I think it is Pulisic's hip, not his nuts...but I can't be sure.

=========

no complaints about the first half. Well deserved lead. I still won't take a breath until the second one comes in. There should be open space to attack multiple times in second half.

Thought he took a knee to the ribs

 

[ChiefD]

I’d like to see Sargent rewarded. He played a very good half.

I hope not. BassNBrew would wake up from surgery and think he was dead.

I think he was playing that off -- he definitely got tagged in the balls. You could see he was pale and sweaty when he got back up. Just excruciating pain.

How great would it be for Bass to wake up to Sargent with a brace?

 

[Major]

Dest and Pulisnic are easily our best players out there. We need more of our guys to play in Europe. MLS just doesn't cut it.

Weah has been damn good across all 3 matches and if that goal went in he’s the group MOTM. Still may be

I was a little bitter after that header so I didn't mention him but he has been playing great. I'd rank him third.

I don’t think any of these guys are playing in the MLS.

******** AMERICAN HERO

 

[Senor Schmutzig]

From my son who is watching at school:

we ran out of our class and started screaming when pulisic scored

Granted we are in soccer-loving Miami but I hope the same thing happened all over the US.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Are they going to show us the little digital video game thing for the offsides like they did for all the other ones? It had to be a fingernail.

 

[The Gator]

**** that AR that flagged for offside

I told my wife once that getting kneed in the balls was like delivering a child.

 

[AAABatteries]

Need to get the second early in the 2nd half. Don’t try and see out 45 minutes or it could look like Wales

 

[The Z Machine]

Put another one of those close ones in then lock this ***** down.

And you were immediately reminded what it feels like, I'm sure.

I was complaining about him to a friend...and every point I made about why this wasn't he game for him...Sarge has proven me wrong. Best he's looked in a long time. Let's just get that final touch for him and everybody else a lot better.

We shouldn’t do this here but just to clarify none of our starters (from today) play in MLS but several backups do.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Gotta get a second goal. I hate this score. So many great chances squandered.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

The real heroes are the women of Iran right now standing up for their rights

The real hero is Pulisic right now for standing up after an 18-wheeler-grade collision to his nuts. Get with the program.

His holdup and link up game has been fantastic - if he could do this every game then there’s zero reason to consider Jesus.

Just checked the roster and you're right, most of their starters are playing abroad. Nice trend.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

If CP can only do this I think you have to consider bringing in Gio who would be perfect for how things are setup right now

Delete this before BassBrew comes out of surgery.

I’m curious to see what changes CG makes. We have got to finish them off - do I think we can win 1-0, absolutely but when you have this moment and talent gap you don’t give them a chance. Take it to them.

Well, in my defense, he could barely walk and couldn’t run when I posted it. Halftime came at a good time for him.

 

[AAABatteries]

I’m surprised they aren’t holding up the matches to synch start time of 2nd half

Much of the team started in MLS and then has moved to Europe. The is the likely development model going forward since MLS teams are cranking out talent the Europe wants to buy.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Ahhhhhrrrggghhhh. Finally caught up.

 

[AAABatteries]

Wow - no CP. he must be coughing up blood

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Well damn.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Bet the docs were concerned about what they saw with CP when they got him into the locker room. That was a crazy hard collision.

 

[AAABatteries]

Musah has had some sloppy passes

 

[FreeBaGeL]

I’m surprised they aren’t holding up the matches to synch start time of 2nd half

They didn't in the early games either. Netherlands game finished 5 minutes earlier even though both games had +6 in stoppage time.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Keep up the pressure!

 

[gianmarco]

England up 1-0

 

[AAABatteries]

Keep pushing

That's a bold strategy, Cotton.

 

[gianmarco]

Aaronson looking good...

 

[Jayrod]

England up 1-0

And now 2-0

Sorry for being pedantic but where else would we do this, the stock thread? Lol

 

[AAABatteries]

Abdominal injury

Read - his nuts got crushed

 

[Dr. Octopus]

US now about 80/20 to go through, per the bookmakers.

They outplayed all 3 teams in this group. They deserve it.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Abdominal injury

Read - his nuts got crushed

Bionic balls - we have the technology.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Dest playing a hell of a game

 

[AAABatteries]

Jedi - come on man

 

[AAABatteries]

I love Aaronson but he needs to keep his shape and calm down a little

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Gonna be a long *** 40 minutes.

 

[The Big Donkey]

man, we just not good on corner kicks.

 

[Zow]

man, we just not good on corner kicks.

Agreed. Set pieces, too, don’t seem strong.

 

[Moe.]

I don't think 1 is going to be enough, we have to get a second. I hope the subs are offensive

 

[Sand]

Not a chance.

 

[Major]

Agreed. Worried Iran will get some cheeky cross in.
