    Well, I like the performance. Though I don't like that my prediction this morning was something like "The US fails to hold a 1 goal lead and goes out 1-1."

    And I hope Pulisic is okay. Hell, my voice has gone up an octave as a result of that one.

    Sitting at a bar in the airport, walked up just after the Pulisic goal. When Weah "scored," the bar lit up. Surprised so many are paying attention.

    I requested days off for group stage games months ago, trying to work through this would’ve killed me.

    Is Adams out for the next game, or was that his 1st yellow?

    Just his first according to the commentators. As I recall McKennie, Dest, and Ream have one.

    So Pulisic off. Aaronson on.

    What's got to happen for Reyna to get run time?

    There is no simple pass on that play. His play there was a shot on goal, not a pass.

    Something must be wrong with him. I can't understand why he can't get a game.

    I have not been impressed with Dest's decision making throughout the World Cup.. Almost makes me wish Yedlin was playing over him.. Almost.

    Iran is definitely looking like a much better offensive team since the goal. The US... Maybe taking the foot off the gas a bit, or feeling the loss of Pulisic.

    Since Acosta came on, probably somebody needs to die.

    According to the Iranians, they brought on their best attacker.

    If he is their best attacker, why was he on the bench?

    I think Dest and Robinson have been sensational so far today. They are basically playing as wing backs.
