2026 World Cup (Official Thread)

Well, after a universal A+ in the first half…

Playmaking and ball handling in the second, solid B+, created some good chances and kept the ball well

Defending B/B-, gave up the goal on a comedy of errors but otherwise held up pretty well

Scoring, D. Lots of missed chances, a breakaway, a couple of sitters, and very little nerve in front of goal.

Overall, 3 points. Excellent start.

Oh my goodness that has to feel sensational for Gio after 2022.

Brilliant shot! Love how the whole team came out and celebrated it also.

On to the Aussies!

Maybe boost the scoring to a C after Reynas strike, but still a bit concerning down the roster
