That ball looked out right before they won the throw in that lead to that. Ugh.

 

[The Big Donkey]

awful challenge there in the box.

 

[PIK95]

I like all 3 subs, especially if Musah has a knock

Easy move and I like it too. We needed to get a hold of the game. Saving subs is like playing prevent defense imo.

And with 5 subs, it's really a no brainer

It's a great way to destroy the other teams momentum. I guess it doesn't matter now. How many subs do Wales have left?

 

[FreeBaGeL]

That ball looked out right before they won the throw in that lead to that. Ugh.

I was thinking the same thing. Camera was right down the line and it looked clearly out. Ref was right there too.

 

[AAABatteries]

What was Walker thinking? Ugh.

I hate to crucify the guy but man, we had defenders, Bale’s back was to the goal - wtf

 

[The Gator]

17 minutes of added time upcoming.

hoping for 27 now

 

[The Gator]

Nice penalty by Bale.

Let's not do this here

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Inexplicable.

 

[encaitar]

Jordan Morris instead of Gio? WTF Gregg.

 

[AAABatteries]

Jordan Morris instead of Gio? WTF Gregg.

Total head scratcher

 

[TripItUp]

we aren't big enough for crosses...I'd prefer less crosses and more sequenced attacks.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Jordan Morris instead of Gio? WTF Gregg.

Probably a better option in a late scramble or set piece.

 

[AAABatteries]

Ok Greg - you had done just about everything right

 

[AAABatteries]

What the absolute **** - how is that not a yellow. Jesus Christ

 

[lardonastick]

how is that not a yellow???

 

[Dickies]

No idea how that's not a yellow

 

[encaitar]

The audacity to make that foul and not get a yellow and THEN still time waste... incredible.

This ref is awful.

 

[QuizGuy66]

So if Costa Rica has a 1-0 lead in one of these games there will be what 31 minutes of added time?

-QG

 

[AAABatteries]

God I hope this ref doesn’t decide this game against us - I’m ok if he does it for us

 

[FreeBaGeL]

So if Costa Rica has a 1-0 lead in one of these games there will be what 31 minutes of added time?

-QG

And rightly so.

 

[Jaysus]

Did Ampadu just puke on the field?

 

[PIK95]

Wales looks gassed.

 

[Capella]

Refs just announced 5 hours of stoppage time

 

[PIK95]

Portsmouth still has a squad? I miss the glory of the David James days myself.

 

[TwinTurbo]

Love to see Bale get a WC goal just wish it was against any other team. Also that was literally the only way they could have scored in this game. Hope US can find a winner here in the end

 

[AAABatteries]

Because of the order of marches I think Wales is happy with a draw

 

[Lehigh98]

Love to see Bale get a WC goal just wish it was against any other team.

Nah, F that guy.

 

[[icon]]

What the **** are we doing?

We deserve to lose this match

 

[[icon]]

I think Gareth Bale sleeps with a Tennis ball in his mouth

 

[AAABatteries]

Was Gio not ready to play?

 

[AAABatteries]

Lol - great foul by Acosta

 

[PIK95]

Acosta may have just saved the match there.

 

[shady inc]

Bring on wondolowski

 

[Dan Lambskin]

How come they never kick the ball at the goal?

 

[encaitar]

Damn. We had that. That stupid penalty by Zimm...

Well, now there's work to do.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Well the good news is we'll have a clear sense of what we need in the last game. Not the worst result - really a tale of two halves.

Cue up the #1 Fan of Iran Soccer account

[Dickies]

Looked so good in the first half, and total dogshit in the second

 

[The Gator]

Whoa, Bale was going to pull a Xabi Alonso

 

[NewlyRetired]

wow, I am spent. Can you imagine that game with only 3 subs? The players were dead.

Now we hope to keep it close against England and hope Wales does not score a ton against Iran.

 

[Capella]

I dunno, seemed like a draw to me. Wales seemed better in the second half.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Acosta may have just saved the match there.

that was almost 100% a saved point. Bale had the entire goal to look at just needed to guide it with a long kick. Turner had to make the play though because Ream was exposed.

 

[TripleThreat]

An England Wales draw would be ideal.

 

[Major]

Love to see Bale get a WC goal just wish it was against any other team. Also that was literally the only way they could have scored in this game. Hope US can find a winner here in the end

I don't know. They were putting a lot of pressure on the US in the second half and definitely had some opportunities. Sucks to draw on an unnecessary penalty like that.

 

[B Maverick]

Bring on wondolowski

Odd way to spell Morris

 

[FreeBaGeL]

We should've scored a 2nd when they were pressing. Too content to just win a minute of possession when they turned it over without many numbers back.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Was Gio not ready to play?

this was a head scratcher to me. Only thing I can think of is that he may be starting against England but I can't be sure.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Need a 0-0 Iran/Wales draw
-QG

 

[Lehigh98]

An England Wales draw would be ideal.

For whom? England is getting out of this group, need a Wales loss there.

 

[NewlyRetired]

I thought the Wales tactical change at half time to go away from speed and go with height made a big difference.

GGG was also too slow to get Weston subbed. Wales dominated but the game changed when Aaronson came in.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Best of luck to whatever teams get this Qatari ref next....
