Someone more knowledgeable - was that close to a hand ball in the box on Turkiye? What is the line between hand vs. not hand?

 

[AppleCornCy]

B-team in a game that doesn’t matter.

 

[CY88CE11]

Jesus. What an awful turnover.

 

[Clonehomer]

Feels like the young guys came in full of adrenaline and now are trying to catch their wind. Understandable, but now’s where we need to calm things down and just play smart.

 

[Jakester]

Too much random VAR interruptions

 

[cyclonespiker33]

USA looks like a Jackson State player being guarded by Tamin Lipsey. No composure.

 

[CY88CE11]

I'll also say, this game has been much more exciting than most so far. Build ups haven't taken 10 minutes each.

Much better midfield play. We need more spacing to flex our speed and get back to playing aggressively

 

[Clonehomer]

Just run all offense to the right side of the field. Weah is on the struggle bus tonight. Seems all legit chances are coming from Aaronson and Reyna.

Turkiye knows they are stronger and are going to push their limits and test our composure. No matter what happens, we can't lose someone for the knockout by being stupid.

 

[CY88CE11]

Looked pretty onside there.

It's confounding to me the amount of contact they're allowed, but we got a foul for touching a guy's back with zero extension. Should've been a corner.

 

[Cyched]

Laser. Hell of a shot.

 

[ianoconnor]

Holy smokes what a strike

 

[jdoggivjc]

Needed goal. Refs have been letting the Turks get away with everything.

 

[enisthemenace]

That was a seed.

 

[ianoconnor]

Dude.. Stu is right, too many offsides for Weah

 

[jdoggivjc]

Enter Pulisic

 

[enisthemenace]

Man…this better work out. Not sure I agree with bringing him on.

 

[jdoggivjc]

I know after the Aussie game I said I wouldn't even think about playing Pulisic, but I kind of had a change of heart today. Figured it might have been better to give him a few minutes but keep him on a short leash.
