PBP: United States vs Iran; 11/29; 2pm ET

I

I think his arm/shoulder may have been ahead even though his feet were behind. I really wish they tweaked the rule so that you are onside as long as the midpoint of your body or even just some part is behind the last defender

 

Thanks I'm satisfied now I guess

 

treat it as 0-0 at the half… need another goal to go +2 to reduce margin of error..

 

He's basically playing as a second striker in transition anyway.

 

Iran will change Wales style at 2nd half

 

I don’t think either team suck but the US is significantly more talented and need to put Iran away early in the 2nd half.

 

Lalas is so fired up he can hardly speak. Chill, my man.

 

We need the second goal for insurance

 

Keep attacking. Maybe Gio or Brenden for one of our yellow carded MFs. And pray that Tyler does not get another yellow.

 

I dunno… I just think a forward needs to be goal dangerous.

 

US needs to come back out and keep attacking, the goals are there for the taking.

 

And a third so we can win the group when Wales beats England

 

I'm suspicious of that call frankly.

 

We see what we want to see. It looks self-apparent, but here is supposedly the AI output:

1597680442303401984 is not a valid tweet id

They can make these decisions w/ little inaccuracy with this technology. They do it in tennis too.

 

Don't you dare jinx this!

 

DO.NOT.BACK.OFF!

Keep this energy up for another 45. Dip deep, please!!!!

 

Can't be. The ball has chips, sensors, gyros, bluetooth, etc. and sends a signal to the field computers so that they have an image of the exact moment kinetic energy is applied (i.e., the pass goes out) and the computers determine the line of sight too with side-field sensors.

So, yeah, we may hate it but I was reading about it (when the goal happened) and AI is actually refereeing these games:

It's a matter of time until they get rid of human referees. And, as we all know, computers make no mistakes ( ).

 

Sub in a 6'5" guy?

 

He was probably microscopically behind the defender, looked like one of those calls. There's no reason to think the tech got it wrong this time just because.

 

GET THE SECOND!!!!

 

I’m watching from Ireland. I have the local feed on the flat screen, the US feed on my phone, and you guys on my computer. All from my treadmill/desk. With Pinot. The US feed is a minute ahead so I keep the corner of my eye on it to know what to expect on the big screen. If it’s good, I can get in the best position to appreciate it. If it’s bad…I get another glass of wine.


Finish this, guys!!!

 

I would agree if that's true. But how do you know he took a concussive shot to the head? I couldn't tell frankly. And I'm quite in tune to head injuries I think.

Edit: CP doesn't come back out for 2T so maybe the concussion theory is more likely. Hmm.

 

He did against Wales too in the first half. And was good against England. The one thing that's been pretty consistent is his subs have been either late or bad, and that goes back to when he took the job. I'd make a change at the half, maybe two if Pulisic is feeling it.
