Sweet action for kids 'n' cretins. Marjoram and capers.

Didn't see any of it but a very eye-catching scoreline, i was expecting a more workmanlike scrappy 1-0 if I'm honest. Good shout MD :cool:

Hello,

Foolish tackle - that costs the US 2 points.

Hello,

Agreed. And don't bring in fucking MLS players. Frustrating game in a lot of ways. Heading into this week I had it penciled in my head that the US needed to at least emerge from this match with a point, which they did, but after a very nice first 35 minutes I was hoping for an outright win (especially after watching the ENGvIRA match early this morning). Most likely scenario now to advance is that the US really needs to get a result this Friday and then take care of business against Iran.

It was obvious around the 60 minute mark we needed to get some subs in and respond to Wales waking up. Didn't happen. That's on the coaching, which is definitely a weak link for the USMNT. I'm skeptical we have the right leadership to guide a young group like this.

All that said, fun match. Best yellow I've ever seen in the final seconds to preserve a point. It's a point we deserved, and one we earned. Can't get too mad about that at the end of the day.

Clearly no consistency with penalties. Maguire who is a big guy is wrestled and pulled to the floor and nothing. Yet today Argentina get a penalty for the same directive.

All this fuss that we're likely to lose Kane. Callum Wilson is stronger and more direct and has been playing way better than Kane on current Premier league form.

5 goal scorers 6 goals none for Kane. Of course we can win without him.
