The first update from the hospital :
"He is conscious and could handle a conversation."
Reasonable first game for the US. If Pepi could finish they would have scored at least a couple more. Bolivia is not in any way even a decent team though.
Pepi could have had three or four, really poor finishing from him. Pulisic looked terrific. Weston looked like someone forgot to tell him he needed to do conditioning during the offseason. Jedi was outstanding.
Should have been at least 4-0, not unreasonable to think they could have had five or six. Hard to tell anything about that game though, Bolivia was awful and severely overmatched.

I think even if Italy does not score they still probably make the 1/8. Since at 1-0 they were already better than Hungary as 3rd place.

Group C ends with two scoreless draws, meaning only one of the six games played in that group was decisive. They scored a total seven of goals in those six games, the lowest of any group (even the ones that have only played four games). Only one goal scored in a second half. Just eliminate all of them for being boring as f***.
England's reward for barely winning their cakewalk of a group is a cakewalk to the semis. They'll get a 3rd place team from group A, B, C, or D in the round of 16, then the winner of Austria vs (probably) Turkey in the semis. Is it just me or does England always seem to get the easiest draws in big tournaments? When was the last time England was in a group of death?

Southgate makes Berhalter look like Sir Alex Ferguson. Good lord they are awful to watch. Just a crushingly boring and lifeless team with zero energy or spunk.

That actually was a really good game...against Holland no less, which is a soccer power in Europe.
Guys I'm going to say something, and I might get eviscerated for it in some quarters, but I have to say...
I HATE this new trend of having female commentators at the big soccer tournaments.
It really ruins the experience for me.
And I'm a pretty woke guy, I really am, but some traditions should not be messed with.

Didn't see the game but from everything I've absorbed about English national team footie it's the biggest pressure cooker imaginable and if you f*** up you're pilloried practically for life, so they're all probably too scared to let loose.
There’s one who I find to be very good but no one beats Ian Darke for me. I’m sure there are others who are objectively better at calling the games but it’s always special to have Darke on the call.

Watch the Beckham series if you haven't already. If they can do that to him...

CONCACAF shithousery so far between Panama and the US. The US gets a goal disallowed early, Panama inexplicably escapes a card on a dirty shot against Turner, Weah gets tossed for striking an opponent in the head to get a red card, and Flo Balogun just hit an absolute piss missile to give the US the lead.
And Panama just equalized on a lucky deflection. All in the first 26 minutes.
