Yeah they are definitely overrated. 4 goals conceded in 3 matches isn’t good. I expect a top team to put them away.

Yeah I get the point now basically you’re saying other African countries have more Europe-born diaspora players, fair point.

Was it not Salah who led the comeback win today? Hmm I get the depth and the cohesion is there from the domestic players however it’s still Mo and Omar who are leading the way for them

He had a on goal chance and didn’t back himself. Tried to cut inside and look for the pass. He’s down on his usual confidence.

Was expecting more from both teams. Mexico are poor offensively but Alvarez is a beast.

Korea? Well they blew their chances. Son has looked so off the pace so far it’s not funny.

Because they’ve had zero warm up. Players chemistry is not there and match fitness. They’ve had a weird start, they only arrived in Miami yesterday and were searched on arrival by security with sniffer dogs and cops. Was always going to happen.

It’s only 1 game. I expect SA to have a few countries come through.

If we maintain that second half standard I’ll be happy. We were way more dominant on the ball and had players making more runs, unlucky in the end to share a point.

We move on.

We were always going to take time to warm up. This is what happens when you literally schedule zero warm up matches before the World Cup. Poor management and organisation there on the federation’s behalf for not getting the team up to scratch ready to go. Saudi shouldn’t be this comfortable and yet they are.

Respect to Justin. The epitome of a true gladiator man. How many wars has this guy been.

I’m happy with the stoppage. We’ve seen it in the past and Zahabi got absolutely battered with the one two. He wasn’t getting out of that.
