What's with the prevent defense? They were controlling possession.

Gave me a heart attack with the passive play in the last 10 minutes plus stoppage. Dana Dimel strategy in play
Undefeated in group play! And it was not an easy group (all four teams in the top 20).
Iran is a top 20 team, wow if I was asked to name the top 20 countries in soccer I would never think of Iran.
Congratulations to the United States of North America for the WIN vs Iran. As for pesky Mexico not everything is lost because they still need to loose to Saudi Arabia tomorrow to close World Cup play and return home.
That’s typical Berhalter ball. Just like against Wales. A 1-0 Berhalter lead is never safe. We almost gave this one away.
But, a win is a win. Gotta be happy about that.
I wasn't doubting you, by the way, has Gio Reyna died on the bench? His picture is on a milk carton at this point.
Perplexing our most creative striker has played all of 11 minutes this WC.
Agree, but it doesn't give me much confidence going forward. Let's hope that by 2026 we have found a striker that can actually score goals and keep opponents on their heels. That way we don't have to keep sitting back on 1-0 leads or be dead in the water when down.
I think the info in the link down below is closer to the real reason. If Berhalter believed Reyna wasn’t fit, he’d have gone with Pepi or Pefok or even Arriola. No way Berhalter would waste a spot. Oh wait…that’s exactly what he’s doing anyway.
I guess I wasn’t all that shocked. Pepi has 12 caps with the usmnt. He has 3 goals. All three scored in his first two games. He went 10 games without putting the ball in the net.
He doesn’t seem to be able to create for himself or others. Where he seems to thrive, we seem to lack a guy who can get him the ball in front of goal. Because from what I’ve seen, he probably is the best finisher on the usmnt.
The winner of 1C vs 2D. It’s still so up in the air. So Poland, Argentina or Saudi Arabia from group C or Australia, Denmark or still mathematically alive, Tunisia from group D. France will win D so we would avoid them.
The plane home.
The metric system can’t measure freedom! 🇺🇸
Virgil van Dijk can take his TJ Houshmanzadeh-lookin’ ass back to some windmill!
Reyna has talent but my god, the dude plays part-time like Kawhi!

You mean back to Liverpool 🤣😂
I hope he has a crap day against us
Best attacking from Mexico all year. That blocked penalty kick by Messi might be a killer (as well as that offside on the 3rd goal).
