I wonder if there’s any analytics on the importance of an early save to get the keeper in the game of if that’s just some bullshit lots of people say for no reason.
Belgium probably should be up 1-0.
They are now. Bad clearance by Freeman.
And now they are.
Us getting torn open.
Nice pressure.
1-0 Belgium.
Back line looked hapless.
There’s no “should” in football, in fact if often happens that a team has multiple shots on goal and then receives a goal in their own.
ETA: Goes to show what I know.
Oh really, sometime shots go in and sometimes they don’t? I wasn’t aware.
Hehehe, no the saying is “The goals you don’t make in the opposite goal, get made in your own”.
Basically it means, “wasting too many opportunities is not just wasteful, but dangerous”
When the US turns it over deep in Belgium’s end, they’re doing a good job of pressing Belgium to force the long pass.
But then they’re losing all the 50-50 balls and getting pinned back in their own half.
Other than looking shitty on defense and shitty on offense, US looks pretty good.
The hydration break cannot come soon enough for the US team.
For whatever reason I can’t connect to Fox One on the Roku Channel so I can’t even watch the fucking game.
Midfield looks hapless. You can’t always look for a pass, sometimes you have to move.
I disagree, their midfield is even worse.
Well, the bench is fine.
I love TV sports announcers. In all of human history they have said more stupid things than everyone else combined.
That was me being snarky to Frodo, not something Holden said. But I mostly agree.
I keep thinking the ref is Michael Bradley.
