How the heck do you not put Pepi on the roster?  Young talent a chance to shine on this stage. We robbed Puli of the chance by not qualifying and now deliberately not rostering Pepi. That's disappointing.

We should be in the WC every 4 years as a minimum expectation.  But … I just don’t believe this group has “it”.

I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think we make it out of the group.  I thing CGB is that bad a coach.

I've been getting that feeling of a disappointed showing.  If we make if out of group, 1st round knockout.  I felt good until the last 3 or 4 matches leading in.

Me on Monday

Wish we had some momentum.  Wales has a lot of it and a dangerous team.  But they may be the "weakest" in our group.  Need to win this one

The WC is usually held in Summer when most pro players are in off season & somewhat recovered. Most players in this WC are mid season and are STARTING this grueling tournament boarderline overtrained. So I anticipate more key injuries to critical players in this WC than any since 1962 (when injury subs were not permitted). We saw it today in Ecuador v. Qatar - non contact injuries.

That'd be Iran, and they're currently getting obliterated by the English. 3-0 at half. 

[AUDub 11,131]

If we can squeak by Wales I really like our odds of going to the knockouts. 

If is doing a lot of heavy lifting though. 

[Brad_ATX 13,654]

Waldo jersey is on.  Let's do this USA!

 

[AUDub 11,131]

Sargent and Ream blech

[AUDub 11,131]

Well we're winning possession and have had the better opportunities. Need to convert. 

[AUDub 11,131]

WHOOOOO

[AUDub 11,131]

We need Aaronson and soon. Midfield is teetering. 

[AUDub 11,131]

No idea what Walker was doing there. 

[AUDub 11,131]

I support drawing and quartering GGG if the black hole at 9 that is Josh Sargent sees the field again. 

[AUBwins 10,064]

Got a result at least.  A win would have been huge.  But not a loss. 

[AUBwins 10,064]

Great foul at the end to cover up turner's stupid choice. 

[AUBwins 10,064]

I really was expecting a fire over the head by Wales 

[Brad_ATX 13,654]

Wildly disappointing result today.  Stupid foul by Zimmerman and some very questionable subs by GGG.  Now you HAVE to at least draw Friday to have a shot.

[aubearcat 2,132]

I don’t know much about soccer but I love watching the World Cup. I like it better than the Olympics. My physical therapist and I were watching the US v Wales match during my session. It was awesome. 

[AUBwins 10,064]

So Saudi Arabia beats Argentina yesterday 2-1.  Messi farewell pursuit of that World Cup trophy not off to a good start.

[AUBwins 10,064]

Ochoa! Wow!

[Brad_ATX 13,654]

Anyone that had Saudi Arabia leading that group after match day 1 is a liar.

[aucanucktiger 1,789]

Dreadfully careless foul by Zim, maybe his Bill Buckner moment? New York Post headline was "Wales Wins 1 - 1". But for pk they had no serious scororing threat. Our mids & Turner were top tier, forwards adequate and...stop me if you've heard this before...D was abysmal. It's popular to trash Ber but what does he have to work w/ in the entire US defensive player pool? 

England's WC record vs the US is 0-1-1 becsuse they're notoriously overconfident. Even a close US loss to Brits and healthy win vs Iran gets us out of group stage. We've advanced past group stage in 3 of our last 4 WCs. 

Fun fact, US vs Wales was our 34th(!) WC game, in our 11th WC. Dont let anybody tell you we're amateurs.
