Deuce

Oh my. My oh my. This Costa Rica team is the weakest in years, but christ on a bike.

right?

Makes the decision to splash on wor Sven all the sweeter.

Their supporters are class as well. Never a pissed-up dickhead among them.

No he’s not ffs

How long have these kits been public? FIFA couldn’t say anything months ago?

We usually turn up with a decent kit, too. It’s the least they can do if we’re not going to amount to much either way.

It would kill time wasting, which is good or bad depending on whether you consider it an essential dark art of the game.

Why would they shorten the match? Nobody’s clamoring for that as far as I can tell.

Should just stop and start the clock for stoppages of play.

tbf

Joe’s a sweaty little freak

I think U.S.-England is likelier to be nasty from our fans’ perspective. You’ll have a few dickhead Yank fans who try to make the Iran match political, but I don’t think there’s any real ill will there. We’ve only ever played them twice before.

gonna be mad forever about that fucking foul

Really feels like we’re missing a mean streak in this team. Lot of energy, but you need a bit of nastiness at times. Missing the likes of Dempsey, Bradley, Jermaine Jones.

Thought our passing was decent, but all very direct with very little movement off the ball and no anticipation of the through ball. Zimmerman and Ream were solid enough, but all it took was one stupid foul to drop the 2 points. We didn’t need a win, but we’re in big trouble if Wales take anything from Iran. Not having a true striker is going to hurt. Would kill for wor Callum up top.

Fucking goddammit

Wales much better now they’ve decided to play football

He talks too much.

Zimmerman has been lights out through the air

Hhhhrrrrnngggggggh

Ream-Zimmerman CB pairing have the combined turning radius of an aircraft carrier. He is in form, but yeah it’s pretty slim pickings. I wonder if Weah or Pulisic starts centrally with Sargent out right.

U.S. really need 3 points against Wales.
