My wife hates watching soccer because of the flopping and stoppages. Today watching the wales players just flop down when no one was within 20 feet of them and flop around to get a stoppage made me see why.
You would think in the showcase to the whole world FIFA would want to do something about that to make the game watchable for casual fans.
I don't think Iran is as bad as they looked today. They could bounce back and draw or beat Wales on Friday. That is what we are hoping for. Especially if we can draw England on Friday then England will need to stomp on Wales throat to ensure the top spot in the group.
After Friday if it is
England 4
Wales 2
USA 2
Iran 1
Or England 4
Iran 3
USA 2
Wales 1
Or
England 4
Wales 4
USA 2
Or even
England 6
Iran 3
Wales 1
USA 1
We are in good shape with a win over IRAN
If it is
England 6
Wales 4
USA 1
We are in trouble.
Bold is our best case because then its beat Iran and we are through no questions asked.
I would put Weah where Sargent is and Aaronson where Weah is. Just havoc up top. I think your lineup is probably pretty close to what we will see.
Weston is probably in for Reyna though, and who TF knows what they are going to do up top. I hope its Sargent but wouldn't be surprised if it was JF
I thought it was the other way around, he was the hazer and why he was no longer with the team.
I'm sure there is a ton of conflicting shit out there right now.
I can't put that on worthy, That ball was 2 yards behind him and he was running full tilt, if the ball was thrown 6 yards further its probably a TD. The only thing you can't do there as a QB is under throw it and that is what Quinn did.
I hope it is this, but I can't see Weston not starting.
I know there is no chance But what about a 3-3-1-3 With Musah as a CDM. We could try to win every game 4 to 3.
CP WEAH GIO
AARON ADAMS WES
MUSAH
JEDI ZIMM DEST
TURNER
Im pretty sure Weah has played up top before for us. I don't think it will happen but I guess it could.
I may just be too much of an Aaronson slappy, but I love that that dude can literally buzz around for the whole 90 minutes, using him as a sub seems like a waste.
Great post Lincoln. You conveyed my thoughts in much cleaner form. Bringing up the fact that having MLS players on the roster likely played into it really makes a lot of sense.
I am not a pepi fan at all, I think he is starting to put it together, but to leave him off for JF is insane.
Maybe Greg will roll Sargent out there game one and bring in Wright late and I will be bitching about something that is irrelevant, but if that lineup card comes out and JF is the starter I am going to be disappointed, but not surprised.
