Playing a 2 man midfield at the WC with one of those MFers being 39 years old seems like a not so great idea by Herdman. Poor Eustaquio has to cover the entire MF on his own.

Canada placed first in CONCACAF qualifying by frustrating Mexico and the US with a defend-and-counter style. Herdman decides to show up at the WC and go with a Leroy Jenkins approach. I really liked Herdman as a coach coming into the tournament, but I think he got this all wrong.

The U.S. Soccer Federation supported protesters in Iran by briefly displaying the nation's flag online without the emblem of the Islamic Republic.

But this is FIFA. They have no issues siding with genocidal dictators. So the US will probably be forced to forfeit their match or they'll at least have Iran start with 5 penalty kicks or something.
Honestly just dumb IMO to modify the flag. I don't think you're doing anything meaningful by doing so.
But hearing Iranian officials talk about how we're going against international law and morality, when they are arresting and killing many protestors is just hilarious.

What you're doing is showing the international community that you support the people of Iran in their fight against tyranny. It costs you nothing and it's not like you have a diplomatic relationship with the Iranian regime to hurt anyways.

If I were a soccer hater I wouldn’t go with the “there’s not enough scoring” angle. I would go with the “coaches can get cards” angle.
Cards for coaches is awesome, it's interesting to me how in football the refs will allow themselves to just be berated by coaches all game long and do nothing.
I think it’s more the physical act of showing a the red to a coach that makes it different. I just hate refs. Just let the coach get it out as you move on towards the tunnel.
It was especially hilarious in the South Korea game because the game was over.
Ecuador/Senegal should be a fun one to decide who moves on.
As far as the later games, let's get weird today. If the US beats Iran and Wales beats England, the table flips and both teams move on.

That would be one of the greatest sporting days of my life.
