Freezing under pressure all around. 2 goals allowed because of it

 

[Wells4Heisman]

One shot on target off a deflected free kick. Won’t get it done

 

[Bucklion]

Well…we’re a R16 nation I guess. That’s what, 5 times? 6? Since 94? We’ve only advanced past that round once since 1930. I guess maybe it’s the ceiling.

 

[Bucklion]

We don’t need to see any gesticulating, Stu

 

[Bucklion]

Time to switch to a 2-2-7

 

[CMic]

Need the Ref to call 3 consecutive red cards on Belgium.

We loved seeing El Tri fumble last night then we look even worse doing the same. All 3 host nations fall on their faces this round. Ugh

I would posit this was a successful WC all around. Maybe if we got Poch a year sooner the depth would be more efficient? Grasping at straws now

Maybe threaten an air strike? Sorry that's my go to

Ream out sprinted by Lukaku.

 

[Bucklion]

We should cut some kind of deal to play in every Copa America…we need the competition more often. The Gold Cup ain’t getting it done.

That isn't even a fair race unfortunately

I mean…looking at Spain, France, Argentina, England…not the same conversation. Honestly I don’t know how, or if, we’ll ever get there.

Playing better opponents all the time is definitely a move in the right direction. Playing each other is fools gold
