Maestrobjwa Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Wow, that was probably the longest I've ever stayed with a futból game...lol Probably the first goal I ever watched live too! I was surprisingly entertained...Although I still can't stick with it on a regular basis, lol But the stakes (and a little bit what was going on politically) made it kinda thrilling!

He treated both sides equally, a fair game. I don't think we will here any complaints about the ref from either Iran or the US. I never thought I could hold my breath for 9 minutes.

So many flops and falls that could have been called penalties and really fuck US up We are making progress. When we are playing well we can attack and possess with a technical ability we never had before. But…we don’t have good strikers so we fail to convert enough attacks into goals which makes every match a struggle. On top of that we have several players not fully fit and no depth so seeing out close matches is ugly and scary. Those are just real limitations this squad has. But for periods when healthy they can play very good soccer that we weren’t capable of in years past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gave a very good 11 but we need to have more options to see out a match or in the event of injuries and card suspensions. If we can develop a handful of bench options the same quality as the current best 11 we could make a legit run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s early, but I think they should have the expectation of at least quarterfinals if not semis in 2026. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LP08 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Does anyone know if Gio Renya is hurt/or in the doghouse? I know he can’t play striker (Sargent had some moments today) but he has to find a place in the game. Along with Aaronson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the one hand they’re one win away from the quarters right now. And I don’t think it’s out of the realm that they pull it off. But on the other hand it’s really dangerous to set hard expectations on a World Cup unless you’re truly “elite” level like Brazil and Germany (although even they’ve fallen on some harder times recently). So much is down to luck. So few matches. One goal often makes all the difference. But I think we should be at a level by 2026 with the current player pool where that kind of run is not considered some crazy fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a GGG fanboy myself BUT applying all known facts it seems the most likely scenario is he isn’t healthy. lets add it all up. GGG is very close with Reynas family. He clearly rates the kid and started him when healthy every opportunity. And it’s just flat ridiculous that anyone would rate Morris or even Aaronson over Reyna, even if you think GGG is a bonehead, that’s just next level stupid. Like how could that person remember to breathe stupid. Also Reyna has been injured about 75% of the time the last 2 years! Yes GGG banished Brooks for some obvious personal reasons but Brooks is aging, slow, made several costly mistakes, and was on the way out anyways. That’s not close to the same as benching a young star that’s likely to be a central figure for the next decade (if the kid can stay healthy). Add all that up and the most logical explanation is he just isn’t fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They think its more exciting? There was some quote about wanting to actually play 90 mins. This might help stop the time wasting and fake injuries if they actually add on the time wasted. It can get REALLY bad. I’ve seen matches where a team wasted 15 mins of the second half and they only added a few mins of extra time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
