US being successful is just under England winning in a list of things I dread and wish never to pass.

Not sure what the hell Paraguay was doing, midfield 3 were always at sea, manager must be clueless.

It was refreshing to see the USMNT actually play like a team that knows what it's doing on a football pitch. Well apart from that one defensive hiccup. Maybe one day it will become the norm.

The game was too late for me to watch, it was at 2 am but I have watched the highlights when I woke up

A resounding win by the US and an excellent start to the WC, hopefully they will continue the momentum and they really can win against both Turkey and Australia. The US is in a good group with no serious opponents

I always like to see the host country at least getting out the first group because of the positive influence and excitement for the hosting country

And good to see Canada not losing for the same reason. At least both Bosnia and Canada both get a point

You should be happy, I would take a draw over a loss anytime and you should be able to beat Qatar? Which puts you in better position to progress

This is really cute and endearing 🦆

Should have been a win, really. Don't really care too much about Canada this tournament, though.

Brazil are dire

Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.

I'm happy to root for Canada, USA, Mexico, and England in this tournament. But most likely only England will last to the later rounds.

Turkey continually passing to Yilmaz to ineffectually cross the ball certainly is a tactic.

We must definitely all get behind England to win once our main teams are knocked out. Out of the 4 teams you mentioned you right about England being the most likely to progress

And I see Morocco and Brazil ended up 1-1, I never would have thought that. Well done to Morocco

They now the African favorites
