Yep. That midfield is garbage as hell. Two ball winners and rooney. Against a competent side that trio will get shredded to tiny bits. Wales literally left Dier unmarked and dared him to pass which he did and it was awful.

They just piled forward with barely a game plan.

Wales were shit and definitely didn't deserve a point. England did alright, I'd say. Walker was excellent as always.

I'm still not sold on this midfield shape, though. Would prefer someone alongside dier (Wilshire or Henderson) and a proper 10 in front of them.

Did Sturridge do his dance?

That was a nasty, vicious tackle by Valencia. Glad the US team stood up to him but kind of need Jermaine Jones. That will be a huge loss.

O love how Bedoya was so annoying with his relentless pressure he caused Valencia to snap.

The cards suck becuase him Jones and wood have all been important but soccer is a funny game, they could throw Nagbe or Pulisic out there and beckerman could have the game of his life. It doesn't really matter what happens against Arg anyway

Pogba and Payet are looking the goods for France. I feel they may hit their stride in the next game and be quite a force in this competition.

Why the hell is Chris Wondoloski even on a US roster much less starting... He adds nothing, he brings....nothing. Standard clumsy bullshit from the US when playing against actually great players.

Your guys are toying with us. This is quite possibly the worst half I've ever seen from a USMNT. That Messi shot though...

Hopefully we can manage a few shots on goal in the second half and keep it at 2-0. Die like men at least.

I really hope the final is Argentina vs. Colombia so I can be stoked whoever wins.

My girlfriend is American and she's already mad at me

I have tickets to the game tomorrow but its looking increasingly likely everyone will die in a flood/tornado weather wise.
