Aaronson already impacting the game

Abdominal? Did he rupture something?

I know angles can be deceiving, and the live shot is at an angle, but they were conveniently right by the darker strip of grass when the ball was played. Dude was clearly onside. The automatic review I'm sure is an accurate depiction of the position of their bodies at some point, but it can't be at the exact instant the ball was played.

A much better version of the rule, particularly in the VAR era, would just be to draw the lines from the positions of the player’s feet. Beyond that you get into the tiny fractions of the angles of the player’s bodies and the subjective line of exactly where the arm begins. Front/back of the boot leaves much less room for interpretation.

Wow, clear foul the ref lets go. He blew the damn whistle when Iran had a guy down and keeps it going when we have one down. Be consistent.

 

[ButchPlz]

Foul in the box. Come on!

 

[ButchPlz]

And let the guy slide feet first into the goalie.

 

[sportsnut624]

Our set pieces leave a lot to be desired. Even when pulisic was in they weren’t very dangerous balls

 

[ButchPlz]

Do the Iranian players not realize that time wasting at this point is probably not a good idea?

That dude reacted like Jacqueline Kennedy when she saw JFK get shot

 

[ButchPlz]

Boy that was close.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Jeez. Got so lucky there

 

[zjcvols]

Boy that was close.

I would not like to do that again

There’s flopping, and then there’s whatever tf that just was. Screaming in absolute agony one second and then back on his feet good as new the next.

I'm not a soccer tactics guy, but it would seem with 5 subs you'd want to spell people a little more than we do. I get keeping chemistry and form but at some point the tired guys become a liability, no?

At this point why we are leaving Sargent in is beyond me

That shot looked like what happens when I play Pro Clubs on FIFA with randoms.

 

[ButchPlz]

I'd like to see us control the ball a little more.

Sargent needs to be pulled. He's shot.

Yep. Now that he’s got an injury it’s a no brainer

 

[ButchPlz]

F***ing sub him, Berhalter.

CCV has played well today.

 

[BearCat204]

eye ran

 

[ButchPlz]

Don't put in Shaq Moore. Please don't.

 

[zjcvols]

I’m not having fun

 

[ButchPlz]

No handball there.

And the bench yellow, lololol
