World Cup 2022

[Ello Sailor]

Fuckin' thing sucks.

[Coach]

oh man down 1-0

[epilogue]

Oh boy...

[Ello Sailor]

[Ello Sailor]

Never mind.

[epilogue]

Being a Patrick Mahomes fan means believing your never fully out of it. But that 3rd NED goal kinda feels like the game.

[JuanHamm]

Not enough urgency from the USA. Just get the ball in the fucking box!

[Ello Sailor]

The Dutch have just been better. Some ludicrously skilled dudes standing in their way.

[VinylGuy]

This Netherlands are weak but USA doesn’t seem to know how to score. It’s a shame, I think this is the best USA team I saw.

[JuanHamm]

I don't know the USA squad all that well, but it seems like they desperately need a proper striker

[Coach]

Hopefully all the players lost some weight with all that running around.

[VinylGuy]

Their diet is all carbs so not sure

[Coach]

carbs will do that, but playing in a trash bag and then vomiting after could help the weight come off.

[Monkey_Driven]

I know very little about soccer, but doesn't it seem kind of important to have a competent striker? Was someone injured or does the entire country lack a player with that skill set?

the US coach was criticized for not calling a couple of the strikers that they used in qualifying onto the WC team

but they are not world class either

everyone wants a premier striker but few have them

US so disappointing though bc this is the same narrative the last 30 years

‘we are a young team’
‘good for the development of soccer in the US’
‘another stepping stone for the program’

three decades straight

we should be grown-ups by now

that said, round of 16 is about the best you should expect from an average team

and the US is that

frustrating though because they are capable of more

did not play with attacking urgency

that falls on the coach
