America vs. Spain: 29-28

I couldn't care less about their little calculations. To me, this whole thing is just shameful, whether they did it on purpose or not. We really need to beat these Brits, and then maybe we can take on the Germans.

Honestly, those kinds of math equations usually end up biting you in the ass ☕

Everything worth noting was just Alivic making 11 saves.

Pure math. Classic.

Works for me. I'll catch it a day later.😬

Good to see Mike finally found his rhythm and Joe’s actually showing signs of life again. We got exactly what we needed out of this game.

Good grief, they're coming for us

I mean, what exactly is so shameful about it? We might as well just enjoy our downtime, right?

Exactly. If the matchup against the Czechs was designed just for them to fine-tune their aim, then this one is strictly for Zomba and Alilovic.

Mike knows how to handle these rookies; he’s stripping the ball from them like they're low-hanging fruit.

We're falling behind by five points🤣
We really need this win.

Raymond Palmer8 said:I mean, seriously, the announcer on ESPN just doubled down and insisted it was "the first of three channels, and the only double one to make it through"???
maybe his eyesight isn't what it used to be?

man, he's clueless... clearly if you listen to him, he thinks they were testing things with their left hands instead of right🙏

We really need to pull off a win on this one.

They know exactly what they're doing... don't sweat it too much.🙂

If it wasn't for Alilovic, we would've been looking at a tenth loss... I just don't get one thing, why on earth did the key player for Team USA even start the game? Even if it was only 14 minutes, that still wears you out no matter how little it seems, especially when you still have training sessions and preseason prep ahead of you... Linus could've just told him to go get some sleep and we'll see you Tuesday. This is just pointless. It didn't really save him much and you can tell he's exhausted. Better to save his energy and let Lackovic play instead, since he doesn't seem nearly as wiped out considering he's playing strictly as a forward.

hey there, political junkie, is that you???

And why exactly is that?

Why even bother winning? This game is completely irrelevant. It’s actually a perfect chance for Peter and John to get some rest while the bench players find their rhythm.

It feels like our World Cup run doesn't even start until the quarterfinals.

Honestly, if I had the choice, I'd much rather face Iceland than the Frenchmen in the quarterfinals.

Mirko is actually showing some real potential here—I'm thinking we might see a bit of a shift in how they play once the second half kicks off.

grabs things like an octopus
soars like a condor
🤣🤣

Just a heads-up, we might still have the Frenchmen coming our way even if we drop this one—say, if Canada pulls an upset against the Poles.

nah, I didn't mean the same idiot... I meant PBS rather than NPR... my bad—

It’s looking like we're about to take a massive hit on 😬. Honestly, that last game was a complete joke, and we looked pretty rough in three of the PM slots too. But then again, it's not like we were even giving it our all, right?

I haven't really kept up with how things are shaking out in the other group. From what I can tell, it looks like we're headed to Iceland 😬

nah 😬

Even if it's only been 14 minutes, that kind of running wears you down, especially when you factor in all the heavy training sessions and preseason prep they've had to endure.

Exactly. And I’m sitting here wondering what they even call "resting" if he's expected to be out there on the field ready to go every single time. 😕
