Freddie's Dead Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 US nil nil against ENG? Take that and run away. With IRN beating WAL, after a brutal foul earned the WAL goalie a red card, all the US needs to advance is a win against IRN. If they play the way they did against ENG, they're on to the knockout round. If they play the way they did against WAL, enjoy the flight home, boys. WRT Qatar, the amount of human misery and death visited on the thousands of slave laborers is a crime against humanity. One of the richest countries in the world couldn't build the WC venues without the unconscionable exploitation of human labor. Just disgusting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's us that allows this "sports washing" to take place. Maybe people shouldn't be following this? Why are countries agreeing to send their teams there? Heck, why did they even pick Qatar🇶🇦 (we know the reason)... Because we are fools. Look no deeper than ourselves for giving this event the light of day, attention. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is they've been so self-righteous about the rest of the world coming to the country, bringing their booze and sinful character. Meanwhile, right under their noses, people dying of slave labor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Didn't watch a ton of soccer over the weekend. Family stuff the first few days and then NFL football took precedence on Sunday. Now that the work week has begun, it's back to World Cup at work! Brazil approaching half time and still no goals against the stingy Swiss defense.

I think the rule used to be that the player had to be completely past the defender for offside. And I think the rule was changed to "any part" of the player needs to be past the defender. That's why we're seeing so many more close offside calls. 13 minutes ago, Big Turk said: It Won't! Now they have the be careful they don't allow one bad counter attack and a goal to Iran. Iran looks to be MLS quality. US has to keep up the pressure, like they're still tied. At this point, if US ties or loses it will be a serious disappointment.

Big Turk Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 The USA's problem is that other than Pulisic they don't have a player that can take a defender one on one heading into the opponent 18 yard box to create chances on goal. They have to try and pass the ball to people getting open, which can work, it's just far harder to do than simply taking a guy one on one and getting open for a shot on goal. The USA is an athletic mismatch for Iran...they are just running circles around them and making them look silly and giving them no time to do anything once they have the ball.
