Anyone else try to use the Fox Sports app? Games on FS1 populate and load fine but games on Fox do not. What shit.
The Telemundo broadcast on NBC Sports app works fine, and I like way they say our players' names, but yeah it's obviously not the same.
I'm using the fox sports app on my shield TV. Working great. 4k on a 142" screen.
Oh cool. The US is winning.
My bad fellas. I started watching
These fucking Welshman cry about every damn thing. Holy shit get the fuck up.
Fuck a tie. Get your shit together kicky ball sport.
The US wouldn't have wanted extra time there anyway. Wales were far the better side since the break.
Our coach is probably our weakest link. He has no idea how to tweak anything or counter a change in opposition tactics or formation. Halfime is just a water break for the US. Hustle and grit can only take us so far absent ideas or adaptability.. which might not be out of the group.
Watch us beat England next.
To be fair, they didn't really need to adjust shit at the half, they dominated the 1st 45. They just made no adjustments after Wales came out swinging. Also, the US looked like they were 4ft tall playing the corner kicks. They couldn't get anything. Idk if they're just short, Wales is tall, or they just suck at set pieces off corners.
We are not a huge threat on set pieces, you're right. Ream is a threat but he's just one. We are the second youngest side (Ghana) at this tournament and play a handful of smaller, shiftier players like Aaronson, Pulisic, Reyna, McKennie and Dest. We depend on creating chances in open play.
However, there is no to be fair here. Any coach worth his weight will go over options to relieve pressure or provide cover for the backline should we start getting pinned back or unable to get on the ball. Any decent coach knows the game will change, (Wales were essentially playing a 4-2-4 throughout the 2nd half) and any decent coach has an idea and tries it. Berhalter has no ideas.
Here we go now
In case you are wondering the official attendance for this match is down as 43,418 on the Fifa website.
The Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium capacity is listed as 40,000.
Argentina loses to Saudi Arabia after 36 games unbeaten. First upset of this wc?!
to the Mexican fan with the terrifying Chucky mask: nice
these commentators be like "so the door is cracked now that Argentina lost"
bitch the door is wide-the-fuck open, blown off its hinges
VAMOOOOOS MEXICOOO
wishfully predicting a comfortable 3-1 win here for Mexico and another group stage exit for Poland
For all the possession and position, Mexico lacked that cutting edge to finish off a move against a team sitting so deep. Poland must be a bit inspired from that first 45 and probably didn't feel greatly troubled at any point. Sit deep when out of possession and be dangerous on the counter and set pieces. They may have the fitness advantage late-on.
However it must be said huge fucking props to the Mexican fans who traveled to this World Cup and have created the first excellent atmosphere so far. You might think it sucks for Poland but their players seem to relish it themselves.
