OT: 2022 World Cup Thread
- Thread starter cshelley
- Start date
I suggest holding off on criticizing the USA coaching until group play has concluded. The schedule is compressed + there was literally no break for players from club play. Load management is important in this tourney.
Germany looked good but their uniform tops did not. Those look hideous...
Can you imagine getting arrested for criticizing the USMNT? I am thankful to be an American.
My Lord dude get a grip. Go back and watch the comments, listen to their tone and oook at their expressions, while discussing the comments from both GB (aka the “moron”) and Reyna re: not putting him in. Jesus. They were clearly both miffed AND unhappy (as was Gio).

LOL no we can’t be critical of the guy responsible for out USMNT? Yeah, sorry, he makes good money to make good decisions. Criticism is comes with the territory from Game 1. Just as accolades when warranted (actually thought the he did a very good job with the roster, starting 11 and 1st half of G1).
The comment earlier in this thread about European and South American fans not taking over stadiums REALLY isn’t aging well.
Seems surprising but remembering how the people reacted after that devastating tsunami years ago I suppose it isn’t.
They’re very well known for doing this. Great stuff.
Nice to see and we could stand to see more of it in the world.
OTOH, we could definitely stand to see less of the sorts of pathetic comments ”people” made in response to the article at the website. Gotta take the bad with the good, I guess.
Figures you, of all people, would reply!
It’s despicable that countries are participating in this
Slave labor, squalid conditions not fit for humans and thousands dying from construction accidents - buy hey, they were able to buy off the most corrupt organization on the planet (FIFA) and all the new stadiums and fake cities look oh so pretty, so let's just ignore those inconvenient facts. But none of this is on the players, so I'll watch.
Spare us your crocodile tears for the "gays." Most have seen enough of your homophobic posts on the CE board to know better.Figures you, of all people, would reply!

That a lie Mr PornHub , but we know you’re
a homophobePlus you’re too cheap to see the CE Board.
Just watched Portugal-Ghana. Nice win by Portugal, 3-2, but Costa, the Portugal keeper, almost made the biggest blunder in the history of the World Cup (maybe - it would've been up there) by putting the ball down and not realizing there was a Ghana player behind him and he stole the ball and if he hadn't slipped, he would've tied the game up in the last minute of stoppage time.
Oh well so much for that
edit: result keeps getting worse they got another goal...helps eat into their GD problem from the England game.
Iran deserved the win, played much better than Wales. Will not be an easy final match for the USA.
2-0 Iran beats Wales
2-0 Iran beats Wales
This result changes the dynamics of the group significantly. Getting a draw today is now irrelevant for the US. The objective is now to win. The absolute must is to stay close.
Losing by one or even two is probably acceptable. Creates a must win situation against Iran - but that match is now a must win even with a draw today.

GD with England is important if we don't tie or win.
edit: GD doesn't really matter with England. For some reason was thinking US had 0 points instead of 1. Just need to get a win against Iran and we'd have 4 points to their 3.

That’s what I thought too . The wales tie is looking worse . Maybe the team surprises us today and gets a draw or even better.
Yep. Losing by two is acceptable, especially if we can score a goal or two while doing so. Losing by three or more is a problem.
