Ooh just got a little cold chill. Let's do this!

I still have bittersweet memories after what happened to Escobar after 94, but there is no doubt that the Columbia game, and that entire run in particular, set up a generation to get on the map and the most fun I’ve ever had watching soccer (2001 qualies to the 2002 QF run). As a geezer now I can only hope that some people of this generation end up having as much fun with this run as I did from 94-02.

Also Canada looking like a possible 3rd place team now…they ain’t beating the Swiss. They’d better gargle Qatar or they’re going to be sweating it out.

They were mighty unlucky to be held to a draw, one of the crazier goal line clearances I can recall

 

[Bucklion]

Another South American own goal 32 years later…wow

 

[Bestbuck36]

Outstanding work starting at the back line. Keep the pressure on boys

 

[Bucklion]

Terrible touch or that’s 2-0

 

[Bucklion]

Lots of aggression tonight, good sign…that clash of heads isn’t though

 

[Jagdaddy]

Terrible touch or that’s 2-0

I'm pretty casual about soccer, but I'd say it was one of the worst touches I've ever seen,

 

[Bucklion]

Pulisic way offside, shame but nice creation

 

[Bucklion]

Balogun with the dagger

 

[CMic]

I don’t watch much soccer, but doesn’t the second offsides actually cancel the first offsides?

 

[Bestbuck36]

Brilliant ball movement this half. Hell of a start for Balogun!

At the risk of sounding like Yogi Berra, Weston McKennie is always somewhere. His time in Italy has really taught him how to be in a good spot seemingly all the time.
