I dont think that was a bad strategy. Yes, most teams prefer to control the expense of their energy, but if your strategy is to go against your opponent heavy early on, give them serious beating in the first half and then control the second half, thats okay as well. The issue here is that the coach had zero idea what to do in the second half once Wales changed tactics...

Good goal saving foul by Acosta. Bale was definitely scoring from 50 yards into empty post.

Coach wrote: Mon Nov 21, 2022 10:01 pm @Tx, sentiment aside, the US are merely there for the flight back home. Play like this on Friday and they’ll have more in common with Iran than they ever imagined. Thumped.

They will not play like this on Fri

This was down to player and manager inexperience.

It was a bad strategy. You have to conserve energy.

Hopefully the Mighty US of A will offer up the same dross on Friday. Have Sterling as outside bet for leading goal scorer in the group stage.
I wouldn't be so confident about that game if I were you.
Scipio, sorry after that capitulation at the playing of the trump card that is Keiffer Moore, the request for seriousness about the side needs reconsidering. Talented individuals maybe, when clad in their European clubs shirts surrounded by Europe’s elite. As a collective, Championship at best.

Its’s ok bro. The US have a good record against England. How come Gio Reyna didn’t play?

Brilliant tactical adjustments from Wales in the second half, they closed all gaps and make the US tire out from the intensity and pressure of the first half, USA vs England will be explosive

You sound like Alexis Lalas :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: He ran his mouth at halftime and now look. :lol: :lol:

The US is very talented but their inexperience and their coach has cost them this second half! Very difficult to coach an inexperienced team, no matter how talented they are... because they dont know how to control different aspects of the game, they dont know how to handle hardship or control their emotions etc etc. However, a better coach would have squeezed Wales in the beginning of the second half.
Lol. My brother we are saying the same thing. Belhalter took a 90 min nap on the bench. With a little shape & personnel adjustments, they tighten the spaces and keep everything in front of them. Wales had no creativity. Their only bet to score was through a set piece. Poor game management. Wait a minute ... me and Lalas are actually saying the same thing post game :rotf: :woot: :woot:

@Bret, anything other than an absolute clobbering should draw the noose near to Gareth’s neck. The pass completion in the final third from both sides was Luton Town at best. England needn’t make hard work of this Pseudo-Iran.

good 2nd half by the welsh, could have stuffed the us if bale and ramsey turned up, both were not in the game at all
Moore, the game changer in the 2nd half, came in and held the ball well for the welsh
