Give the US an ‘A’ for effort. I liked their tenacity and fighting spirit today. They’re not there yet but they can certainly keep working at it
Cheers.

they aren't but I think they are better than Argentina and at the semis as we know anything can happen.danfo driver wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 5:58 pmI'll be surprised if they do. They arent that good, when compared to some very strong teams in the tournament.

Well said sir.
There's plenty of room for optimism.
This is the fastest growing league in the world...

Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

They will face their moment against a tier 1 team.

Exactly why I wanted them out. Lalas is still talking.txj wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 5:59 pmdanfo driver wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 5:57 pm Now, we can hear word!
After beating Iran, Lalas and every single news channel - NBC o! CNN o! Fox o! no gree let us rest. Kept talking about their "young team."
Very tiring...
But believe me it wont stop...
Now looking forward to dumping them out in 2026 on their home soil.

A seasoned Holland? How did you come up with this? By listening to the lies of the Media, who want to calm your fans to believe that you are a "young team?" and Holland is full of Rijkaards, Gullits Van Bastens?
Their average age is 26, yours is 25
You'll be shocked.I don’t believe different tactics and coaching could have made much of a difference.
Team USA went as far as it could given the path. We’ve a few things to work on. But s good foundation. Overall a good WC by the USA.
The difference today, like I predicted a few days ago, is that the Dutch are more intelligent than your coach + team.

They have a ceiling on the talent level, esp compared to other teams. And they are missing Wijnaldum big time in MF.
But they are very adept at playing within themselves.
Remember Argentina in 1990? Yes, they had Diego, but the dutch have a defence...

Lol. So this loss will be motivation for them to get better. Like other teams will not get better. They are talking about youth. This Dutch team for example is not old, the Spanish team is not old, the French team keeps churning players everyday. Camavinga, Tchoumeni, Mbappe etc will be around for a while.
So yeah they should keep talking while I smile. Great way to start the Saturday. Thank you LVG

Sad to see the US go, a side of me wanted them to pull an offset, oh well, they should be readier by 2026

Excellent result. They will be better in 2026 just like any other team that did not have a good WC this time around…. Germany cough cough

The Dutch come from a better football school. There is enough experience from players on big teams. With coaches and staff that are experienced. It shows in the final product…namely in the football IQ and skill of their individuals.danfo driver wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 6:04 pmA seasoned Holland? How did you come up with this?

Yup. So why do you think they will be the only ones better? It’s a feel good statement. If the USA can get better every one too can (that’s the point I am making). Just like it can go pear shaped for everyone just like the US. We can’t assume only the US will be better.

This is a dangerous team. Teams better look beyond the individual players and watch out for Van Gaal and his unconventional tactics. One of the subs sat behind the clip board for atleast 5 mins before nearing the touch line, even the camera noticed. It's Van Gaal special and his boys have clued in.

I don't follow your logic, that one is suggesting the US will get better is not dismissing the fact that others may be improving too, this is not mutually exclusive, if anything one is expecting that whatever deficiencies the US has now they will work on it and get better... if I follow your logic then the same set of teams will make it to round of 16 all the way through to the final - the reality is that some will improve, some will stay stagnant and some may regress or better yet the speed of improvement will differ for each team - once again, the US should be readier by 2026 especially as hosting is in the cardsmblack wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 6:14 pmYup.
