Agreed on both accounts I've been very hopeful for Dike's development - he checks so many boxes and that injury derailed him a bit There needs to be more though - I just have no idea who it will be I think Weah is really progressing when they took him away from trying to be that role and this...- MigratingOsprey

I think there have been glimpses. From these players (and really the current groups as well) in the youth development are very active, pushing teams..... But frequently missing that center piece of stack This was a very clear problem. In the first half Ferreira had the ball played to him...- MigratingOsprey

As for the US, it's all been covered. Adams had a great tournament, but got caught watching it develop like he was hoping for someone else to do the work and then break the other way Dest had a strong game and shouldn't have come off - but he lost the mark on that one and he knew it, just too...- MigratingOsprey

Will be interesting. This team can play anyone to a tight game it seems like - with no draw as an option, I wonder if that will impact game flow, etc- MigratingOsprey

I wonder if it's easier with offside as the computers are modeling the position of a pair of fully dimensional objects Boundary plays you have a sphere and that is really it. Tennis technology is good, but it's a smaller ball and is at the impact point Wonder if they could arrange the goal...- MigratingOsprey

Agreed. There is a nice foundation. Hopefully slonina can develop into an option at GK. I'm not sure the next line of CBs, but need drug there. I've been really happy with the play on LB/RB and there is some depth there Midfield looks good. Attacking support looks good. A dynamic striker...- MigratingOsprey

Yeah - I've been there, even with neighborhood kids - they had to be taught......... Probably the most random spoiler was my college basketball team - they are pretty much never on TV that I get ....

Yeah. I'm pretty adept at avoiding, I rarely watch NFL in real time. This is just to big though and maybe to casual. I watched the first half of Iran in lunch before going into a meeting - which ended with someone posting US wins on the chat out of the blue I'm sure some will be watching one...- MigratingOsprey

That's how they can score Pulisic in bad shape though, see how he can finish Will be interesting - Iran looked good in the first couple minutes when they were trying to possess in their 3rd. They'll have to open up a little. I think the US will need a second goal- MigratingOsprey

I think it's what they are good at. Always a chance that Iran would not respect players too wide without a target in the middle, but I think there is still enough where a guy like McKennie could get up for a header if you give the crosser all day.... Plus they tend to draw with them and also...- MigratingOsprey

I'd love for him to score and be a problem - It would be great if he could consistently hold up and draw attention to create space and just be involved I just haven't seen it from any of the 9s for the US Maybe they think Iran will absorb pressure and are looking for a target.
