plumimagine if costa rica held on to that lead tho, would be an insane group upset
Hell yeah, I was hoping it would somehow end like that. If 2-1 Costa Rica held both Germany and Spain get knocked out. Probably would have been the biggest group upset in history.

Can't wait for USA vs NETHERLANDS. 10:00 AM TOMORROW!
Predicting 1-1 Tie and USA takes it on penalties
Really has been a great World Cup so far with the group stages done. Lots of surprises and upsets along with some major disappointments. My bracket still has hope, I got 10 out of 16 teams correct.

The South Korea vs Portugal game was such a fever dream with the stakes involved to get into the top 16. Well done to my SK brothers and sisters!
That assist by Son, absolute masterclass. Feels a little bad for Uruguay though, missed quali by the skin of their teeth.

MoermanThe Netherlands beat the champions of Azia, champions of Africa, and champions of na/ma. South America (Argentina) next?

USA was just outclassed today IMO. We were good and had huge possession but NED never abandoned the defensive strategy and had very few holes. Really well designed strategy and executed solidly. A few breakdowns but overall NED were good and both transition goals were really nice. 3rd NED goal was just a blown coverage from our back line.
USA team badly lacks finishers. I love this team and how we are progressing. We are young, fast and have a solid team going forward but unless we can find some true finishers we will always remain outside the "elite" of the world.
I still think if Pulisic gets that first goal early the whole game would have been so much different for us. Instead of chasing everything for most of the game we could have calmed the attack down a little. How the fuck was that missed, he had the whole left side of the net to shoot. I spilled my coffee all over myself this morning when that happened.

Terrible offense and worse defense from USA. Turner was getting visibly upset that his defenders were leaving him open, even though Turner had some brilliant saves. Flabbergasted that Pulisic didn't bury the ball with such a golden opportunity. Same for Wright who would've had a great opportunity but fucked himself with a terrible first touch. Hopefully this team comes back way stronger on American soil and finds strikers who can actually take the shot.

You can't understand how unbelievably happy I am when I see Trippier not starting :))))

Easily the best day of matches so far in the tourney. Both matches were so fucking good.
Will France vs England live up to the hype?? Does Morocco have another miracle in them??
Will Ronaldo be benched again??
Going to be fun to watch and just hope we get another set of great games tomorrow.
