they need to do is win to advance. Hope they can pull it off to make up for the 1998 match against Iran. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me of that kid that stands behind the school bully telling everyone how great that guy is. It's pretty weird. He's been attached to his backside since Ronaldo agreed to that interview. Group A Netherlands is wearing their light orange kits and Qatar are in white, I'm still able to tell them apart of the TV, but I'm surprised they didn't have them both wear alternates instead of Qatar only. Senegal and Ecuador both wearing primaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they can pull it off to make up for the 1998 match against Iran. I'm hoping so as well just to shut up the Iranian fans who complained about the flag in that social media post. Now that Group A is done, the Americans still have to do their part and beat Iran... but after they win (hopefully), their Round of 16 date depends on how England-Wales goes. If Wales wins, the Americans win the group and get Senegal on Sunday. If England wins or the game ends in a draw, then the Americans get the Netherlands on Saturday.

I'm wearing my Ted Lasso "BELIEVE" socks today, because I feel if we lose this game it will feel worse than the FA Cup episode vs Man City. But if we win it'll be better than the end of Season 2.

Digby Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 CCV and Ream starting as the CBs, hell of a time for an untested pairing. Hope the hard anti-MLS crowd is correct today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the card to Tyler Adams he's been pretty consistent. Most refs let you get away with that a man down unless you run straight through him. England could have scored a minute ago, but Luke Shaw kept getting in everyone's way. Someone should remind him he's a defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those 3D animations with no useful information should be interesting, Now we'll see Iran have to step out some more, something they didn't want to have to do. If Wales scores they'll have to go for the win instead of a loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
