OT: 2022 World Cup Thread

[RuSnp]

Going to be a nailbiting last 20+ minutes...

Hoping we get a goal on an Iranian mistake pushing forward.

 

[mildone_rivals]

GB is late with subs again, IMO.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Great dummy by Dest. LOL

 

[mildone_rivals]

Getting a sub now, I bet. That looked bad.

 

[RU848789]

Until we scored it was simple for us to play out of the back with very little Iranian pressure up top, but now they're committing more men into the attack, making it harder to play out of the back. There will be times where the right play will be not trying to play out of the back, which is inherently riskier than smashing it upfield.

Sub time

 

[Roy_Faulker]

Guess Reyna is on the **** list for sure.

Berhalter apparently wanted him to lie about his health/fitness.

 

[RuSnp]

Sub time

The size of Hadji Wright is really something. There's a really good player in there I think.

 

[mildone_rivals]

Mistake to foul there by Weah.

 

[RU848789]

Well, GB is now 100% committed to defending...

 

[Roy_Faulker]

So prevent defense

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

No way, he kept his arm tight to the body..that’s not a hand ball

 

[brgRC90]

I hate conservative play

 

[MadRU]

Since McKinnie went off we are losing the midfield battle

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

Well, GB is now 100% committed to defending...

It might work but I thought we went into a shell too early.

 

[krup]

This game has all of the marks of a football team dominating early, only getting FGs, and paying for it later.

 

[krup]

Someone needs to explain to me why Shaq Moore was put in. Was bad against England and looking shaky again.

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

9 min stoppage time…geez

 

[MadRU]

Nice by Wright

 

[RU848789]

dumb foul by Muhsa

 

[MadRU]

Muhsa making tired mistakes

 

[zappaa]

Don’t understand the philosophy of zero attack

 

[zappaa]

Numbers back and pray?

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

Don’t understand the philosophy of zero attack

I can understand it later in the game like now or near the end of regulation but imo we went into defend the lead mode too early. It might work but I didn’t like the strategy.

 

[MadRU]

Adams still running his *** off

 

[MadRU]

Penalty check

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

Oh my goodness

That’s not a penalty, very light contact and he flopped

 

[MadRU]

Play on

 

[RU848789]

wtf is Wright doing? Play it to the corner!

 

[MadRU]

Yes!!!!

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

That was nervy

 

[RU848789]

WHEW!

 

[brgRC90]

Don’t understand the philosophy of zero attack

You can't give the other team too many chances to take shots. The more chances they get the more likely they are to score. I never understand it either.

 

[rutgersguy1_rivals]

Good win!

Bad strategy the last 1/3 or so of the game

Great Satan - 1

Other guys - 0

It’s tiring to defend defend defend that long too

 

[mildone_rivals]

Nail-biter. I really want to know why Reyna is not playing.

Congrats USA. Well played. Team lacks some offense, but overall solid team.
