Jesus Christ. Shades of England 2010, Portugal 2014... actually too many nightmares from a bad pass like that.

That's because they won't start a game before noon local time, but the question is why have a West Coast game be the first game? No idea.Also no idea how FIFA ****ed up the scheduling this bad for today. Why is the USA and Australia playing a game that is a horrible start time for both countries involved? Why isn't Morocco Scotland the first game because that actually would be

These things are determined before the draw even takes place - years in advance. We already know that C2 will play C4 at 00:00 Central European Time on 19th of July before we even know that C2 is Morocco & C4 is Scotland


Getting the full Sergino Dest experience in these first ten minutes.


USA #1


First time Australia tried to spring a press... goal USA


OG strikes again


utilize speed wide, get behind them

lmao turkey


Owen Goal running away with the Golden Boot.


McKennie has been the best player so far. Pretty clearly.


It has been a great start to the game by the USA against Australia.


Aussies have some pretty good ideas going forward.

OG strikes again

MVP behind Brunson


Norway's Erling Haaland is the first player to score twice on their World Cup debut since... Elijah Just for New Zealand on Monday, who was the first player to achieve the feat since... Yasin Ayari for Sweden on Sunday, who was the the first to do so since... Folarin Balogun for the U.S. on Friday.

lol


Poch is Russell Crowe.


*shrug* better team is winning. That's the first time in my life I've been able to say that about the USMNT at a WC when we had the lead and I'm in my 40s.

lol

But who was it before that?

I think it's Richarlison for Brazil?

Last one to hold the record before Balogun was Richarlison in 2022 vs Serbia

possibly correct, if the comments are to be believed


Dest cut in on his left and scored a howitzer once five years ago and he's been trying unsuccessfully to recreate it ever since.


irankunda in a footrace with tim ream? yeah thats prob more of what you're looking for here...


We got bad Balo today. I don't expect him to stay on much longer.


I will say that no matter my feelings for Poch (on the slightly positive side of neutral) it really is nice to have the camera pan to our sidelines and to see someone who ostensibly knows what the **** he's doing other than GGG, Bruce Arena's old ass, Jurgen Klinsmann, or Bob "Skeletor" Bradley.


Should... everyone on a yellow get another one if this stays 2-0 into the 90th minute? Odd thing to consider.


I do not get what Poch sees in Berhalter.

He must be a damn good coach... he took spurs to a CL final


Well the last five minutes I guess show why we're not trying to defend more. We're complete ass at it. Got it.
