I'm glad Steffen didn't make the squad. He was terrible last year for Man City, and there's a reason he was sent out on loan for this season.

They start Monday against Wales. Not much time (and no friendlies) to get our act together. Second youngest WC team of all time. Be interesting to see if we can stop Bale Monday.

Agree, it all depends on how our defense holds up. I think we have weapons that can score goals, and maybe being so young helps them play loose and free.

Major blow to France's chances losing Benzema.

What did I miss?

US v Wales tomorrow at 1:00 on FOX

ECU straight up robbed of a goal already in the game. FIFA is a criminal organization.

What did I miss?

Picked up a knock in training.

 

[AUDub]

England Iran going about how you'd expect. England hasn't broken through yet, but they're close. Maguire has a set piece header bounce off the bar.

And just like that England breakers through. 1-0 35th.

 

[AUDub]

2-0 England now. Volley off of a corner. The rout is probably on.

 

[major tidefan]

Iran is getting absolutely mauled.Men vs boys.14 minutes added time!That's got to be a record.

 

[AUDub]

Last thing Iran needed to have any hope was to get boat raced here.

 

[AUDub]

If we eke out a win against the Welsh today I like our odds.

 

[major tidefan]

Good for Rashy getting a goal.

 

[OakMtn4Bama]

Eng 5-1 at the 60 minute mark

 

[OakMtn4Bama]

We badly need to beat Wales, but I don't see how. We need to play loose. The squad is so young, they might just say to heck with it, let's play ball. Or they might be so tight they can't function. We will know soon.

6-2 Final. England looks like a tough out. Iran might be more in our range. Need to get points from Wales.
