How the USMNT is preparing for the World Cup
The USMNT has a week between landing in Qatar and its World Cup opener. With so little time, are players ready for the biggest games of their lives?

Yes, he is a world class player even in the back end of his career. He still has thunder in his left boot. Any team that gets out of Euro qualifying can give the US trouble. Ukraine was no joke and they got by them under pressure. The US needs to get a minimum of a point here, but 3 would be really set the tone. Getting 0 here makes it nearly impossible to get out of the group.
Ask Jack Elliott of the Philadelphia Union.
I'm not planning on doing so, as I'm pretty busy these days. But anyone, including you, is free to set it up. If you (or anyone else) does so, post about it in a new post.

USMNT vs Wales: First World Cup game historically huge for USA - Sports Illustrated
The U.S. has waited eight years to return to this stage, while for Wales it’s been 64. Either way, motivation and urgency are not in short supply.

PSU dominating the play early. The 1st 10 minutes of the match were pretty much played in Wales half. Sargent just missed a header (I think it hit the outside of the post).
A very weak yellow card issued to Dest for a challenge along the sideline. (The foul was called, which was appropriate. The yellow card was not warranted, IMHO.)
And now McKennie gets a yellow. That was closer to being legit, but still a weak situation to warrant a yellow. So the US dominates the play, and receives 2 yellow cards in the 1st 12 minutes of the match. smh

Bale from Wales with a yellow for a tackle from behind. The first legitimate yellow in the match, IMHO
Another yellow to Wales in stoppage time. It was legit, as he pulled down Pulisic once he was beaten.
Another yellow to a USA player. And another situation that was iffy. A foul was called and was definitely warranted.
Wow, an obvious corner for Wales and the ref calls it a throw-in. It's not reviewable. Wales got screwed on the (incorrect) call.
