I'm not sure what there is out on this so far. I ran into the U.S. soccer statement on Facebook....
Look again. There was someone else on the same man as Musah. He wouldn't have been leaving someone unmarked if he had moved to the middle sooner...
An idle thought I've been having is, which group standings would you rather have going into matchday 3? ENG 6 / Wales 2 / USA 1 (-1 GD) / Iran 1...
Based purely on rankings, setting aside style of play, the teams I want to avoid are Wales and Peru, both of which are pot 2 level squads. The...
This isn't consistent with the mid-season advanced keeper stats that were posted over the summer. At that time, Turner was ranked ~3rd in MLS in...
I don't think that is all my argument comes down to. "Out of the next game" goes along with "standing up for his teammates in a scuffle." All...
Subs were up, including Chris Richards who may have been intended to take out Robinson, at the moment the second caution happened.
I thought the style of game he called was largely to the U.S. benefit. He allowed a very physical game, without ticky-tack fouls, which favored...
To ESPN's credit, they moved the football game and had USA-MEX from kickoff, though with essentially no pregame.
Are you confusing McKennie's with someone else's? McKennie was cautioned in the scrum where Aaronson got face-raked. I'd argue that it was...
Shouldn't Jamaica be credited for the win at Honduras? Assuming I understand this right, they'd still be even because they matched our result.
Shouldn't Honduras be -3?
I thought it looked like he failed to track a run and/or got caught on the wrong side of him (then surprisingly wasn't able to make up ground from...
Are you taking his ole act on the goal into account?
It's certainly not three wins, because that would be 9 pts. It's 1.5 wins if the rest are draws. It's two wins exactly if there is one road...
The eponymous line referred to Ralston not being good enough for the national team, so I don't think Lletget is really a good analog. Lletget has...
It's noteworthy, in light of some of the discussion upthread, that Turner has the highest score on Claiming in the metric (and I also found it...
I think the way it was flagged was at least close to how they want it done for VAR---they want to let the play finish and then review for offsides...
If that's the one I think it is, it should count in the stats because the flag never went up (presumably because Turner made the save anyway).
If I remember right, that first "road" game will be in the U.S. So, no question it's a great opportunity to get off on the right foot, and I...
That's fine when the must-win is the first or third game, but I'd argue that in the first window, the most important game is the second (at home...
I stand corrected. In my admittedly cursory background research for my comment, I didn't find an exception mentioned, but it makes sense given...
To the bolded, no, it wouldn't. You would have been out of sub stoppages after your 60 minute sub, if I understand the rules correctly. That was...
I don't know about a consensus, per se, but the reporting is that it was a decision made in consultation with Green and/or his club; it's implied...
It was called on McKenzie, not Brooks. There was clear ball-to-hand contact that affected control of the ball. Before this year, I would have...
