we have talked about it before but not having the original American soccer city as part of our soccer landscape has been a large over site. St Louis finally coming into MLS, with a beautiful stadium and academy already up and running is going to pay dividends down the line for us as a soccer...

Tutul Rahman @tutulismyname % of WC Minutes That Features A Player From This League (so far): 1) EPL - 100% 2) Bundesliga - 87% 3) La Liga - 84% 4) Ligue 1 - 81% 5) Serie A - 69% 6) MLS - 50% 7) Jupiler - 39% 8) Super League GRE - 35% 9) Super Lig TUR - 33% 10) Eredivisie- 28% 11)...

In ~195 minutes so far in the WC, he has only been caught out of position once (the long clearance by Wales that Turner had to come out on for the header right to Bale) in where he was in a foot race he was never going to win. So far I don't remember him being beaten off the dribble, much less...

I am a little nervous about Miles. Similar to Morris, he requires his athleticism to be functional. We saw Morris lose a step or 3 (quickness wise) after he blew out his knee. If the same happens to Miles, I do not think he has the skill set to make up for it. Hopefully the stupid arrest is...

You are not the only one. I am 100% sure I said after the Nations League that he should probably never play for the US again. And his recent quality is no surprise for anyone who has seen him play this year in the EPL. He has been wonderful. It could not have come at a better time. And...

Probably worth calling out Adams. Here was a guy who had just an awful season last year. Lost his spot and was eventually transferred. He has been playing great at Leeds and that form carried directly into the WC. This was a guy 6 months ago I thought we were going to have to improve upon...

Mexico and US are very very likely to have new coaches next cycle. Will Canada re-sign Herman or will all 3 hosts be breaking in new coaches?

I am not so much into the sub plots as I just enjoy the general competition but there is something really kind of juicy about Tata possibly playing a part in Messi's last chance at a WC.

By the way, I know everyone beats on McGuire for his club play but the guy has been a rock in the first two games for England.

Kind of true :) https://twitter.com/TrollFootball/status/1596249700755472384?s=20&t=mxKXZu1BxuHqlNnOqR2tUg

anyone else have their heart in their throat when Turner decided to become Jorge Campos when he had his wanderlust late in the game? That looked ripe for an "oh no" moment :)

What a big game on Tuesday for both teams. I have no idea how Iran will approach this needing a only a draw. The US's lack of offensive finality may play in their tactics.

We played fine in second half except for the final ball. I broke down all 11 transitions in an earlier post.

A couple of the usual trolls tried in here and in the Qatar thread but they are so far in the minority they were just ignored and they went away.
