Spectacular doesn't come close to describing that match. It had everything and then some.

A routine World Cup Final is 5 times any Super Bowl. Today was at least 10 times the best Super Bowl.
...

Two and done would not be a good look for group play in the World Cup. 12 groups of 4 is a much better option.

There was nothing boring about the two WC QFs played Friday. More high-stakes, high-profile matches will do the trick very nicely, thank you.

1000 completed passes doesn't equal 1 PK. Much less 3 PKs.

US had its chances but couldn't finish enough. And nothing more needs to be said about the defense.

Typical Clockwork Orange slice and dice job. If that team can keep playing the way it did today,...

1-0 did happen because Pulisic sacrificed his body for the team to advance.

Shakier than I would have liked at the end, but the only relevant question is how many (group stage points in this case...

Nice effort by the US today. Needed a bit of that in the second half against Wales Monday. But all is still left to play for on Tuesday.

A result, but an unsatisfying result.

Reverted to back foot habits in the second half, and the equalizer was inevitable.

Going to be a harder road now.

Couldn't have asked for much more in that first 45. Another goal would have been nice and would have been deserved based on that effort.

The big difference to me is that the US played on the front...

Sauerbrunn should definitely be time-managed through the group stage to keep her as fresh as possible for the knockouts.

And Rapinoe needs to be an offensive sub only if she plays to hide her...

I'd call that result a 2-2 draw. VAR decision that came 2 minutes and 15 seconds after the ball was in the back of the net nullified the second US equalizer. If it takes longer than 90 seconds for...

Bakery chefs. US defenders today looked like that should be their profession because they were excellent at making turnover after turnover on an assembly line in their defensive third. Especially the...

The coaching was abysmal. Why start the "A" team against Ghana and then make numerous changes for The Netherlands? Made no sense at all. I watched that match but didn't bother with the Japan match...

The Uruguay match was clearly a case of should have done better, but the result obviously could have been a lot worse. Learn (hopefully) and get ready for Grenada.

Wasn't much bad to say about that performance except for the phantom penalty awarded to Morocco. Sporting gods took care of that one off the bar.

The entire buildup on the first goal was...

The USA team that played Wednesday night would be hard-pressed to get any results from this group. The USA team that played at other points in qualifying could get 4-6 points from this group.

Couldn't have gotten a much better draw than that. Not easy, but to me it's not the group of death no matter what FIFA rankings may say. If Wales advances, all 4 teams are in the top 21.

Cheap wine would be more appropriate to celebrate with than champagne after that performance.

I'll take it but I've got a bad taste in my mouth after that one.

Absolute chaos in the box.

Free headers do tend to end up in the back of your net.
