FIFA WC 26 - Other Nations LIVE Match Thread ⚽

Well they're getting it all right today. They're playing the game and the occasion. A poor attacking opponent so far.

Popovic will see where Paraguay have gone wrong and will try to set up better. I look forward to the game. We'll know a lot more after our first game.

I think Harry was right at halftime, our midfield is key to stopping their attack.

 

[Bbouy]

No he won't. He kept Japan at bay. Twice.

Minute 3:33

If the US play like this against Australia, you guys will get battered.

Christian Pulisic was subbed off at the half for the USA which likely means he'll be playing a full ninety against the Socceroos also.

shame it has to be the most hated nation out of 48

I have zero hate for America, been there more than twenty times and love the place.

Agree depending how defense holds out though.
I’m no park the bus appreciator but got to be.

 

[JS96]

Trust Ream to get sent off and not face Australia.

 

[jas88]

Lol that's harsh

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Tim Ream yellow carded in the 50th minute for the United States for a foul, becoming the first USA player and second player overall to receive one.

But will Australia play like Paraguay?

 

[JS96]

Yellow card rescinded for Ream and Almiron gets it for simulation. Bloody brilliant!!

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

Miguel Almiron yellow carded in the 52nd minute for Paraguay for diving, becoming the second Paraguay player and second player overall to receive one this match, and Tim Ream is let off the hook following VAR review.

 

[Bbouy]

This one result probably guarantees the US to make it through to the R32

 

[Sutherlandbear]

But will Australia play like Paraguay?

They will play anti football.

 

[HappyGuus]

Using VAR to rescind a first yellow, "mistaken identity" almost a loophole there but the Paraguayan player did dive.

 

[jas88]

CARD HIM FOR DIVE

New rules, I’m sure.

We don’t hate America, we just hate many aspects of America and a loud minority of Americans.

 

[rebelliousfeminist974]

They will play anti football.

Even with Tony Popovic playing anti-football if we give Tillman, Pulisic and Folarin Balogun too much space defensively they'll still be able to get past the Socceroos defensive line and find the back of the net.

 

[JS96]

I think Harry was right at halftime, our midfield is key to stopping their attack.

What midfield? If it's Irvine and O'Neill then it's two guys off the pace being complacent.

Aren’t you an Aussie too? I feel like you should be pro-Aussie.
