An awful result to be honest. In all likelihood after Friday England will have 6 points, Wales 4, and US 1. And then next week the British tossers will play to a neighborly draw to get USMNT eliminated no matter how many goals we score against the ayatollahs
Bale fouled with his back to the net at the back of the box. Terrible foul--even if he had all ball. Where were the red or yellow cards on the hard fouls, one with two hands, on Pulisic. The US is the most skilled with the ball of any US team we've seen. They are very good at passing in very little space and holding, also very good at winning possession, but terrible at set plays and in creating anything in the box. Pulisic was very good but could not provide a really good center where anyone could do anything with it, just those curving balls to the side of the box. They had many occasions where they were in the box but couldn't even get a shot. They need still to learn how to manufacture goals the way all the European teams do, be in the right spot for headers and follows on crosses, better set plays, etc. Still, the future is as bright as it's ever been for the USMNT, with so many 24 or younger. Next cup in four years should give us a decent shot at the semis (and a very good shot at the quarters) for the first time since 1950.
Once you go to the prevent style defense, it's just a matter of time. They weren't going to go 30 minutes of Welsh opportunities without success, and they could have lost it.
There is no way the USA is going through now. England will win 4-1 or 5-1, and Wales should beat Iran.
Then the USA would have to beat Iran, who will be pumped up to defeat the Great Satan. But it wont matter anyway as Wales will only need a point, and England will be happy to play for the draw (despite the Welsh players celebrating when England got knocked out by Iceland in the Euros a few years ago).
I’m sure this will be as accurate as your USA/Wales prediction.
Remember when I claimed 6 years ago, when no non-African had won a Diamond League middle-distance race, and it looked like no white European would ever win an Olympic or World Chpionship gold again, that if there was better testing in Africa, Britain and Europe would be competing and winning again?
“Some day a Euro will stop underperforming and win something!”
If that’s your saving grace on a soccer thread where you’ve been woefully wrong 3 for 3, you are proving my point. Listen to people who actually know sport.

I thought Britain is part of Europe?
It looked like that? Maybe for you, but not for most of the fans. Three Olympic 800m Golds in a row for white Europeans.

remember when you used to go off on rants about black dildos? Weird stuff......
You could almost forgive him if it was a throwaway prediction on an unrelated thread. He’s known to do that.
But it wasn’t. It was a thread he started and botched. Then followed up with more failures.
He’s got no credibility. He’s the butt of jokes.
You've got no sense of humor. It was a fun thread poking at the Americans who make up the vast majority here. Pretty sure the betting odds before the Wales USA game had favored Wales to win by a couple of goals or more.
