Just caught up on the DVR. Helluvan opening 30 minutes. Disallowed US goal (was offsides, but also thought maybe there was a handball on them before the goal), then Turner gets rocked and not even a yellow card, then Weah making an absolutely effing stupid play to get a straight red and then that amazing goal by Balogun and then the Panama goal on a great shot, but a lucky deflection. Going to be tough to win this one. Weah simply has to know better than that. Inexcusable.

Weah is one of my favorite players. But what he did was just dumb.
Turner was, IMO, out of position on the Panama goal, based on how the first attacker was being defended by our first defender. Should’ve been more to his right making it very saveable.

Turns out Turner was hurt by that collision as he's out now. Really pisses me off that there wasn't at least a yellow for the Panama player on that foul.
US almost has to tie this to have confidence of going forward, as a tie means we likely go through on goal differential vs. Panama (assuming Uruguay beats Bolivia and then if Panama beats Bolivia). If we lose and Panama wins, we're likely out (again assuming Uruguay wins later). I'd hate to have to beat Uruguay to advance.
It blows my mind how terrible soccer coverage is, with regard to timely, comprehensive replays, relative to almost every other sport. Sometimes it takes 30+ seconds to see a replay of a controversial play/goal/foul, whereas we get those in a few seconds in the NFL, NBA, NHL, etc.
Took 20 seconds to get the first replay of the possible penalty...and the mic's aren't working. Unacceptable.
Panama won the mental battle. Weah has some apologizing to do.
Holy ****, only thing worse than the game result is listening to Lalas.

Rooting for the US team is like rooting for Rutgers. They always let you down but we still do.
Men's team is no better than it was back in 1994. 30 years of wasted time.
There was a 3-minute VAR review of the potential penalty on the US and over a minute lost after the melee after Pulisic was hacked, plus one typically sees 3-4 minutes in most games from various injuries/subs, alone, so should've been at least 7-8 minutes, IMO. I don't get it at all. That and no yellow on the guy who took Turner out (ended up injuring him) were just mind boggling. Should've been able to at least tie a team that's not as good as you are when down one guy, though, and we didn't.
And the two biggest loser trolls on the board weigh in, while cuddling and spooning, I presume.
Having to sub Turner hurt because it limited options for adding fresh legs on the field. The Weah blunder was crushing.
I would have left Balogun in another 10 minutes or more. Balogun didn’t seem too tired to me at that point. I still would’ve put Pepi in, just later on. But yeah, the GK sub meant not being able to put in Musah or another mid.
Don't get mad at me. Your beloved men's soccer team blows. Direct your anger appropriately.
Only if we advance, IMO, and that probably means beating Uruguay. Let's hope for Uruguay to win big tonight, so they're in and maybe they treat us like Portugal treated Georgia in the Euros, "letting" them win (or at least not putting all their best players out).
It’s a hell of a lot worse considering the resources that the US has.
Woah, NimberSan is triggered. Go watch some Asian bush porn and loosen up Freak. Now he’s on to ***** stuff. Never ceases to go low.
He’s a clown. An angry jort wearing frisbee golf clown.
He knows less about soccer than he does pharma or weather. That’saying something!
You don't even know the guy's name who got our red card (it's "Weah") and you're unable to even type semi-accurately and yet I'm the clown. lol. Do us all a favor and go back to the RWCJ.
^^^^^ Grammar police
The last resort of those losing arguments. At least Cali knows how to post correct links. LOL!
Typo Asian Fetish Guy.
Your boy Biden can’t even speak lol. I can see why you’re so bitter.
Go back pornhub Freak
Under that scenario, you are right, we're out.
Other scenarios are more complicated. We could beat Uruguay and be out. Or we could lose to Uruguay and still advance. All depending on what happens in Panama v. Bolivia.
