His finishing is so good, he and Cal are two guys where if they're through one on one you just know it's a goal. Isak on that list too of course, crazy after so long of having nobody that can finish.

Shit signing right? Could have had a fucking hat trick off the bench tonight if he wasn't such a team player

This fucking guy

You guys have had such an easy bracket. Australia is going to be a rude surprise.

Holy fuck! Our bench doesn't have any shit players on it!

Very disappointed this isn't available in the US. I heard there's a rights issue so it won't be available here at all. Weak. Sauce.

We are going to murder them, 4-1.

Can't fucking wait for this. Don't care who starts, everyone on the fucking team is golden.

Does that leave us enough fullbacks available off the bench? I get a little nervous without the usual five or six.

"How'd you like to sign a winger who defends well and scores 10+ goals a season?" "No thanks, he sounds shit."

It's not like they're buying houses there. They'll be off in holiday or back home every break and just there during the season. It's not like they even have to stay fit for that league.

If it makes you guys feel better, the US looked awful against Vietnam as well.

Wow, some great finishes there, looks absolutely clinical. The 1v1 that starts at 1:04 was just absolutely savage.

Yeah definitely both. He's a world class specialist, unfortunately his specialty is dribbling which is not the most useful specialist. That's already a complicated case, then he's also one of those players who is world class if they're fit and give a shit - and of course those players, universally, are usually not. If they usually were fit and giving-a-shit they'd just be world class players, without the "if". So yeah he's a really fucking good specialist in a not-that-useful specialty, he can turn it up and be better but he usually doesn't. He's a good premier League player at the end of the day, but not a great one. That doesn't move a lot of data though, so the tendency is to say he's amazing or he's shit. In reality, he's a'ight.

They roll them up dude. It's 100% intentional, a fashion choice.

He'll be perfect at Spurs, good but not quite ever really great.

Beautiful thing about being a US soccer fan, I could record the game and watch it today and didn't have to worry at all about spoilers - nobody gives a fuck

CONCACAF refs are insanely bad. It doesn't help that they all hate the US either lol. I guess the guys from Canada would probably be alright for us, but I can't tell you how many times we've been fucked by tiny Ecuadorian dudes.

Yeah I feel like people are ascribing a certain tone to Richarlison's reply there too. Throw a laugh on the end of that and he's just getting in on the joke with them, you know? One of those moments where text is a tricky medium. Or he's a cunt, whatever.

Yeah that was insane. Ref was clearly biased for Manchester United in my opinion, saw so many soft fouls go their way. Luckily they fucking suck and it didn't matter.

I was still nervous 5-0 up on Spurs

Nice chair deflection by the cop at the end there. I mean, he's no Waffle House manager, but that was solid.

I'm excited for this. New baby due to arrive in a week or so, this will make perfect "up in the middle of the night" viewing.

I don't think Bruno would want to leave, and I don't think the club would sell him for $100m either, but I'm not even that worried about it because the big difference now is that we would actually spend that fucking money instead of stuffing it in the fat man's garter. Nobody, not even Bruno, is irreplaceable in sports, and even if we did sell Bruno, which we won't, it wouldn't be an automatic disaster.

Aren't they also building an entirely new facility at a different location? IIRC they did a quick revamp of the existing facility to hold them over until the new facility could be completed in a few years' time.
