seriously. i was so calm the whole game and then from the 80th minute onward when it became clear we just needed to close it out i was sooo tense hahaha
Yeah Ibrahim Affelay, and I totally agree, I was positively surprised by their teamwork and passion displayed in this game. Some things we are going to have to be inspired by looking at the rest of our matches..
Honestly the US team has mostly been exciting to watch when they're not parking the bust to protect their lead. The back 2 + GK are solid, the midfield and Dest are doing a lot of work constantly moving the game forward, Weah and Pulisic have been good for building play but not really to close it out. The US really lacks a guy who's less cute, less of a team-first kind of guy to actually have the balls to take shots.
There’s a different energy here this year. Know a bunch of people watching the games, and seeing a massive amount of it on social media. Hell, even my parents are texting me about it.
They are. What they maybe lack in skill they make up for in spirit. It is fun to watch, especially since the Dutch team seems to be lacking spirit and intensity.
I’ve been reffing soccer in the US for about 10 years and playing for another 15. What I’m seeing these days in the youth squads compared to when I played is much more organized, coherent, possession-based, and positive. I’m hopeful this is just the beginning of what’s to come.
I'll never stop talking about the performance Tim Ream has put in til the day I die. Absolutely unreal how he comes into the team after being out for over a year, and absolutely solidified our back line. I love him
Absolutely. I have also been very impressed with Ream. He's hardly put a foot wrong in all three games. I definitely did not expect the US defense to concede zero open play goals (and only one pen from a bonehead decision) in the group stage. Adams and the fullbacks have also been playing out of their minds.
Yeah the midfield being so good and sound defensively has created a good defensive team overall. Was worried about the backline heading in but Rheam and the mids are carrying it well.
I’m glad Pulisic scored that goal. Because the US being knocked out of the World Cup in a scoreless draw despite not losing a single match would have been the most “soccer” thing ever for haters out there.
I think the US is further along than most probably think. They lack a legit man up top who can score. If they can produce one they are off to the races and are a serious threat. Their midfield is legit.
Right. As frustrating as these matches are, international football is pretty ugly outside of a handful of teams. I’d rather be the US than Uruguay right now.
I was glad the staff on the sidelines acted up. Feels like it let Lahoz get those cards out of his system and then he was able to let the play on the field just go.
THANK YOU USA, very cool. People are in the streets of Tehran celebrating right now, when I went out it was 1 AM and the streets were PACKED. Here's a video I took:
That’s fucking football right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side lines. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball football fuck it chuck it game time shit. Take it to the showers. Dicks get shoved in places you don’t even remember. We win together we celebrate together. Football is back baby.
I hear that. As an American and Holland are my #2 national team (my mom was the first in her family not born in the Netherlands) Saturday is going to be nerve wracking but the winner will get my full support going forward.
pulisic died for this
His nuts need to go in a hall of fame somewhere. There’s no way they work anymore anyways.
My man traded the next generation of USA soccer for this game
DICKS OUT FOR PULI
What a ballsy goal tho
He sacrificed the future generation of this team for the present
The man has more balls than me and he currently has none.
a scrotum for a goal. a fair trade.
I think I aged 20 years in those final 9 minutes
seriously. i was so calm the whole game and then from the 80th minute onward when it became clear we just needed to close it out i was sooo tense hahaha
My stream randomly skipped from +1 to +6… I wasn’t complaining
I thought for sure iran would score. Reminded me of prevent defense in American football
Haji Wright aged 0 minutes because he put in absolutely 0 effort and was basically having a siesta out there on the pitch.
Criminal for wright not to take the ball to the corner at the end there
He had two choices there.
He was absolutely terrible all around. Depth is a serious problem if Pulisic and Sargent are both out.
How he made the squad over Pefok or Pepi is beyond me
i am going to release twelve eagles into a nursery tonight
While shooting your gun into apple pie
USA USA USA
Cos you want to see eagles vs children?
RRRRAAAAHHHHHH 🦅🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
This has so many American layers, it just may be the most American thing possible.
That was nervewracking as fuck
Absolute shambolic subs late. Lucky to get out of there with a win
Greg absolutely almost gave them the game with the subs and tactics.
Greg Berhalter is a moron
We grabbed the group by the pulisics and held on for dear life
This World Cup has been entertaining as hell.
Iran came very close…and I just know we were inches away from a reality where they did score…
EAGLES SCREAM IN THE DISTANCE
CAWWWWWW CAWWWWWW
The sound of Remington 870s pumping fills the air
***The Falcon scream that is the stand in for Eagles on TV because ain't no one want to hear what an Eagle actually sounds like.
don't play Wright again.
Wright and Moore. Give me Yedlin and Reyna please Berhalter I beg.
I'd be pissed if I ever saw Moore in a kit again
More like Haji Wrong amirite?
Sargent was still looking good when he came off. We needed to take off Musah before the 80th.
my buddy had a prop bet on shots on goal and won money because of Wright's shenanigans lol
A Dutch-language TV commentator said that USA is an unexpected joy to watch this year
Yeah Ibrahim Affelay, and I totally agree, I was positively surprised by their teamwork and passion displayed in this game. Some things we are going to have to be inspired by looking at the rest of our matches..
That's nice of them to say
they're not wrong, the US start their games off really well. When Berhalter starts making subs is when things get rough
Honestly the US team has mostly been exciting to watch when they're not parking the bust to protect their lead. The back 2 + GK are solid, the midfield and Dest are doing a lot of work constantly moving the game forward, Weah and Pulisic have been good for building play but not really to close it out. The US really lacks a guy who's less cute, less of a team-first kind of guy to actually have the balls to take shots.
There’s a different energy here this year. Know a bunch of people watching the games, and seeing a massive amount of it on social media. Hell, even my parents are texting me about it.
They are. What they maybe lack in skill they make up for in spirit. It is fun to watch, especially since the Dutch team seems to be lacking spirit and intensity.
Weird. They’re only showing the first halves of all of our games in Amsterdam.
I’ve been reffing soccer in the US for about 10 years and playing for another 15. What I’m seeing these days in the youth squads compared to when I played is much more organized, coherent, possession-based, and positive. I’m hopeful this is just the beginning of what’s to come.
USA-Holland will be good viewing
Congrats, United States Mutant Ninja Turtles
Give Mbappe his citizenship. Now.
Thank god I wasn't the only one who thought the same.
This is the way and I will not accept any other explanation for their abbreviation
Does that mean they're about to claim Ox and Mbappe as US players?
Pulisic in a half shell: Pulisic power!
Cowabunga dudes!!!
probably the only CONCACAF representation in the round of 16
Costa Rica: Unless....👀
also costa rica after they inevitably beat germany
LFG my brothers 🇺🇸
That's because CONCACAF is terrible right now, watching qual was rough
Nah, mate, Costa Rica will smash Germany.
The US only gave up one goal during the group stage, and it was a PK. The defense, especially Tyler Adams, was immense.
Tyler Adams deserves that captain’s armband. He’s been spectacular
I'll never stop talking about the performance Tim Ream has put in til the day I die. Absolutely unreal how he comes into the team after being out for over a year, and absolutely solidified our back line. I love him
I feel like Robinson's performance on the left needs to be highlighted. Dude containment and forward play was fantastic.
Tyler Adams, Zimmerman, Ream, even Carter-Vickers today. They were all the reason Iran didn’t score at the end there
a midfield with Tyler Adams, Mckennie, Musah and little help from pulisic is by far the best advantage the U.S. has got.
I think that was the goal. Bring in a super young squad to cut their teeth in a WC before it comes to the US in 26.
Power move from the US to have Pulisic only age 3 years between then tournament and the next opposed to 4.
Now, if only they could find a clinical striker to actually consistently take advantage of the chances they create.
This was 100% all due to Carter Vickers starting today.
Absolutely. I have also been very impressed with Ream. He's hardly put a foot wrong in all three games. I definitely did not expect the US defense to concede zero open play goals (and only one pen from a bonehead decision) in the group stage. Adams and the fullbacks have also been playing out of their minds.
Agreed, spurs legend
He was so good, but so was Zimmerman after coming on. So happy to have safety at the back.
He was very good
The dallas cowboys need to call this dude to play TE man is built
CCV was immense all game
US defense underrated perhaps, only 1 goal allowed. 0 from run of play
Yeah the midfield being so good and sound defensively has created a good defensive team overall. Was worried about the backline heading in but Rheam and the mids are carrying it well.
They were panicking at the end, Iran was clueless and only throw ball in the box. US played better against England as defense.
My boy CCV coming in clutch!
US midfield is extremely strong. All three starters are good defenders and also very good in transition.
What a battle
How do we not fucking see Reyna when Puli AND Sargent are injured ffs
Playing Wright over Reyna should be a federal crime
Reyna would probably have done a better job at holding possession…
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW INSUFFERABLE WE ARE GOING TO BE FOR THE NEXT DAYS
Hey if we chant "I believe that we will win" and "it's called soccer" for a few more days we may drive the rest of the world to suicide.
I'm sure we'll out insufferable you by... Wait... Singing a song.
Dam the 10 minutes extra stoppage time was nervewracking as hell. BUT GREAT WIN USA!!!
Only those 10?
Going absolutely mental (yelling) at the pub (bar) while out on holiday (work break)
(Vacation)
Got my US citizenship this year, US advances out of groups. Coincidence?!? Clearly I'm USMNT's lucky star
AMERICA
Welcome and thanks for the luck!
Congratulations and thank you
Welcome home brother.
MAKE THIS MAN PRESIDENT!
Thank you for your service.
2nd youngest team of the tournament
And will all be in their peak when hosting. LFG.
Extremely competent too. Dest, Weah, McKennie, Pulisic…
Now we can be eliminated by a proper team.
I’ll be happy if we get Netherlands to pens even if we lose
getting beat by the oranje folks is a much better feeling, regardless of the beating we will receive, than getting knocked out in the group stage.
Who're we playing after Netherlands?
USA WINS 1-0
I’m going to get the CHEESIEST cheeseburger to celebrate!
I really like this USA team and Pulisic is fun to watch
Literally left his balls on the pitch. Fucking love these guys.
*PuliSack
I want America to win the World Cup purely to boil maximum piss.
Thanks soccer bro
1-0 CONCACAF masterclass all the way to the final. I’d have it no other way.
If GGG, of all coaches, got us to a World Cup I'd literally pray to him for the rest of my life.
Can we get a USA vs England final?
If the US win it's called soccer, then, now, forever.
Soccer bros vs. Socceroos in the final
Not bad for a bunch of CONCACAF teenagers
The USA are 4 wins away to win the SOCCER WORLD CUP.
Soccer Super Bowl Champions in just four wins!
We really bout to hoist the Soccer Lombardi
They'll become the 2nd World Champs from the region after Chicago Fire
GIVE ME FRANCE
I’m glad Pulisic scored that goal. Because the US being knocked out of the World Cup in a scoreless draw despite not losing a single match would have been the most “soccer” thing ever for haters out there.
Mr President, we have confirmed The United States of America have won vs Iran, I repeat, The United States of America have won vs Iran
We can now bring our hostages home
I think the US is further along than most probably think. They lack a legit man up top who can score. If they can produce one they are off to the races and are a serious threat. Their midfield is legit.
Right. As frustrating as these matches are, international football is pretty ugly outside of a handful of teams. I’d rather be the US than Uruguay right now.
Hopefully theres some 16 year old who will emerge in 26
Sorry Mexico and Canada, but this World Cup is only big enough for one North American country! 🇺🇸
CUM is coming home
Years of my life are gone.
I’ll never recover from this lol
Is it too late to add CMC and Tyreek Hill to the roster guys?
Hill injured his knee this weekend, I believe. Look at the dutchie having to tell you that
They are probably better than Shaq Moore.
Justin Jefferson at Goalie. Derrick Henry on defense
Fuck it Lebron and Vickers in the backfield and its a fucking wall back there
Sargent >>> Wright
I'm surprised at how stressed I was during the last 2 hours.
WW3 aborted.
This just makes the US sad.
They had to sacrifice Pulisic but it was worth it. Haji Wright should be judge for treason, what a fucking useless striker in those last minutes.
Remember: the eagle is bald by choice!
Well done America, hopefully Mexico can also make Concacaf proud.
God Bless America motherfuckers
Newspapers tomorrow: USA DEFEATS IRAN
Bring it on you freaky deaky Dutch
fair play, the better team won tonight. they deserved to go through, good luck to them
cheers. your team fought well. gg
Actually glad this game got a decent ref even though Lahoz gets a lot of shit sometimes
I was glad the staff on the sidelines acted up. Feels like it let Lahoz get those cards out of his system and then he was able to let the play on the field just go.
thought he controlled it very well.
Zero goals conceded from open play in the group stage. No one saw that coming.
I never want to see Shaq Moore again
Shaq Moore needs to get on a fkn plane back to the states. I hated him there o
THANK YOU USA, very cool. People are in the streets of Tehran celebrating right now, when I went out it was 1 AM and the streets were PACKED. Here's a video I took:
HEY NETHERLANDS YOU LIKE FREEDOM?
Break out the Netherlands invasion act
Amsterdam Schiphol is the most overrated airport in the world and far too big and confusing
Uh...yeah. They're partially responsible for why the U.S. even exists, lol.
THROUGH-S-A!
That’s fucking football right there. None of that pansy ass dick tugging smile for the camera bullshit. Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side lines. Fucking hard core dick in the ass butterball football fuck it chuck it game time shit. Take it to the showers. Dicks get shoved in places you don’t even remember. We win together we celebrate together. Football is back baby.
What an AMERICAN goal. Gritty, shitty, not remotely pretty. Just big dicked it into the gaping hole before getting pounded
I mean... ya not wrong
my anus
THE REAL FOOTBALL COPY PASTA
Gio Reyna still warming up! Bye Iran!
The world isn’t ready for his level of power. GGG knew it would be a waste to use it in the group stage.
Soccer is alive and well
There are only two things I can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Dutch.
God this team would be dangerous if they had one single competent striker
[удалено]
It’s all house money now. This was my goal for the tournament after not qualifying in 2018.
We are defending well but can barely score to save our lives. Need to go 0-0 to penalties and hope for the best.
Tyler Adams is fucking class. Great result and fantastic experience for the second youngest team in the Cup. Hope Pulisic is alright
WE ARE CHEERING IN IRAN!! Well done USA
Captain America died for this!

Team USA advances to the Sweet 16

ITS CALLED SOCCER
This should be a beautiful game. Absolutely love both countries although I'll obviously root for my own nation.
Cheers to that bud
I, too, have a fondness for bicycles
I hear that. As an American and Holland are my #2 national team (my mom was the first in her family not born in the Netherlands) Saturday is going to be nerve wracking but the winner will get my full support going forward.
Good luck, friend. Should be fun!
yeehaw

Congrats Yanks
USA v Netherlands is going to be the most 0-0 match ever, isn’t it?
Zimmerman - American slab-head saving our lives with patriotic forehead of his 🫡
[удалено]
We’re not in a place to expect a deep run. Getting out of the group is a successful cup for these young guys.
true, only if you judge based on the struggles of the second half.
Pulisic sacrificed his dick for that goal like a god damn patriot
