I don’t often get pre-match predictions right, but when I do… Moore and Johnson must start the rest of the games. Bizarre decision to try to go small ball and lightweight against a team like the US.
Got to be worrying for the US that they played 48 minutes against a team who didn’t show up at all and couldn’t get out of their own half and managed one shot on goal and ended up being outshot for the game. I’d have been happy with a point before the game and would have bit your hand off for a point at half time.
I agree with Jim about Pulisic, he’s great for a couple plays a game but goes missing far too often to be considered world class and with those dead ball deliveries, might as well just take short corners and free kicks. Aaronson was good when he came on and Adams was outstanding, but when all is said and done I think that is probably two poor teams who will be out to the first decent team they play in the next round if they get through.
