Going to come down to who beats Iran by the most goals. Wales or US Never a fan of Gregg, his subs and gameplan make no sense. Where was Reyna and could have used a ST but Pepi wasn't on the team. US has so many crosses into the box but no real striker to finish. I also thought Pulisic was dog crap. His crosses into the box and crosses with set plays were bad.

Might as well just shoot the ball at the Goal.
November 21, 20223 yr Gregg brings in MLS players over Gio Reyna, and starts a striker who hasnt scored for the USMNT since 2018. USSF fraud. We'll be very very lucky to beat Iran. Our players will be worn out by Greggs MLS ball and we'll have a ton of pressure on us.
November 21, 20223 yr Pulisic was indeed trash today for about 75 min. He just gets in his head with the USMNT

November 22, 20223 yr Author Not bringing Pepi was moronic. If nothing else, get the kid some World Cup experience for 2026. He’s clearly the most natural finisher available and the one guy who can be expected to score a decent amount of half chances.
November 22, 20223 yr Saudis with the big upset, a retroactive VAR foul after a blatant handball in Tunisia's own box, Lewa failing to convert a PK

Fire that bum

November 23, 20223 yr I haven't watched any soccer since about 1979. Back then, a local newspaper (The Prince Georges Journal), used to have a contest where they'd take a photo of a soccer game in action. They'd then erase the ball from the picture. You had to place an X where you thought the ball was. If you placed the X in the correct location, you'd win free Dips (Washington Diplomats) tickets. My brothers, friends and I would always enter the contest and won a bunch of tickets. Back then though, I think it was more important to most of us that we got our names in the paper as winners, than getting the actual tickets. I do remember getting to see Pelé play (if I'm remembering correctly), and at the time he was one of the more famous soccer players in the world (again, if I'm remembering right).

His last season with the Cosmos was in '77 and looks like their last game of the year was against the Diplomats in DC where Pele scored but the Cosmos ultimately lost to Washington. August 6, 1977 Washington Diplomats A 2-1 31,283 Pelé https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1977_New_York_Cosmos_season

We did the 'Place the Ball contest for 3 or 4 years before that ended. Maybe when the Dips folded (or whatever happened to them). That game may actually be my main memory of going to those games. I was in a box seat with my brother and a friend and a bunch of other fans, and I remember when the Dips scored what I guess was the winning goal, everyone roared with excitement and was hugging everyone (as if they'd just won the championship). I can't swear that this is the same game that I'm remembering, since I was only 8 years old at that time, but I think it was the Pele game. The only player from the Diplomats that I remember, is Sonny Askew. It was SOOO long ago that most of the details are now gone from my memory, but I remember my best friend and his father making a really big deal about Pele (they were Portuguese and LOVED soccer). That's probably the only reason that it sticks in my mind.

At least during the spring and summer, since there was no baseball other than in Baltimore. The video below mentions another player that I remember seeing play from back then, Johan Cruyff.

Cruyff was another legend, best known for a soccer move named after him, where you flick your foot on top of the ball to drag it back when needing to turn your dribble.
