Group B: England, Iran, USA, Wales

[Pittsburgh Footy]

Big picture, this game had everything we yanks thought we had in this team

1) Suspect CB play cost us a penalty
2) Suspect GK play almost cost us a goal at the end
3) We have very good players in midfield and on the wings
4) We are young, and with that we will make mistakes
5) Berhalter as our manager, not making the proper adjustments second half with Moore coming on and completely changing this team

Still a building process

 

[PhilM]

He certainly could have.

I’m even airing towards would have, but that’s ifs and buts. When you balance it all, a yellow was the correct decision.

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

Second half Wales just begged us to properly counter and win it and we refused. A lot of 3 on 3s were we just decided to stop. Struggled under pressure at times too. Missed chance

More composure in the final third and we go up 2-0

Just couldn't make the right pass to finish this

Fantastic result for wales, but a question of what could have been?

Kieffer Moore just causes so many problems for sides it leaves space elsewhere.

Perfect for England and a win on Friday could mean the groups won, if things go our way.

Think you’re a proper striker away from being a half decent side.

 

[4 Eyes Better Than 2]

Draw suits England but can’t help feeling a bit sorry for USA. They were the only team playing football there

Did you watch that 2nd half ?

USA were terrible. 1-1 was a fair result in the end.

 

[MikeH72]

That second place is really up for grabs between those 3 teams, very little to separate them.

 

[Connor]

Senegal v Netherlands was somehow worse quality than that.

Senegal's midfield includes 3 terrible crabs and they went up against Ste Berghuis, so wasn't even going to be one for the purists

Yes but I also think on more than a few occasions they didn't make the wrong pass so much as they didn't make a pass

Wouldn’t have cared if it was red. He won’t be playing against England anyhow

Good to see DCL involved in the world cup adverts

 

[TheBigIguana]

Think you’re a proper striker away from being a half decent side.

Pulisic through the middle is the solution I see for the time being but he's not tested it so you can't just do it now

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Good match that

 

[TyphooToffee]

I'd have backed Bale to score if he hadn't been fouled on the halfway line.

Deserved draw for us in the end. We clawed our way back into it throughout the second half after being way second best in the first half.

Moore has to start for wales. Unique striker and makes everyone else play better.
