Does Berhalter change the strategy for today now?

Does Berhalter change the strategy for today now?

Looking at many US soccer decisions in important games over the past 30 years I would say..no.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

We need a point but I don’t think we can weather 90 minutes of England attack without them scoring. That second goal by Iran is a problem. We can’t lose by more than 2.

Just need to beat Iran.

Sub earlier than originally planned and pray for no injuries.

What a time to be alive

I’d probably sit the guys who are on a yellow, especially Ream. He’s solid at the back, and it would be unfortunate for him to pick up another one today and be suspended on Monday.

Not a problem at all thankfully. Just have to beat Iran and we in.

I guess technically if Wales beat England and we beat Iran but lose to England then it could come down to goals against. Highly unlikely but we’ve seen stranger things this WC.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Dang. Didn’t get to watch the Wales/Iran game and just now see that the two goals came in LATE stoppage time. Wow. These stoppage time lengths have been absurd.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

That dumb challenge by Zimmerman in the Wales game still gets me sad..

 

[NorCalVol67]

Qatar really showing on the field they belong in the World Cup.

 

[The Dog]

Well, I'm glad I didn't wake up at 5 am and watch Wales get beat by Iran. I think I prefer losing money while I'm sleeping over watching and losing in the 98th minute

 

[ENGRVOL]

It’s gameday!!

 

[The Dog]

Wow, Gakpo with an early goal for the Dutch and early winner for me. Too bad it wasn't a header, I would have won 2 bets instead of just the anytime goal scorer bet

 

[bleedorange0037]

Yes! It’s the return of Derek Rae and his comically over the top Dutch pronunciations.

 

[The Dog]

They just showed my favorite Dutch player of all time, Wesley Schneider and he has been enjoying retirement or at least, he has been eating well.

 

[bleedorange0037]

Former Everton players are having quite a tournament. Two goals for Richarlison, including one that is probably leader in the clubhouse for goal of the tournament, two for Enner Valencia, one for Davy Klassen, and Lukaku hasn’t even set foot on the field yet.

My god. Didn’t actually see it so had to Google what you were talking about, and led me to this amazing headline.
Wesley Sneijder goes 'full Samir Nasri' with his figure and looks unrecognisable

 

[The Dog]

I missed the first 10 minutes and the Netherlands goal, but what I've watched, Ecuador has dominated, imo. Dutch better wake up

 

[The Dog]

Yep, Ecuador is dominating this game and now it's all tied up

 

[C/O]

Yep, Ecuador is dominating this game and now it's all tied up

Made me happy to see Brighton Southwest tie it up with the fighting Van Dijks.

 

[MAD]

A draw eliminates Qatar.

 

[theFallGuy]

No one believe the Americans have a chance. Let's show them

Yeah. I don't want to get conspiratorial too early. However, if England takes the group in hand by throttling us they way they did Iran I could see them deciding to rest a lot of their guys against Wales.

 

[C/O]

Aaaaaand Qatar is out.
