    Surprising collapse from Iran. England looks like they will get 9 pts in the group.

    US center back positions are suspect. The pace from Dan James and Brennen Johnson will test the back line. I think we put in 2 and give up 1.

    Just watched the pregame national anthems. Made me shiver watching the Welsh team and their fans sing the song. No one took a knee. No one did anything other than just sing the national anthem. Maybe we should take a cue from them?

    a draw vs wales and a win vs iran puts the US in a good position. i think both teams lose to england and beat iran, comes down to goal differential,imo.

    US needs to find a striker for the next WC. The lack of finishing is, well striking;)

    It’s not a bad result but it feels like we gave away 2 points with a terrible penalty by Zimmerman.

    Fun note: every English Football League (which is the league in both England and Wales) game still is starting with every player taking a knee to demonstrate their resistance to racism.

    We need more shots on goal. I think we had one all match. The goal. Didn't have too many shots period. That's just not on the striker. Thought Sargent played well enough. The playmakers need to do a better job too. Maybe could use some Gio Reyna?

    Reyna is available for next match, so that’s good.

    Did they ever say why he didn't play this match? I figured he'd come in at some point

    I think he has been a bit banged up recently and hasn't played a ton over the last year at a club level due to a series of injuries, although he is healthy enough to bring him.
