Yes, if Pusilic isn't too banged up. Sargent is questionable and would hope Berkhalter gives Aaronson and Reyna more time too. He needs to keep Wright off the field, he was absolutely atrocious at the end of the Iran game. And Berkhalter also needs to tell Weah to concentrate on just putting the damn shot on target instead of trying out as a field goal kicker.

Itโs going to be tough but we were certainly the better team against England. Defense and midfield doing a great job but the way the second halves have gone against Wales and Iran is concerning . Our subs in those games made an impact but not a positive one.

Nice story---sounds like a very enjoyable adventure.
How far is Aberdeen from Aberfeldy and Loch Tae? Stayed across from the loch for a couple of weeks while attending a wedding many years ago.

YOLO View Attachment I think you will be alright...definitely no need to head back anytime soon...down 2-0 at the half...time to start planning for 2026 in Mexico, Canada & USA.

Ohhh Pulisic, 3 minutes in, what does the game look like if you score there? The US had their really good moments and definitely some chances but also some real poor moments that totally cost them. Adams jogging back on the first goal while the eventual goal scorer sprints ahead forward and Adams doesn't react and we're only 11 minutes in, not good -- result goal. Dest does a lot of great things for the US, mostly going forward and he wasn't close to his mark who scores the second goal right before the half - killer to give up. And Berhalter -- what the f-ing hell is the deal with starting Ferreira up top? A f-ing horrid decision. Should have been Reyna from the start. And lastly, Wright gets credit for a totally lucky goal but minutes earlier his heavy touches and lack of control gives away a one-on-one against their keeper, a real cringer.

Hope your travels back were on the easy side CS, welcome back! Looked like it was a great time there! Giroud becomes France's national team all-time leading scorer and Mbappe shows who the future leader will be. Ohh... and I'm hoping history repeats itself and Olivier gets his second Cup.

Do we have any players that could start for Brazil, France or Argentina? How far behind are we for 2026?

We have zero players that would start for any of these teams. Best realistic scenario for 2026 is getting to the quarter finals.

Brazil looked razor sharp, they come at you in waves that seem unstoppable when they're on their game. Thought that penalty was a really harsh decision by the referee. I thought the Korean defender was in the process of trying to clear the ball and the attacker came in from his blindside to make a play on the ball. Incidental contact in mind and not worthy of a penalty. Down 2-0 in the first 13 minutes is a huge hole, especially against Brazil.

Two absolutely great games, both Croatia and Netherlands coming back in the last moments to go to PKs. Incredible games.
Hoping tomorrow is half as good!!!
