FIFA World Cup 2022

That ought to be enough for the Netherlands to top the group. I don't see them failing to beat Qatar by more goals than Ecuador could feasibly beat Senegal.

Now here's Roy Keane playing down the possibility of poor team spirit. He'd know nothing about causing trouble at a World Cup.

England are going to win this game. Only by how much is the question. McKennie wasn't even 45 minutes match fit Monday. He has no business starting. Dest isn't fit, but starting. 

I have little hope, or expectation.

[Bobfoc]

Don't underestimate England's ability to cock things up.

I would like the US to do well though I can't shake the feeling that the sooner they're out of the picture the more tolerable Fox's coverage will become.

If Alexi Lalas is there, it won't be tolerable. No matter what.

[Baddar]

McCoist to Dixon is quite the downgrade.

[Szumi]

Even though I'm not optimistic, still, GO USA! Fuck England and...

I’ll never forget Lalas going on the air cutting a promo about the state of Team USA after they failed to qualify last time and it was just the most cringeworthy try-hard shit.

You might be thinking of Taylor Twellman, honestly

That dribble from Harry Maguire is a tournament highlight.

[Bobfoc]

Maguire seems to be far better at attacking than he is at defending.

[Szumi]

Gregg Berhalter has been notoriously stubborn on a positional play 433. No matter what.

Think it's amazing irony to now be in a 44FUCKING2 Engerland style, with a big target man and small speedy second striker up top.

Not difficult, is it?

Matterface critiquing the USA's pre-tournament form is a bit much when they're playing a team who got relegated from a Nations League group where two of the teams didn't even qualify for the World Cup.

And the other may well not be in the World Cup for much longer.

Ball bouncing right before hitting it killed McKennie there. Hits it on the volley and it's probably a goal

USA are making me nervous for England.

That one as well. I'm a nervous mess.

USA doing very well here when they get on the ball. England need to wake up.
