Qatar Nights - The Winter World Cup Thread

Gakpo driving that price up. 3 goals in 3 games.

 

Wow. Did I hear right that he was a fairly recent addition to the NED first team??

 

For those cycling fans out there...

I just saw Senegal's's PK and did a double take. The name on the incredulous Ecuador defender's shirt was... Hincapie.

p.s. And there he his again, in the huddle after Caicedo's equalizer just now.

p.p.s. I picked a surprisingly good time to tune into this match. Koulibaly just blasts Senegal back into the lead, a minute or two later.

 

England playing better. Awful game vs the us but that was the lineup. Mason mount is trash

USA vs Netherlands of England finish top right? U have the press to trouble them

 

US playing well again. In the lead and in control. A second goal puts this thing to bed.

I'm dying to see Reyna be a part of this.

 

Very, very, VERY nervous about that. We're on a knife edge and haven't been clinical enough. Should be up 3-0 at least. One goal was disallowed for offside which looked quite onside to my eye.

 

Maybe because he sucks?

 

Landon Donovan is, bar none, the worst commentator of any sport that I’ve ever heard. Not only a moron, but low energy too

 

Wales are pretty clearly the second-worst team at this tournament, right? I’m not missing anyone?

 

TIL don't visit the USMNT forum

 

I thought it was Mr. Obvious Laias.

 

I agree but does Lalas call games anymore? I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW ISUFFERABLE LALAS MUST BE AT THANKSGIVING BECAUSE HE CAN ONLY YELL AND TAKE EXTREME POSITIONS ON EVERYTHING

 

Saka benched the whole game, 0 game time to White and Ramsdale, glorious.

Meanwhile a lot of City and ManU and Spurs players got big run outs this tourney.

Harry Kewell during the Australia games hasn't been great...

 

Where is Reyna? Is he not healthy or is Berhalter stupid?

 

He sucks, but he’s not even close to the worst commentator at this World Cup. Unfortunately.

 

now i feel obligated to watch a game with donovan commentating.

worst, for me, at the moment is stacey king. the dream/nightmare combo would be marc jones, stacey king, and ray hudson so king and jones can just scream various catchphrases while doing zero announcing or commentating and hudson can just make noises.

 

i don't know the actual truth but the 2 guys on futbol americas on ESPN FC were just talking about this and how berhalter is saying he's not fit but reyna himself says he is.

 

I haven’t followed the US national team for many years, but this feels like as talented as they’ve ever been yet they can’t manage anything approaching a functional attack. Seems like Berhalter needs to go.

 

It's the biggest bitch-fest conspiracy theory I've seen on BS in a long time. Go to the USMNT board to see the fun.
