[TennesseeJed]

Since when is VAR uses to overturn that?

Never. Err, tonight

 

[NewlyRetired]

I wish this wasn't a friendly and we had a ex ref on hand to make comments in the broadcast because I don't understand any of what happened.

 

[TennesseeJed]

I do wonder if there is some wiggle room in VAR - say the Ref is sent to review a Red Card, and in the course of that review, is able to review the entire play.

 

[El Floppo]

So why not review the foul that led to CPs goal? I didn't think that was a foul either.

That was not reviewable.

[NewlyRetired]

So how the hell does the VAR guy say "check for red' based on that replay?

 

[El Floppo]

What's changed here... Just higher pressure from Brazil?

 

[gianmarco]

So how the hell does the VAR guy say "check for red' based on that replay?

He was alone/last man in on goal if it was a foul, thus a red.

 

[El Floppo]

Because the US are just stuck in their defensive third.

 

[El Floppo]

Good. Pepi ran hard, but was pretty useless on the ball.

 

[prefontaine]

From these two games it's pretty obvious what our rotation is going to be. We've only started 13 guys. Adams may slot in as well but my guess is our lineup is those 14 barring injury/suspension. The rest may be late subs but this is our team.

 

[TennesseeJed]

So how the hell does the VAR guy say "check for red' based on that replay?

Could have been "last man" foul?

Really odd though.

 

[TripItUp]

cmon weah

 

[El Floppo]

Lol... Grandpa ream vs Kendrick is not going to go well

 

[TennesseeJed]

Fair play - Turner has been making some good stops tonight.

Not at all comfortable with him back there, but he has made the stops tonight.

 

[TLEF316]

Wow. What a chance

 

[TripItUp]

what a save by the Brazil keep

 

[El Floppo]

Great save... Wow... Thought that was in for sure.

 

[TennesseeJed]

by the Brazil keep

@The Gator

 

[El Floppo]

That was a big time turner save

 

[TripItUp]

Turner playing great 2nd half

 

[El Floppo]

Strong game from Weah

 

[CletiusMaximus]

So how the hell does the VAR guy say "check for red' based on that replay?

He was alone/last man in on goal if it was a foul, thus a red.

Would still have to be deemed a DOGSO I think and it looked like the ball was away from him.

 

[El Floppo]

Adams in for Musah? I missed it

 

[El Floppo]

I liked Musahs game tonight as well

Only because Richards hit the ball first - absent the "foul" he was in on goal with the ball.

So, I can sort of understand the review - but I am sure the VAR official was not expecting that end result. It was an odd one - though probably correct.

 

[El Floppo]

Broken record... Whem they move the ball quicker, good things happen.

 

[TennesseeJed]

Nice thought by Scally.

 

[TennesseeJed]

Broken record... Whem they move the ball quicker, good things happen.

Healthy Adams should help.

 

[El Floppo]

Great outlet!

 

[El Floppo]

Broken record... Whem they move the ball quicker, good things happen.

Healthy Adams should help.

Scally and Richards haven't.

 

[TennesseeJed]

Wow. Should be winning

 

[TLEF316]

Oh Christ. 86% chance vini absolutely cooks Moore for the winner here

 

[TennesseeJed]

Matt Turner tonight:

Tim Howard-esque, or

Scott Sterling-esque?

 

[gianmarco]

Wow. Should be winning

Will be interesting to see xG for tonight. I think US will be ahead.

My guess will be 1.8x vs 1.5x

 

[prefontaine]

Oh Christ. 86% chance vini absolutely cooks Moore for the winner here

well, so far 100% chance Vini manhandles him. Shaq looked almost Aaronson'esque

 

[TennesseeJed]

Richards has had a pretty strong game tonight, also.

 

[El Floppo]

As poor as he was first half, without really costing the team much, Turner has been outstanding 2nd half

 

[El Floppo]

Richards has had a pretty strong game tonight, also.

Not for me.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I have enjoyed the Reamadinhi show.

 

[El Floppo]

But tbf, has played better as the game progresses.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Thiago Reama

 

[gianmarco]

Antonee should have gotten a foul called against him.

 

[gianmarco]

Antonee should have gotten a foul called against him.

And then Vini gets bailed out.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Can't ask any more from a friendly. Great entertainment all game long.

 

[TennesseeJed]

Vini JR - great goal line clearance to save the game.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Turner won me back on his side with that half. He was almost flawless.

 

[TennesseeJed]

I think this result virtually guarantees that Berhalter will be leading the team in 2026, even if the US go out in the QFs of Copa.

And, maybe that is for the best.

 

[SpurrierisisGod]

Very entertaining match.
US on the back foot most of the game but had our chances.

Is Columbia that much more worrisome than Brazil at this point? Or do we just match up better style-wise. Honestly the Columbia game was 2-1 before the subs but it just never felt like we had a chance. This game seemed like we did.

No one had a nightmare game although I'm still not sold on scally. Add Dest to that line up tonight and things might have gotten really fun.
