Question About USA Vs England Match (0-0 Final)

[TuscanyTile2]

Did the offense feel like it let down the defense?

[Jetlife33]

Win vs Iran and they move on. Today was a good outcome. 
 

 

[JustEndTheSuffering]

I think they feel pretty good about a tie with England. 

[FlightBoyz]

Wild atmosphere at the bar today. I'll take the tie

[WhartonJet]

Soccer?  I take it you already watched all of the paint dry at your house and had nothing else to do?

Did the crowd go crazy when the kicks didn't go into the net?

[Greensleeves]

Great result for us. They played a really impressive game I thought. They were a shot off the cross bar away from probably winning. Although you never know what would have happened if they scored on that play. Our guys look really fast and confident for the most part. We just need to finish next game against Iran.

[GreenFish]

What a great game. So intense. I thought we played equally well on both sides. England had opportunities and so did we.

Side note: we watched the futbol game at an outdoor location. Naturally, we took a football to throw around at intermission. My throwing mechanics are better than Zach’s. And that was with people moving and walking all around me. I kept my eyes on the receiver.

Are you expecting an offensive explosion of 1 goal?

I caught a wonderful nap.

I've tried many times to get into soccer and I just can't.

I agree. Harry Kane was the best player on the pitch. But, in totality, we were as good as England. I didn't expect that.

We’re the youngest team in the tourney. Really promising.

you better believe I am! ? Pulisic is really impressive - get him more touches somehow. 

[The Crusher]

I’ll move this to the participation trophy forum, 

[Ghost420]

They missed a few good opportunities but the game that matters is vs Iran

I don't know why this bothers me, but it does.

[Beerfish]

Iran got thrashed by England but they are not going to be an easy game.  They can score.

[JetsYanks13]

Great game today, very good game today. USA needed to score in the 2nd half when they had a bunch of corner kicks. After that run, they played well, but they couldn’t make that one pass to set up a striker to score. In any event, they pitched a shutout against a European opponent for the first time since the 50’s. USA USA USA!!!

I heard Pulisic isn't talking to himself

All jokes aside, Pulisic had an awesome game today. Next game, he needs to put a few in the back of the net.

Absolutely poor performance from England, seen that too many times over the years. Laboured and uninventive. US were much more dynamic. Onto Wales ?.

Not a soccer fan.   I watched the first few minutes.  All I could think of was this:

Just because we made up a scoring system that 1 somehow = 6 (extra point for 7), doesn't mean American football is some high-scoring spectacle. We say 35 - 28, but that's really a churched up 5 - 4. Quite frankly, I'm surprised any Jets' fan can be condescending about offensive scoring after what we've put on the field for the last two decades.

They followed Zach’s offensive game plan.

Now Basketball on the other hand...

We shut Harry Kane down except for his last minute header that went 4 feet wide and a good pass or 2.

Shut him down..  Very impressive performance.

That sums it up. Southgate has this tendency to play it ultra-safe and defensive, which is going to be a disaster against the top teams going forward. He needs to unleash the dogs. US has the speed of youth, which is refreshing, but they're going to struggle if they make it to the round of 16. They're decent but not in any sense an elite team.

Agreed...the fail was allowing Wales to dominate in the 2nd half and force a tie.

[Barry McCockinner]

Pretty sure we haven't had to worry about England since 1783. We are literally undefeated against them.

[greenwave81]

I'm sure the World Cup organizers were laughing their asses off when the US and Iran (not to mention England) ended up in the same group.  There is a history here.

England has also never beaten the US in the World Cup.  So this is accurate!

This would be roasted by the purists, but I've long wondered how a dynamic scoring system in soccer would enhance the game.

6 points for a regular action goal

1 point for a penalty kick point after attempt

3 points for a goal resulting directly from a set piece such as a free kick, corner kick, or penalty kick

I think it definitely adds an interesting wrinkle.
