OT: 2022 World Cup Thread

[mildone]

Ugh. So disorganized. We need to change things up or they will score soon.

 

[RU848789]

Turner!!

 

[MadRU]

Panic

 

[rutgersguy1]

Oh man…tale of two halves so far. Whew what a save.

Was thinking the defense looked better than I remember in the past but was wondering if that’s just because we weren’t being pressured. Now Wales is pushing forward and defense not looking as good.

 

[Lerxst72]

they're holding the ball waaaaay too long.

 

[mildone]

I’d put Reyna in to create in the attack. The US must produce an attack.

 

[Tango Two]

 

[MadRU]

Hope Acosta proves me wrong, he never impressed me

It’s because Wales was sitting back and trying to bait the young US players into over committing. This is what I meant when I said our quality was poor in the first half. Even when not pressured, our players‘ touches were pretty sloppy, and our movement was sluggish.

Now that they’re under more pressure, those flaws are much more visible. The US has played much better, but aren’t today, so far at least.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Uh oh thats not good if Pulisic is down.

Good he’s back. He seems like our best facilitator.

We have 3 shots. Lalas is really a caricature at this point.

 

[krup]

Ream has been terrific. Hard to fathom he's only there due to multiple injuries. Turner with nothing to do. I'll take it and run.

Ream has played really well, but this is the game he was brought in for. He has so much experience playing teams who play the offensive style Wales does.

 

[mildone]

These subs are late and should have been done one at a time, eating as much clock as possible. This is some poor coaching.

 

[ru109]

at this point I'd be happy getting out of this match with a 1-0 win.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Oh man..they just can’t put it together in and around the box

I think to get all 5 you have to do it in 3 waves. Could be wrong it is a post covid rule

 

[Lerxst72]

Team dropping like flies.

 

[MadRU]

This Wales kid Brandon Johnson is pretty good. One to watch

 

[mildone]

Sloppy.

 

[RU848789]

wtf was Zimmerman thinking?

 

[rutgersguy1]

Oh man…penalty

 

[RuSnp]

This Wales kid Brandon Johnson is pretty good. One to watch

Wow very silly from zimmerman

 

[MadRU]

Bale

 

[Ronnie_B]

If it's tied after 90?

 

[mildone]

Let’s see if this lights a fire under the US players. We are a better team when we’re attacking aggressively. If we sit back and play for a tie, we will lose.

 

[rutgersguy1]

If it's tied after 90?

Extra time and after that it just goes down as a tie, 1pt for each team

 

[Lerxst72]

Extra time and after that it just goes down as a tie, 1pt for each team

There's no extra time. It'll end as a draw. 1 pt. for each team.

 

[MadRU]

There's no extra time. It'll end as a draw. 1 pt. for each team.

Think he means added time.

 

[rutgersguy1]

There's no extra time. It'll end as a draw. 1 pt. for each team.

Well I don’t mean another period, I might be using the wrong terminology. Basically the injury/stoppage time is what I meant.

 

[dvb91]

Vegas. Jordan Morris coming on.

Not a fan of Yedlin. Basically walked the ball out on one play & just blasted out another to touch when he might've done more, allowing more pressure.

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Extra time and after that it just goes down as a tie, 1pt for each team

I believe that ball was out of bounds in the corner before the corner.

it appeared that the trajectory of the ball curved back in.

We have no excuse but these refs were not ready for this game.

 

[Ronnie_B]

What a minute - is it OT or a tie?

 

[ClassOf02]

What a minute - is it OT or a tie?

Tie. Stoppage time and that’s it.

 

[mildone]

Shoulda been a yellow. But it’s not officiating that’s the problem for the US in this game.

 

[hinson32]

No extra time, it would end in a tie.

 

[MadRU]

What a minute - is it OT or a tie?

No OT, there is added time after the 90 for stoppages delays etc.

Just said 9 minutes added time

 

[RU848789]

What a minute - is it OT or a tie?

9 minutes of stoppage time and if it's tied after that it's a tie - no "overtime" or "extra time" though.

 

[rutgersguy1]

What a minute - is it OT or a tie?

There’s some additional minutes added for injuries and stoppage. But it’s not an extra period.

They just said it’s 9mins.

After that 9 mins if it’s still tied, it’s a draw and both teams get 1pt

 

[zappaa]

The diving and writhing in pain is insane

 

[MadRU]

Players cramping up. A lot of running this game.

 

[mikemarc1]

The diving a writhing in pain is a huge turnoff for me. That and the players arguing for a foul after every physical play.

Just doesn’t help get me into it
