1. Shouldn’t Bajraktarević be the “Appleton” Messi? He grew up in that boring town.

2. It’s cool that Bajraktarević is playing for the nation of his roots, Bosnia. Imagine Shohei Othani playing for USA instead of Japan.

3. What’s up with male soccer players wearing bras?

You should see his European man purse. Something you wouldn't see on a hockey player.

9 of 11 starters were sat in a nothing game.
Still disappointing we didn’t at least draw, but our starters and Pulisic walk away healthy.
The defense was shaky, but these are back-ups for a reason, and the chemistry wasn’t there with that many changes.

I believe we will be ready to go against Bosnia

No concerns about last night. The defensive lapses were predictable with all the players they had out. Nobody got hurt, and Pulisic looked great. Things are shaping up quite nicely for the U.S. to have a real shot as making the quarterfinals.

I don’t think Coldplay is performing at this futbol events, but I believe Chris Martin, lead vocalist of Coldplay, is producing the acts. I read something about this somewhere.

Who ain’t dig Coldplay?

Shohei Ohtani is awesome. Scored all 4 goals in Japan’s victory over Tunisia, and then suited up for the Dodgers and hit 3 homers and pitched a no-hitter in a win over the Brewers, and finally, rushed to a hospital to witness the birth of his offspring…all in one day.

Cape Verde once again playing some stellar D. This time they added some offense. That team is fun to watch.

Will be interesting to see how Poch handles last game of group stage vs. Turkey. USMNT have won their group. I assume Pulisic won't play, and I wonder if he'll rest any other starters. Turkey has been eliminated, shut out in both games.

Ecuador and Curaçao played one of the most exhausting matches I have ever seen (not a large number I grant you) but both teams were wiped at the end. Eloy Room is a hell of a keeper for The Blue Wave.

Germany got a little lucky to outpoint the Ivory Coast in extra time 2-1.

Balogun is terrific up top. The social media campaign to get him to sign on to the US team was well done.

I remember when I first saw him play last year, I Thought "Where the hell did this guy come from?" Best USMNT striker I've seen.

If I knew Spanish better, I'd be watching on Telemundo.

Nice work by Son of Freeman. And man was Australia trying to get the US into a red card. They were chippy as hell in the second half.
