CCV every single time. I have been saying this for months as you know!

BTW, they can say about CCV, that he hasn't played against anyone? Just Iran?
Well, he has played Real Madrid, Rennes, Shakhtar Donestsk, RB Leipzig, Bayern Leverkusen, Real Betis, and the other glasgow team.
I think that is stiffer competition than Columbus Crew or New England Revolution.

I'm fine with either, but the Dutch CB's are big and dominant in the air and set pieces will be a concern. I wouldn't be surprised if Zimmerman gets the nod for that reason, but you never know what that staff is thinking as there is much more of a collaboration at this level than many really give credit for. Just get the W, rooting for the US not a player.

CNN is reporting that a flu-like virus has hit the Netherlands squad.

So a heads up. I'm out for Saturday's USA - Netherlands match. I made a commitment a few months ago, without checking the WC schedule. Idiot. So no posts from me during the match.

Pulisic had a great chance to give the USA the lead in the second minute.

Alright. The hell with this. Let’s see Ned play a real sport. We’d kick their a$$es in basketball or real football.

Embarrassing. US can’t even succeed in scoring on themselves.

Well, that didn’t age well.
US missed their chances. Holland didn’t as our outside backs fell asleep twice. US still needs a real striker and a few other pieces, but it’s not like Holland dominated this match. They didn’t, but just executed better around the box. Pulisic needed to put his early shot away. Wright was gifted a goal and had a horrible first touch. Mark better, put away your chances.

About Pulisic’s shot, he didn’t have much of an angle. I saw a video angle from behind the keeper and saw that it really came close to getting by the keeper, he barely made the save, rats. That’s soccer. It wasn’t Lukaku off the post.
