Better team so far, your boys.

Should be ahead.

Both teams have had their chances, could easily be 1-0 either way. Best chance so far was that rocket from Pulisic that rattled the crossbar.

Nah, miles quicker all over the pitch

Starting to look gassed, need to get subs in

Not much difference between a one goal loss and a draw so might as well press high and try to force a mistake

I'll take a draw now 

Your boys let us off the hook there.

Good luck against Iran 👏👏

Shaq Moore should not see the field again. Keep Dest in

Players bailing out Berhalter again.  No reason to play a striker vs. england and leave more talented players on the bench.

Pulisic has been god awful.  God awful.  

That said, a tie is perfectly acceptable.  Now we have to beat Iran, thats not going to be as easy as it sounds.  

Anything less than a 2 goal lead heading into the last 30 min against Iran is gonna make for a very anxious ending to the last group stage game.

He was fine aside from that decision on that final free kick.

There was basically no difference between a tie and a one goal loss. Either way we'd need to beat Iran to get through. 

I can 100% live with this result. Would like to see some goals against Iran though. At least 2, please.

Don't get any ideas, Toty

No reason to play a ST. Play Renya or Aaronson

I really wanna get into this more I just can’t get over how dramatic and pussified all these dudes are 

For the time being, try not to focus on that aspect of soccer. It does suck though. 

Look more at how only so few countries get to participate every 4 years in the World Cup. In a way, it brings some of the world together in just one place, for a sport. Cool, IMO.

Also, seeing a match live in person is frickin awesome.

I get it - I love soccer - played it all my life.  I still they’re all a bunch of pansies

Why post if you think it sucks because it's a sport where players actually have creativity on and off the ball. Football just follow plays written by the coaches.

Hes lost so many easy balls Ive lost count, hes pressing too much.  Hes had a bad tournament so far IMO.

 

And yes, I understand mathematically that game became a waste of time.  But it would be nice to see the ball go into the net and a loss would have been crushing there.

Looked like the coach told him to do that.

I don't recall him losing the ball more than once or twice today. He also had the best shot of anyone else on the pitch by far. You sure we watched the same game?

They are, its been out of control for a long time and especially in big matches where everyone is nervous. Any time a ball goes into the box everyone just falls down.

Feel like Dest has had a good tournament so far and our CDM, Tyler Adams. Would like to see Aaronson over Weah on Tuesday 

Have to beat Iran to advance.  May not be incredibly easy, but that’s a pretty good scenario.

Hes playing sped up and trying to do too much.  There's a reason Adams is our captain and not him.

 He was better than vs Wales, though.
