A borderline useless tie at that. Team deserves a better coach
Bad news for Gioā¦ none of the US players that were on a yellow card got one in this gameā¦ I suspect Berhalter will use the same starting 11 on Tuesday.
Not ideal mentality
Grealish definitely a duke fan
Iran is definitely going to bunker down and play for the tie. This US team needs to figure out how to frigging score.
Heās a phenomenal player thoughā¦ I really wanted Fulham to sign him when Aston Villa sold him, but no one beats Man City on a transfer fee.
I like him off the bench after Weah runs around for 60 minutes. Get him against tired legs or a backup. Especially against a team like Iran that lacks depth. But he needs to come on at the 60 minute mark so he has time to do something. Not with no time left just so the coach doesnāt get questioned in the presser.
Thatās an amazing result, yet somehow means nothing at the same time. Ugh.
England 4 (+4)
Iran 3 (-2)
USA 2 (0)
Wales 1 (-2)
Goal differential now only matters to England, Wales and Iran
Scenario: Wales wins by less than 4 goals and Iran ties
All of England, Wales and Iran finish with 4 points and USA finishes with 3 points
England and Wales advance on goal differential. Any shenanigans between the 2? No because if Iran wins they would win the groupā¦
Only way now for USA to advance is to win ā¦ but Iran would not advance with a tie if Wales win.
If England and Wales tie, and the US wins by 4+, the US can take first place from England. Or if England loses and the US wins.
I can agree with that but Reyna has to come on earlier as you note. If they stick with that 442, I wouldnāt mind them looking at Pulisic and Weah up top, with Weah being the true 9 and Pulisic being freed up to roam across the field, and bring Aaronson (or Reyna) into the starting line-up where Pulisic played today.
Spain Germany ā¦ intense ā¦
Spain now in Drivers seat
Thought Deutschland was going to pull that one out in the endā¦
Anyone want to buy a Gio jersey, barely used? I donāt mean mine, I mean his.
Fun fact about jerseys at International tournamentsā¦ most countries give each player 3x tops for each match in order to trade with the other teamās players.
Man dont get me started
Does anyone else think Ronaldo didnāt touch that ball on the goal? Maybe a few hair folliclesā¦ maybeā¦
Edit: They just took the goal away from Ronaldo and gave credit to Bruno-Fernandesā¦
Aprovechando!!!
In portugues: Aproveitando, but yes hahahahha
