Does anyone know when the US plays next and what the stakes are?  

Tuesday versus Iran.  We have to win to advance.

Something about tying on Thursday vs Oman to come home 

idk. But they keep repeating it

What happens if we don't win?

That would have been a pretty rough penalty no matter how much you hate Busqu

The ref gave the free kick afterwards as a peace offering.

Now the subs have looked much better. Was the second guy off on this one? 
 

Nope.

Great clearance by Rodri but I thought the ball was over the endline

Morata is not clutch

I wish the US had some guys who would unclutchly score goals

Draw seems about right.  Spain needed to stay on the front foot.  Germany really needs bench Mueller and Gnabry to make sure and start fast against Costa Rica.

Wish that Germany had gotten the win. You know they say a tie is like kissing your sister but with how young Germany’s team is it’s like kissing a really hot stepsister.

This will be fun next Wednesday. All four teams will believe if they win they will advance.

Brutal turnover out of the back set up that chance. Great finish. 

Spain’s center backs really hurt them. I understand Rodri is a CDM playing out of position, but that’s no excuse for the all the turnovers he committed in the second half. If anything it makes his shitty passing even less excusable.

but with how young Germany’s team

Huh?

Who besides Musiala would count as young? Schlotterbeck?  They just played a team with two teenage midfielders and their top forward is 22.

That was much better. I think Germany did much better coming at them and not letting them get comfortable. Spain is so good and can score in the blink of an eye. Germany also attacked better. I like the young guys. Sit Mueller. I feel a lot better about them now than I did a couple hours ago.

Try to see him when they play in Houston. Would be nice if the Dynamo decided to spend some money on players because they have sucked as bad as the Texans.

I will be ordering FC Dallas tickets early.

Belgium v Morocco is awful so far.  Belgium really not showing the quality today.

Belgium didn’t show their quality vs Canada, they just snuck out with 3 points. Belgium’s decline is full speed ahead…

NOT: Starting now. or Coming after the 2024 Euros.

The HMFIC of Morocco will give each player a pack of Camels and a bag of dates. 

A friend since childhood was offered 1,000 camels (🐪 x 1,000) for his wife on their honeymoon when they were in Morocco. (2000 A.D.)

At the time she looked like a younger Shania Twain without surgical enhancements, he dad was reportedly worth $125M (probably double that now) and the wife only had one sibling, and they hadn’t had kids yet and he wanted to combine genes with her (She was very attractive and they met at Harvard Law, meaning the smarts were there too.), so  he declined the offer.

But camels 🐪 🐫 as currency is (was?) definitely a thing in Morocco. 🇲🇦

Lalas have jaundice?

Lalas is jaundice personified.

SIDE NOTE: From the podcasts I’ve listened to where he has been a guest (definitely Max Bretos and maybe others), one could infer that Lalas likes to drink a bit.

Lucky on the [Rudiger goal] offsides as Spain defense was complete shit on that set piece.

Lucky that Spain’s defenders practice holding up a bit so that the opposing players are offsides on set pieces and counterattacks. 

Saudi Arabia was lucky that they weren’t down 3-0 to 4-0 at halftime after they smartly played their high line a little tighter than other teams, like they practice it, and they smartly did something that Argentina didn’t adjust to.

The number of offsides goals that Spain & FC Barcelona scored between 2008 and 2013 probably numbers in the “several dozen” to “over 50” range because there was no VAR. Now that there’s VAR, defenses can be smart and not get screwed. By lazy and/or crooked refs.

Did the comments from Canada head coach John Herdman, about how his players were going to "f--- Croatia," serve to fire up the Croatians ahead of this critical game?

"I want to thank Canada's coach for the motivation," Kramaric said shortly after scoring two goals in Croatia's 4-1 rout over Canada on Sunday, sending the North American team crashing out of the World Cup.

"We demonstrated who f---ed whom," he added.

Canada's coach seems like a dumbass.

Excellent grammar! 

It pleases me to see English as a Foreign Language users getting the "who"/"whom" usage spot on rather than learning their English from their British or American teammates who don't exactly nail the grammar at the club level.
