Reminds me of Pasadena running out of beer the first time the Badgers went to the Rose Bowl under Alvarez.

What a fun group of fans.

Would be great if there team had a good showing.

Pulisic is definitely hurt as you don't rest someone in a three game round robin when GD can matter (even though it's easy to make it through this year)

Pulisic out

Pulisic out

given how qualifying works and that we have a great GD, I would sit him for each of the next 2 and try get him as healthy as you can for the knockouts given Paraguay will finish last and we can settle in defensively enough against Australia to try at least draw. Joy of the schedule now is if he sits he's going to get like 3 weeks off to heal up.

Draw today and it's basically locked you're moving on (like 99.8% likely which is closer to 100 given the GD)

I may have to watch the US games on mute going forward.

Will be very curious to see Pochs style in the knockouts. Really good win today provided they avoid a complete meltdown

First time since 1930 that the U.S. has won consecutive World Cup games.

Go USA!!
