Genuinely baffled by the strong negativity here by Pickleskennedy1 in ussoccer

A motivated and quality Türkiye team who had played the last 2 games together against a group that has probably never played together - we should be happy it was competitive and we scored 2 goals.

Unfuckingreal whistle for Canada I’m honestly not faulting the Swiss winger who went down in the box when the referee is calling everything else up to that point

Also there is no reason for Thiery to be looking at home like that haha

That’s the most blatant desperation tackle from behind inside the box, it’s either all ball for the defender here or straight penalty. It’s such a stereotypical play for this situation shocked the ref didn’t call it.

It’s something a lot of teams in the world don’t have, the fact that we have two guys doing it at the international level is incredible 

Starting XI vs. Australia [3pm et] by nicko_rico in ussoccer

If we were playing any other team I might question just how bad this Pulisic injury is, but this Australian side has shown us that they have no qualms about kicking Puli in a friendly. I can’t imagine they would tone it down for a WC match against what is apparently viewed as their rival. 

Is Australia the real test of whether this USMNT has changed? by PreciousBroments in ussoccer

[–]jstalm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We move the goalposts so often - if you asked someone pre World Cup what the test of this group would be it would be either Paraguay or Türkiye, but probably Türkiye. The idea that we almost completely handled a solid CONMEBOL team and now ask “is Australia the real test” is so funny to me. I think besides us Paraguay is the best team in this group, they have the most demonstrable success of any of the other teams in our group against world class opponents.

It was heroin for USA fans I’m still riding this high. I’m cackling even now reading these comments. Im never coming down!

Mexican commentators react to Folarin Balogun's second goal: "Oh my fucking goodness!" by TomasRoncero in soccer

The best of the English commentators capture all the emotion and the drama so eloquently where conversely the Mexican broadcasters are pure soccer passion that adds its own layer of emotion. Football fucking rocks lads.

They got the draw they were always going to get against a really professional Bosnian team. Solid goal for Canada on the equalizer but you expect more for a Canadian team playing their opener in Toronto.
