World Cup 2022 Netherlands v United States, Argentina v Australia - Saturday 3rd

[Saturnblue]

The USA's finishing was awful.

There are all these nippy athletes that are good at dribbling but can't get a shot on target

 

[dcbear]

Xavi Simons just has the face of a wee dick doesn’t he?

But with two eyes.

 

[rossgers]

This tactical analysis from Alex and Micah is absolute horseshit. Buzzwords of the day, setting traps and switching off.

Van Gaal has done a masterclass on a tired US team and they have no insight whatsoever.

[TBagg]

Game over. Big dirty Den.

Swinging his big doonhamer

 

[dt17]

Absolutely no idea how that USA goal went in.

 

[Arkansasgerstill]

Alexis Lalas summary on Fox is spot on.

 

[top_cat]

Holland v Argentina (hopefully)

Should be a cracker.

They need to get some real pundits

 

[Skyy Bluenose]

Reyna's impact on the game should help show Berhalter the door. Seemed to be personal and it cost the US.

 

[PortoyMortoy]

Usa have a good young squad but they desperately need more players who have goals in them, perhaps they can convince the Balogun at Arsenal to play for them because with even just a decent striker and they have a chance of going far deeper in the next world cup.

Did he say Naivetaaay?

 

[rossgers]

Yeah. Where's Danny Murphy when you need him

 

[grinandbearit]

Really enjoyed watching the
A breath of fresh air to the game

 

[Saturnblue]

Cummings will score a stoppage time winner tonight

 

[baystatebear]

The USA lost this game because of the simple fact - they do not at present have a decent recogniseable striker, otherwise they would be looking at the quarter finals. For being the 2nd youngest team in the competition up against an experienced Dutch side containing starters from many of Europe's elite teams, the USA team did much to be pround of.

 

[Skyy Bluenose]

Did he say Naivetaaay?

He just said just that.

 

[dcbear]

Did he say Naivetaaay?

He mainly said that tracking back isnt a difficult concept so you cant make excuses for players losing players they should be marking.

Thought they looked tired physically and mentally. Pressing was lethargic and their defending flat footed. The energy they put into the group games with mainly the same first 11 difficult to keep up. The better squads will come to the fore as usual.

 

[Neilstonger]

Denzil Dumfries. What a name!

 

[dcbear]

Normally I laugh at any post that says we should sign somebody based on a world cup game, but we should be asking Arsenal if we can have a loan of Matt Turner til the end of the season. He's not going to get a chance there.

 

[Arkansasgerstill]

Did he say Naivetaaay?

He did but only after Donovan used it first

Or we should be spotting these players before they are out our reach

Arsenal signed him for 7mil pounds, imagine the outrage on here if we signed a MLS keeper for 7mil pounds.

 

[prenzlauerbear]

Big baws oot Baccus of St Mirren tasked with handling Messi tonight it seems.

 

[FriendsDontLie]

Problem being not a lot of folks watch the mls on here, it’s my favourite league to watch and the standards have and will continue to improve.

I would imagine that in the next 20 years the USA will win the World Cup

 

[FriendsDontLie]

100 on Argentina -2 next up!

Last bet if this fucks up

 

[si72]

Well done Holland sending the yanks home.

Not a chance. They are getting better definitely but they won't win a WC.

 

[inigo]

Reyna looked like he could have opened up the dutch but difficult when you come on at 0-2.

 

[YorkshireBlue]

Put 5live on while I'm cooking to listen to Argentina v Australia and I've got full scale build up to England's game tomorrow.

This is why I want them papped out soon as possible.

 

[SuperAlly1990]

Reina looked like he could have opened up the dutch but difficult when you come on at 0-2.

Reyna.

 

[SuperAlly1990]

Gary Linekar and co talking up Harry Souttar, mentioning about his brother passing away in August.

 

[inigo]

Finally Argentina drop Di Maria.

 

[FriendsDontLie]

Not a chance. They are getting better definitely but they won't win a WC.

There is no doubt in my mind anymore that the so called super wester European countries are going to struggle going forward and the US, Brazil, Argentina, and France will dominate the world cups

To be fair they are entitled to be buzzed up.

 

[Ta Phyra Loyal]

Anyone else hearing a Scottish accent on that big Argentinan journalist?

 

[prenzlauerbear]

Argentina fans really are twats.

 

[TamS-RFC]

Hopefully a master class from the man himself in his 1000th game.

 

[crookie_bear]

Mon the Aussies

 

[Iloverangers87]

Argentinian number 7 looks like Kent

Is France not a Super Western Country?

 

[Iloverangers87]

Anthem is different to how I remember it in other comps. Used to be a great instrumental or am I making that up?

 

[HowdenEnder]

Cummings belting out the anthem.

Fair Dinkum!

 

[James19]

Tony Vidmar there.

He's about as Australian as me!

 

[Iloverangers87]

Tony Vidmar there.

Thought I Recognised him

 

[dcbear]

World cup needs less boring defensive teams from countries that dont care about football, so come on Argies, hump the convicts.

 

[Georgethegersfan]

Argies will pish this
