World Cup 2022

And damn I was wrong again...

 

[El Gato]

the equalizer seems a bit inevitable. No idea what NL will do against Argentina if they advance.

Need some heavy antijinx

Looks like a cruise. US cant get out of own half when on ball with no options between lines and terrible outlets wide.

Massive difference so far

 

[JerseyAddict]

Dest did his best

 

[Zidane82]

It is not over !!
The Dutch will soon tire whilst the Yanks are uber fit

I think

 

[JohnN]

First prediction coming through nicely (too easy to be honest). USA don't know how to attack against organized defense. The need run and gun football to be at their best and the Dutch knew it and just sit compact and hit on the break.
Doubt this can be reversed on the second half.

Dutch through without even breaking a sweat. No way back for Usa. Netherlands Arg would be epic. Hope it happens.

Naive, "physical" runners (albeit with more technical quality than before) against a more experienced, cynical team whose stars have played at the highest level in many instances (VVD, FDJ, Blind)

Expected outcome

The second goal was a typical one Barca concedes with late Busi marking.

 

[JohnN]

Twice they let a low cross come through without cover and on top of that no one marked the runner into the box. Low level defending, conceeded baseline professional football goals.

 

[jairzinho]

The buildup for that first Dutch goal was something else. Really impressive sequence of passes from their own third.

 

[El Gato]

TBF to Yanks tho, if Pulisic scores that sitter early, I think it’s a slightly different game. Could have ended 2-3 or 2-4 than way it’s going

 

[Temptation]

If only Haaland was American.....

 

[JohnN]

If only Haaland was American.....

But then he wouldn't be as good would he?

 

[Wambo]

Boring match overall, NL scored very easily two identical goals. US hasn't moved from the spot since 2010 and the infamous "USA wins 1-1". They will remain a round 16 team for a long time.

 

[Zidane82]

Naive, "physical" runners (albeit with more technical quality than before) against a more experienced, cynical team whose stars have played at the highest level in many instances (VVD, FDJ, Blind)

Expected outcome

The yanks could have 3 goals on another day ..

They should have gone 1:0 after a few minutes
