    The elephant in the room with this whole Reyna ordeal is that Reyna is a bit of a head case. I want him on the pitch but him having burned a bridge or two with Berhalter by this point wouldn't surprise me. 

    Just hope he's ready to go by 2026. 

    Its not just Reyna, its Scally too. 

  2. Now that it's over, I will say this: I know it's not the rule, but when you are in a clearly trailing position and you reach out and cynically grab the jersey or the body of the ball handler and pull him back or down - that should be a red card. I know the rule now on these situations is only when it is a clear scoring opportunity, but it should be anywhere on the field.  It's a bullshit move by a player who is beaten.
     

    It is on a breakaway but not there, we did the same to Bale to prevent him from get a shot.

  3. Also I know Weston has been praised this WC, but when the ball has been at his feet in the box he has been very below average. We need him to dominate the air like he has done many times before and provide a good service too. Pulisic hasn't been great off of set peices either so far the past 2 games.

    Also re standings- if wales were to beat England, would we be playing to knock them out of the tournament and take their place?

    england and wales would have 4 points each- is head to head the first tiebreaker?

    Head to Head is 4th, and Goal Differential is 2nd so it really doesn't matter unless Wales drops 6+ goals on England.

  5. I'm feeling good about tomorrow but we need to press early and often. Iran wants to absorb and counter when its appopriate, the long this goes socreless the more difficult it will become. Really hope we aren't starting Wright, this is a game where Pepi would be perfect, and would like Weah at the #9 with Aaronson providing the creativity on the right who can also cover for Dest when needed out on the right side. 

  6. I think the Dutch wanted to defend and counter. But Ecuador has a really nice attack, so they kept the pressure on them.
     
    Van Gaal isn't a great manager, hence why they turn off their attack.

    Ecuador scored just as many as Argentina in qualifying. They are a good team that will cause problems in the knockout stage if they can beat Senegal.

    Holland look asleep playing on cruise control waiting for Qatar.
  7. When Portuguese is needed, I mostly stumble along with Spanish.

    All the Portuguese I know, I learned when we stayed on the Brazilian side at Iguazu: nao, sim, obrigado, pao de queijo, and leite quente. Oh, and cubim - FANTASTIC cut of beef.
    Enjoy watching the Brazilian side, felt really bad for them when Germany DESTROYED them at home a coupla cups ago.

    That 7-1 drubbing was very satisfying!
