I cannot believe they lost to SA. Wow.

Still, we're 0-0-1 with England up next. Not awesome. I also see that ESPN jinxed us immediately saying, "The U.S. has advanced every time it won or drew its first game."

Me (60 minutes ago): Wow, Germany's attack is so good, why can't we be like them? So much space, opportunities.

Me (now): At least we got 1 point against Wales.

On that 2nd goal, the keeper totally could have stopped it. With his face. But he pulled back.

If the German keeper had played like that, they'd have a point!

USA now has better chance of round of 16 than Germany, according to https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/20 ... edictions/

They logic falters at "Without migrant goals, we'd have a poorer game." No, other countries would theoretically just be better than these countries.

If we win, they have to call it soccer. If they win, we call it football.

Well shit. Not the worst outcome. Honestly, we looked great, but just couldn't score.

Got to beat Iran.
