Aaronson not starting? The New Jersey Messi should have started this game

[Scipio Africanus]

Weah is a baller. This is his chance to make a statement in this WC. I expect him to grab it with both hands.

I think Wales is the more composed side. They gave Croatia a decent fight in last Euro qualifiers. I've followed them a bit since. Seem like a decent spine with Ramsey, Allen, James. I think they win this game...but I REALLY want to be wrong.

Maybe Bale is an x-factor? Defense is composed and tough, with guys like Davies who you know from Tottenham.

USA will depend a lot on McKennie, Musah, and Adams. If they can posses and dictate some offense, then it falls on Pulisic...who I'm not sold on as a finisher. Withstanding his Croatian heritage.



Come on USA!!! Come on!!!

Not joking...my wife and another Mom have some expertise and think Dempsey is on the spectrum based on his speech and mannerisms.

Dempsey is not autistic, he's just brash. You may be confusing him with Howard, who i believe has Tourettes.

Wales pushing the US around physically.

I know it's 1st few minutes...but USA is possessing. This bodes well. Didn't think we could take the initiative like this.

[Bigpokey24]

this worldcup looking like AFCON as far as the stadiums,,, the thing no full at all

Berhalter's whole coaching philosophy rests on possession. He has taken a lot of heat for this form many US fans, but I think he's on the right track.

[Scipio Africanus]

Wales almost scored a sensational own goal!
