I enjoyed the BBC morning news listening to the news reader lament the poor play of both England and Wales.

Well, it had to be him. That bad bad man Pulisic delivers, at some cost to himself.
And so close for Weah Jr. |

How come we have seen no replay of the Weah offside call. Just a funny animated picture.

Nervy match (again)
The kids should have put it away early. Had to suffer late as a result. Again outstanding first half, definite drop-off in the second 45 minutes - What does Reyna have to do to get on the pitch? fingers crossed on the injuries.

Shaq Moore has more minutes than Gio Reyna. Would have been nice to have a holding midfielder in that last 20 minutes instead of just packing it in and hoping for the best while Haji Wright allowed free lanes for the Iranian fullbacks to pass.

This team definitely has a hard time putting the ball in the net but overall I’m otherwise pleased with the play. I think Pulisic being out second half had its effects as the Iran defense really centered on him in first half. |

And ditto re: Reyna. Oh well. As i commented way back, the success of this team is in spite of GGG, as opposed to being attributable to him |

but were not - including appropriate substitutions (Moore and Wright). Hopefully McKennie can go longer as I believe his absence contributed to the drop-off. |

We do need to see it - from the one and only view I saw, it looked like his knee was over the line.

They (MMA) will pose problems for the Dutch. Interesting tactical match forthcoming.

But the Dutch defense isn’t fully watertight either |

Props again to Tim Ream, who has impressed me this tournament. Such a calming influence back there & always in the right place. He's playing some fantastic CB.
