Random unbelievable pre match state

America are unbeaten against England at World Cups.

 

[Joe Mac]

Considering how England played against Iran, and the confidence they should have, they’ve looked way off the pace so far.

Unless they’re playing the dangerous game of letting America blow their load early, like against Wales, and look to exploit any tiredness later on.

That's the best half I've seen the US play in forever. England need to pick up the pace.

 

[Joe Mac]

Wow! England are poor tonight. I know Mount is playing but you’d be forgiven if you thought he wasn’t…

 

[Englishbob]

Man, we're getting pummeled.

 

[Joe Mac]

How has Foden not replaced Mount yet. He’s been really ineffective tonight.

 

[LiamGallaghersBucketHat]

How about that Doritos commercial tho

Whilst I think Foden would be better than Mount I'd love to see Madison in the 10 role.

I thought he would have been effective in the second half.

I will absolutely take that tie. Best the U.S has played in a while even if it was a tie. Don’t shit the bed against Iran now.

Whilst I think Foden would be better than Mount I'd love to see Madison in the 10 role.

Honestly I think Foden is potentially the most talented player I’ve seen come out of England in a generation. I like Maddison and he’s definitely got the talent to make a difference, especially from the dead ball, but I don’t think he’s in the same class.

Tuesday’s game will be a draw…lulz

Probably. That’d be the American soccer thing to do.

Here’s the commercial

Probably. That’d be the American soccer thing to do.

I’m only guessing based on the previous games. Although I feel like Sargent and Aaronson are better starters.

Horses for courses sometimes though. McKennie was the best player on the park today.

Left Turner on the bench for the ol reverse curse!

Don't get me wrong, I'd take Foden over Sterling in particular and probably Saka too. And long term he's definitely a generational talent but in the 10 right now and based on form I'd take Madison.

I don’t think reverse curse works if it’s a conscious decision? It needs to be incidental surely? Otherwise you’d just keep trying to fuck up…

As far as the u.s. go, I wish Tyler Adams was English. Love that kid.
