Must See Game of the Day

While I like the Saudi Arabia story, forget college football this afternoon and watch Argentina and Mexico. On paper Argentina is much the stronger side but at this point who can really say what being the favorite means.
Saudi's Not Handling The Moment  
Jeffrey : 11/26/2022 9:47 am : link
Saudi has been very aggressive and dominating the play and yet failing multiple times to even the score, including a horrible miss on the PK and even worse miss on the rebound. Sometimes the moment is too big. USMNT--pay attention. Your tournament was not the England game.
FRA - DEN  
ColHowPepper : 11/26/2022 1:06 pm : link
Bit of a snoozer 1H turned into a fun 2H, Mbappe with a late goal, his 2nd, salts it away after DEN tied it in the 76th (?). Griezmann yet again showing his quality with perfect service to the far post from just outside the 18 for Mbappe's 2nd.

Set pieces: watching FRA serious contender to win it all yet even non-serious contender DEN strips naked a truth about USMNT: its set pieces are broken, no threat, no combo set-ups, no reliable deliveries on which to take advantage of matchups. It's plain that the execution is not there but Berhalter must be blind if he can't see that changes are in order on FKs, starting with the player taking them.

+1 That is my concern as well, especially with such a young squad (third youngest in the WC).

Hell yeah Messi.

Messi used defender(s) as screen, dead on the corner

CONCACAF has little quality ....
Well those were two nice goals by Argentina when they had to have them

That Mexico Argentina match was dispiriting.

No gusto or energy. I don’t see how Argentina can compete against the handful of really good sides.

I agree. They seem too scattered to compete against the top Euro sides. Maybe they beat one of them but I doubt they can win a second.

Yep, all we need is a true striker who is seven feet tall. If you see one, notify GB.
