You’re making me want to tune into the England game

The worst. Hasn't scored for the US since 2018, and only twice in 17 career appearances. But hey, he's having a solid season in the Championship so let's keep rolling him out there.


Reyna needs to be out there.


The only thing I can figure is that he's out of form and hasn't been training well after all his injuries. Otherwise it's gross incompetence to leave him out. When he's on he might be our best attacking player.

They should have had another goal. Pulisic looking for a good pass.

Seems like Iran isn't interested in pressing on the US end, just absorbing US offense and looking to counter.

They could change strategy and personnel in the second half.

Weah needed to be selfish there, could’ve been 2-0.

Absolutely. Great timing by Pulisic but Dest has been amazing.

Dest has had so much joy down the right side, Iran need one of their wingers to help out down that side of they want something from this game.
