OT: 2026 FIFA World Cup (June 19 - USA v. AUS / SCO v. MAR / BRA v. HAI / TUR v. PAR)

The player on that own goal needed to find a way to boot it. The ball just glanced in off his shin. If he doesn't touch it then the American player gets to it anyway. Tough play.

Tough play but it still was the worst decision possible, was he trying to sky it over his net, a few feets away?

Should I be impressed by those Americans.....'cause the neophyte in me kinda am...

 

[Redux91]

Lol damn

Everytime the Americans score I get sick to my stomach honestly
Basically how I feel whenever the Leafs score pretty much lol
Just gross

 

[MarkovsKnee]

2-0 USA. Aussies are being overwhelmed. They don't have the speed to keep up with the US.

They have a good team and players playing in good leagues. They don't have elite talent but they'll be a tough team to beat, especially at home.

That being said, Canada has had good results vs the US in recent years.

The USMNT used to be their only national team I could cheer for. We share the same top league and you could see, over the years, MLS starting to produce talent for both countries, which was great. It still does but some things have changed.

U.S. soccer announcers are so annoying, just won’t shut up at all and point out the obvious stuff you’re watching. They should take a cue from British announcers who are not scared of a bit of quiet air.

And Alexi Lalas should be catapulted into the sun, clown

They're fast & determined. Australia can't keep up. US's high press is keeping the Aussies trapped in their own half.

Having said that Paraguay and Australia aren't exactly difficult foes. US should easily win their group.

It's really throwing me that the US coach looks so much like Russell Crowe.

"At my signal, unleash hell."

It's really unlikely to end like that. Lots of games left to play.
