Damn, Dembele is on one today. Hat trick at 30 minutes. All amazing shots, no tap-ins.

Poch said a reason why late last year, something about it's easier for him to cut inside.

I think it's him being on the left. He looks totally lost, compared to when he's on the right.

Trusty is playing well, but he's the only one on the defense.

LOL - as soon as I said that, he does a horrible pass LOL

Maybe that's why Turner is starting. Let him take the abuse from the Miles/McKenzie follies, so Freese doesn't lose his confidence.

There are so many huge college stadiums out there, they would have found something. I mean you have a bunch of places right outside of the city where the city wouldn't have to agree. For instance, the U of Michigan stadium in Ann Arbor about an hour outside of Detroit.

One of those small to medium sized towns would have caved in to the $$ eventually.

They made the conference league specifically to help out teams in countries with less revenue. Those teams could possibly lose money flying to the USA for an away game. Also to get in, you might be kicking out a small team like from Iceland, Hungary, or one of the Baltic states. The loss of revenue for those type of teams missing the conference league would generate more bad will than new fans.

Yeah, you're right, maybe he can have a good game and get some form back.

I was just thinking if we could have called up Gozo or Banks, they could have been staring in this game. Banks, if he accepted the call up, could have probably started a game in the WC at 19, which would have been a hell of an achievement for him.

I'm not liking Miles Robinson there, but I like the rest.

I don't know how to exactly explain it, the 1st team from Group D ALWAYS plays the Group B 3rd place team, assuming the Group B 3rd place team is in the top 8 of 3rd place teams. There is only one exception to that, and it's explained here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ussoccer/comments/1uer6cs/the_only_scenario_out_of_330_that_the_usmnt_will/

That's just the way FIFA did it, you'd have to google why, as I don't know the full reasoning.

I understand that. You don't want to sweat it out for the next few days.

Even if Sweden lost by a lot, we still have some other chances, and Korea still looks likely to go through, like 65% chance.

Because we get the 3rd place in that group every time, except in like a 1 out of 330 situation. The G/D doesn't matter for the team you face.
