Although, to argue with myself, I guess the best team does usually tend to win in soccer. I guess this is more like basketball where a top team could have a rough first half and be losing by 10, only to exert their will in the second half and come back. If the US is truly superior to Wales, they'll get the next goal in this game and put it away.Have the game on in the background. Sure looks like we are dominating. In American football, we'd be up at least 14-0 or more with that kind of dominance. Sucks that one fluke and Wales could tie it. We'll have to get another goal to put this one away.

That last free kick as extra time was winding down left me a bit perplexed. With so little time left, why not just send the ball into the goal box and see what happens? They really didn’t have time to set up a cross from the side.That was a pretty good performance. I thought they were going to get one in.
Grumpy old man, soccer in this country has won.In other news, the paint on my wall is almost dry.
Don’t care, I will be long dead by the time that happens, so others can watch the boring game.Grumpy old man, soccer in this country has won.
As measured by ‘favorite’ sports, it’s more popular in this country than hockey, and a generation or two from passing, sadly, baseball.
Very 1997 of you, grumpy old man.Don’t care, I will be long dead by the time that happens, so others can watch the boring game.

They did. Not so optimistic for our game with Iran.It becomes crucial to at least draw with England Friday, so that England is playing for something next week against Wales.
Iran got pantsed by England today but they’re better than that. Perhaps they’ll do the pantsing of Wales Friday.
I was thinking it would come down to US and Wales for the second knockout spot. Turns out, I was very off.They did. Not so optimistic for our game with Iran.
If our players love freedom then they had better wipe the floor with Iran. I will be ashamed of them if they lose.I was thinking it would come down to US and Wales for the second knockout spot. Turns out, I was very off.
I have the same expectations as you for Iran

It is true. That seems to be a key missing ingredient for the US. We don't have that one guy who is always a threat to put it in the back of the net like some of the powerhouses do.I don’t care about the coaching search or the crappy basketball result last night.
Let’s score a g-d goal, and score it early.
How does a high-end scorer get developed?
USMNT has so many athletes born overseas to military families — but they’re always excellent defensive midfielders or backs. Give me one that can apply pressure and put it in the back of the net!
Maybe we need some bases in Brazil to deal with the Venezuelan threat.
Ricardo Pepi shows promise, but I guess he wasn't quite good enough for the World Cup (although he played during qualifiers).I don’t care about the coaching search or the crappy basketball result last night.

US doesn't go through with a draw, right? Must win?As promised, US has been totally ball-dominant.
Correct. Must win.US doesn't go through with a draw, right? Must win?
Right. And Iran needs only a draw provided Wales doesn’t upset England.US doesn't go through with a draw, right? Must win?
