That Sargent injury is huge.  Forced Gregg to use his third and final substitute window earlier than he wanted.  Chose to just sub in Haji and let two subs go unused.  Oh man.

 

Clearly I missed something, as the US just got an extra sub window.  Did I miscount?

This is killing me.

Drama...

[Huskerpapa]

Wow...whew...wow.

Now free Gio dang it!  Dude hasn’t played at all!  I’m getting livid.

[cornfed24-7]

That took time off my life.

Well worth it!  I don’t mind the draw against the Dutch either.

[cornfed24-7]

If you told me before group play started we would only score 2 goals I would have thought we would be on our way home.

May be a blessing because the dudes looked gassed and he’s fresh!

For sure if Christian can't go Saturday.  Gio is as close to an apples to apples replacement for him that we have.

In a do or die situation, the YOUNGEST average starting 11 in Qatar took their place in the round of 16.  
 

2026… 2030… future is bright.  But so is the now!

That kid wearing #8 for them scares me.

USA!!! Wooooo!!!!!!!!

BIG result we are in the knockout stage go USA!!!

England looked gooood again today.  With how we played them, am I crazy to think we’ve got a chance against the Dutch?

 

Our two 2nd halves haven’t been great, but we looked the best of the two sides against England and had the better chances.

 

Should really have went 2-1-0 in our group and could have easily been 3-0-0.

It takes a little bit of crazy to be a USMNT and Nebrasketball fan.

 

That said...we need to score more than a "2 goals in 3 matches" rate to even have a shot at the Dutch

We had a couple of English guys standing next to us for the game today and they both agreed the US had a legitimate chance to beat the Dutch on Saturday so take that for what it’s worth. Also for what it’s worth I agree with them.

The halftime sub wouldn’t have counted as a sub window, maybe that is what you were counting?

Pulisic has a pelvic contusion.  Says he'll be ready to go for Saturday.  (but that sounds pretty painful)

Thanks.  That is indeed what I missed.

The World Cup is great.  WC elimination games though are 10X better.
