Hate It If We Played It - Qatar World Cup 2022

Yeah pretty good.

welp

yeeeeeeee hawwww

I hate how the VAR age of soccer has me eagerly waiting for the replay to see if the guy was onside before mentally counting the goal

That's George Weah's son btw..

When he was active, Weah was eligible to represent both the United States and Liberia.[1][11] He played in two friendlies for the United States under-20 side in 2004.[12][13] More than a decade later, he was called up by the Liberian senior side for a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Togo in June 2015, despite not having played for a club in nearly a year.[1] He was named to the bench as Liberia lost 2–1.[14]

let's see if Twitter crashes

weah is also an anti-vax dipshit but we can talk about that tomorrow

Yeah but at least he hasn't got a stupid Gareth Bale hairstyle.

bullshit booking there

Sorry wrong son.

its not so much bread and circuses as the fact that these events are literally a form of counterinsurgency xps

Ok

Christ, I'd totally forgotten Weah played for Celtic for a while.

Rob Page had a spell at Hudds (and somehow looked even balder back then) and the US manager had a trial period with us in the Brian Horton days.

ahh george weah's goal back in the day in serie a where he dribbled from the edge of his own box was a thing of beauty.

want usa to win this. was a lovely goal.

definitely the type that 2010-2014 US was incapable of.

That's an interesting point as I'd just been assuming this US side were still getting back to that level tbh.

they're definitely greener than those squads, which brings some disadvantages, but the way they create is much better. not really sold on Berhalter as the coach though

need to put in Gio Reyna, and Yedlin for Dest due to the Yellow

slowest counter attack ever right there. had 4x4.

Kind of hoping there's a penalty in this match so we can hear John Hartson trying and failing to pronounce "penalty".

holy shit

last 15 minutes has been all Wales

Aaronson in

Pulisic dead

of course right after he tied bale in knots

how did Aaronsson miss that

looking at 5 mins of stoppage due to all of the injury stoppages and subs, I would guess.

lol fucking awful defending

there's yer pen

The ref has been very quick to blow the whistle so I assumed it might have been soft, but nope totally brainless lunge. Great pen

hoo boy

yeah completely dumb of Zimmerman then.

I have never watched the USMNT win a WC match live, so perhaps the curse continues. will completely change complexion of the group if it stands.

6-7 minutes stoppage i think

I do not understand that sub but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

should have been a yelow there, tactical foul

NINE MINUTES

wHo wIlL bE the sToPpAge tImE hErO?

Sorba Thomas coming on, about fucking time

Good new directive to stop the game any time anyone sits down

^disrespectful to players w/ hemmorhoids

On the evidence of this game England don't have much to worry about.

fitting that the US match starting to now resemble American Football

USA much worse than I was led to believe

they were better in the first half

USA have played better overall, but seem to panic & slip up when Wales do anything unexpected, does not bode well for them when they face a decent team.

Over 10 minutes extra time now. Ludicrous.

one of the drawbacks of having such a young team, with only one player who has played in WC for the US. don't know how to close out matches.

sigh. I still haven't seen the USMNT win a World Cup match live (every tiime we've won I've missed it in years past). must be a curse.

Iran a must win now, and might come down to goal differential unless US can force a draw or better against England.

Qatar paid a lot of money for this tournament, good to see they've demanded value for it
