Mrs has watched now a grand total of 2 hours of football in her life and suddenly she's an expert telling me to stop swearing when Matt Ryan gets subbed on?!
To make it through from 3rd, you needed a win and positive goal difference. Essentially, you had to really kick one team's arse in your group to atone for your 2 losses.
Irankunda has always been a player with an extra 10 years of football intelligence and experience in his head. He is composed on the ball, reads the game and positions well and knows when the ball needs to be hit. Honestly, when he has the ball, I just get infected with his confidence.
Beach put in one of the best individual world cup performances I have even seen in our shirt. Even if there was some rotation strategy behind it, that has to get thrown out the window because you can't drop someone after that performance.
I try so hard to respect any opposition but that US midfield has 3 players that went through Leeds - 1 bang average and 2 bloody useless and got us relegated. So that makes it hard.
But yeah I think we'll need to tighten up to have a chance against USA because nobody usually lets two goals in...
