So frustrating to see Bellingham have a breakout tournament and Gio got like 45 minutes total.
-
We wore ourselves out due to both depth but also not properly subbing. Outside of Gio and Aaronson, would have actually preferred to see Scally and Yedlin get more time to spell our exhausted outside backs. But this also goes back to not winning against Wales. If you win that first game, you have a lot more options to rotate the squad in the following games. This has been an issue we've constantly dealt with. We have to give everything to make it out of the group and have nothing left in the tank.

A candidate I would love to coach us is the guy who just played us to perfection. Van Gaal would be amazing compared to Greg.

Let’s go Ferriera!!!
-
I’m saying they are the closest example of a team that wasn’t among the favorites and made a deep run, though you could also add Croatia to that.
-
The latter. When is the last time someone snuck up and won a World Cup? Only team I can think of that came close to that is France in 2006.

This favors us over the Dutch.

2022-2023 Dallas Mavericks season thread: Luka's first MVP

It's almost like letting your 2nd best player walk for nothing is bad roster building... Then you combine that with a horrendous contract for McGee and you have what you have. -
World Cup Day 6 - Wales/Iran, Qatar/Senegal, Netherlands/Equador
LurkingHorn replied to Captain Ron's topic in Futbol
We were always going to need to win the Iran game after we didn’t beat Wales. Now Wales isn’t going to catch us if we keep the England game close and beat Iran. -
World Cup Day 6 - Wales/Iran, Qatar/Senegal, Netherlands/Equador

Were people really hoping we were going to advance without a win? I love going into the 3rd game knowing a win gets us in. Hell, we can afford a 2 goal loss to England at this point. -
All things tactical aside, if we could just get some decent set pieces that would go a long way. It would be nice to steal a cheap one.
-
I’m not sure I agree re: Weah. At this point, you need your best players on the field, even if it’s for the 2nd half. I’d much rather have Gio on the field the Ferreira. Keeping Weah on the shoulder of their slow center backs is a matchup I like.
-
Listening to Jimmy Conrad’s podcast and they have aaronson in for Mckinnie. He would be in front of a dual 6 of Adams and Musah. Also have Weah at the 9 and Gio in his place on the wing. I think that’s spot on. Enough dedicated defenders but Musah can still dribble out to relieve pressure. Aaronson can press like he’s known for and you actually have a better chance to counter them.
-
Assuming we can keep the game close with England (not sure that should be an assumption at this point), the result of the Wales-Iran game is going to be the most crucial match. If Wales wins by more than a goal, I think we're going to have a major uphill battle on Tuesday. Essentially you could be down 3 points and 3 goals on goal differential.
-
Said the same thing in real time. Didn’t understand what the upside was for trying to go through him there. He was going to have to dribble out or pass back.
-
You always want to play the hardest team last. It’s likely they will have clinched and will be rotating the squad. I wasn’t insinuating there’s going to be a handshake agreement. My point is I’d much rather have 4 points going into the last match than 1.
-
Do you remember the 2014 World Cup? We had the same exact scenario going into our 3rd game against Germany. It will be exactly the same in this case. England will win an ugly 1-0 and both will be happy with it.
-
I said going into this game that anything less than a win vs Wales means we are likely out. I would much rather be Wales right now than us. They are likely to play an England team in the 3rd match that is already through. Very disappointing 2nd half. I still think Mckinnie is not right and don’t think he should have started. I think aaronson was in much better form and would have been a better option for this matchup. Also don’t understand Jordan Fucking Morris over Gio. You put your best players on the field. Period. Maybe Gio was hurt?
-
Londoner in Colleyville might be your best bet. That's where I'm headed.
-
I think Weah is a better matchup for England. I have no problem letting him be a sub today.
-
I personally think Aaronson is an obvious choice over McKennie. WM looked awful in the last round of friendlies and has not been playing for Juve over the past few weeks. Also, Wales is likely to play a lot of players behind the ball. I think you need a more creative player to break that.
-
Moore over Yedlin? I would be very surprised by that.
-
He was the obvious choice. Took PTO tomorrow and am hitting up the pub. Let’s do this!

Nice to see those two show up in a big way. Always good to beat the Clips.
