Probably will come down to who loses "better" to England unless the US can get a tie or a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, he was about to score since the goalie was still way out of the net. Smart use of the yellow card there. Disappointing given how well we played in the first. I watch soccer once every four years but are the refs always that bad? The guy was so inconsistent - also the constant flops make soccer look silly.

H2O Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 That ref likely cost the US the game with just the disparity in foul calls. Some of those yellows. It just affected the flow of the game so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming a win against Iran and loss against England, it may come down to goals for/against? It’s not horrible. But due to the order of matches I think a win against Wales was more critical than normal. Here is the issue…assuming the chalk scenario in match day 2 (Wales beats Iran, England beats US) it leaves us needing an England team that’s already qualified and will be resting their players to get a win v a Wales team playing for their lives on the 3rd match day. And possibly even for England to win by several goals to help us in a goal differential tiebreaker with Wales. That’s a bad spot to be. What we need to root for Friday imo, other then the obvious of getting a result v England, is for an Iran win. In that scenario we would control our own destiny match day 3. Second to that an Iran Wales draw would at least mean Wales would need to beat England not just tie to guarantee we are eliminated. Failing to get points v England and a Wales win Friday means we don’t control our fate. We would then need an indifferent England to beat Wales, and for the US to beat Iran, and also to win the goal differential tiebreaker. That would be an awful position going into match 3. Unfortunately that’s also the most likely outcome of match 2. To put it in mathematical terms our chances to get out of group went from about 85% to 40% when Zimmerman gave up that penalty. The World Cup is an unforgiving event. One mistake often can do you in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 This isn’t a great segue from that, but hello from Paris. Flew out of Dulles last night and landed here 8 am local. Didn’t really sleep on plane so will be crashing as soon as can get into the hotel room. Visiting my youngest who is on a semester abroad here. 45 and rain. Doesn’t matter - walking around Paris in the rain is awesome. First time here (hell, first time in Europe). happy thanksgiving week to you all. Even the weird trolls. Well, not that snowman guy. was fun to read the upper air disco in the long range thread just now. More of that good news please and thank you. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
