Trying hard to learn to like soccer watching this game.
First of all you can't have American football in mind as our football is way more action oriented, fast, and exciting.
Soccer is more like baseball. Slow long periods of not much then a few nail biting seconds of pure terror.

Yep. They got impatient and started playing more direct, bypassing Trippier and Shaw. And we did a better job overloading the MF with Weah or Pulisic coming central. McKinnie has been a beast too.
Still think Wright needs to be subbed. This is a game made for Ferreira.
I love American football, but it takes 4 hours to play and 3 hours and 40 minutes of it is dudes standing around.
As opposed to 90 minutes of light jogging and pretending to be hurt?
Two breaks from Pulisic and Wright is just jogging. Get him the f*ck off the field.
That's a border RC from Shaw. FFS ref.

Whoever that guy was on the USA team that hit that laser off the top bar in the first half... get him the ball.
Wright needs to come off. We're creating opportunities and he's nowhere in the box. FFS he's been a spectator all game.
FFS that's the dumbest way to end the game on a set piece. Berhalter is unimaginably dumb.
Wonderful audition to introduce soccer to the American masses... a nil nil tie with England.
How do you not send it in the box?
At what point do teams try to win games or rather when does a team win?
If we tie Iran do we advance to the tying everyone gets a trophy bracket?
Definitely smart to play conservative. They only need a tie with Wales to advance.
I know absolutely nothing about soccer at all. I am trying to be patriotic and learn the game since the rest of the world seems enthralled about it, but how every single game doesn't end in a tie escapes me. Why can't you just have your entire team surround the ball, then have one guy in the middle of that circle dribble around until time runs out?
No possession arrows or time limits on how long one player can have the ball, right?
Seems to me like the field should be smaller by half.
Grealish admittedly has been good for England, so usually gets the nod from Southgate.
Its a bizarre game and only speaks to the sad state of the world this is the most popular game. Watching soccer alone should make us all proud to be Americans with all the sports options we have here.
Americans best athletes don't play soccer and if they did we would dominate this tournament. As it is, we have 0 shot to ever win it with our F team of athletes representing the country.
Win or go home. It’s not gonna be easy to win. We have no finishers and 7 corners this game and not a chance off any of them.
US has got to get a forward that can finish. I thought the US dominated the midfield and their defenders were solid. Although the guy who gave up the penalty against Wales damn near **** the bed in the last few minutes with a horrific turnover. The US could have easily came out with 3 points there.
Sick of these English women put carli Lloyd back on there’s these English women are awful. Been that way since the beginning of this WC
