OT: 2022 World Cup Thread

[RUforJERSEY]

I've never really played soccer but if I was the goalie I think I could have saved some of the shots the US team has taken. They were right at the goalie on the ground. And without a lot on them.

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

We don’t even get any contact or attempt at the ball with almost all the services into the box.

 

[MadRU]

Pulisic caught on the ball, has to be more aware.

 

[mildone_rivals]

If Robinson has to exit, we’re done. We have nobody to replace him, not even close.

 

[krup]

The USM 1994 team was better. Where has the past 28 years gone?

The 1994 team is as maybe the 3rd best ever. 2002 should be used as the standard.

 

[knightru]

Everything has to be 2 or 3 touch. The longer we sit, the better for the Dutch. They want lack of movement.

Also, we have to switch to 3 at the back.

 

[mildone_rivals]

He’s okay, good.

 

[Roy_Faulker]

Yeah - US is tired.

More Wright??? WTF.

 

[kupuna133]

I’m sorry but the faking contact and injury has to be reigned in. Netherlands player goes from rolling on the ground in pain 70 yards behind the action while the US is countering to limping to get back onside to sprinting to run the ball down from behind when US counter attacks.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Also, we have to switch to 3 at the back.

Why? We send our winger defenders forward in every attack.

 

[RU848789]

We really could use a tall holdup striker like a lukaku...LeBron maybe...

Pulisic came back on D nicely the last few times...

Aaronson with immediate energy...

 

[Roy_Faulker]

Reyna just changes the attack cause he can handle and his off ball movement is incredible.

 

[Roy_Faulker]

And - the Netherlands is really good.

 

[leftoright]

aronson loosing every ball

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

Nice saves

 

[RU848789]

amazing saves by turner!

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Now those were some tough saves by the US goalie. The Netherlands goaltender hasn't had to make any saves like the ones he's made have been like routine ground balls to shortstop.

 

[krup]

I don’t get Weah coming out, he was the only one that didn’t looked gassed.

 

[zappaa]

We have a great goalie to watch or the next 10 years

 

[RU848789]

terrible by Wright

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

What a lousy first touch

 

[mildone_rivals]

I don’t get Weah coming out, he was the only one that didn’t looked gassed.

I would’ve subbed for Puli. But the flip side is Weah has looked exhausted by the 61st minute of every game so far. So… tough choice.

 

[Vejai]

Ugh

 

[MadRU]

2-1

 

[Vejai]

Yes!!!!

 

[RU848789]

Goal!

 

[NickRU714]

Wow

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

oh my goodness, I think that was just a lucky bounce off the foot but who cares lol

 

[Roy_Faulker]

Wow

His poor touch and miss was Zardes bad - but I’ll take the goal for sure lol.

 

[mildone_rivals]

I was about to say “we’re screwed” with Yedlin coming on. And he’s the architect of that goal.

Gonna stick to my guns and say he’s gonna be a problem on D. Hope I’m even more wrong.

 

[MadRU]

Inches from a tie

 

[mildone_rivals]

That pass was too late. Damn.

 

[koleszar]

Should've kicked the goalie in the face. when he slid like that.

 

[RU848789]

game on folks

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

Well whatever happens at least the 10-15 mins will have some excitement

 

[mildone_rivals]

Should've kicked the goalie in the face. when he slid like that.

And gotten a red card and played the rest of the match down a man?

 

[RU848789]

Should've kicked the goalie in the face. when he slid like that.

why would you even say that?

 

[Roy_Faulker]

The switch - dammit Reyna should have started.

 

[Mr Magoo_rivals90743]

Reyna should have played this whole tournament

 

[koleszar]

Well that's , that, we suck again.
