@AstrosGeaux @starsnstripesfc See this is in direct contradiction to his point tho bc he was saying every game and every goal matters with GD. There are positives and negatives to every system, but if I’m being honest we should at least draw turkey w our B team, if not win.

@LondonCallingA @starsnstripesfc Well, if we win tomorrow & had a big goal differential over Turkey it’d be nice to give some of our main guys some rest for the Turkey match. Like teams usually do at the WC. Now it’s very possible that USA might have to get a point in the third match just to top the group.

So apparently FIFA changed the tiebreaker rules. Head to head takes priority over GD now… We will need Turkiye to draw vs Paraguay or get a draw vs Turkiye. Kind of dumb a team with +6 could lose a group to +2…
🇺🇸@starsnstripesfc

Really hope Pulisic is fit for tomorrow. I’m confident if we beat Australia, we will top the group. Might even be able to rest guys vs 🇹🇷 depending how their game goes vs Paraguay. Even if they win 3-0 they’d still only be +1

@five_takes For example, Congo v Uzbekistan I put up at $400/seat for cat 2 and they all sold. I’m comfortable not going to that game at that price. My cat 1s for the R16 game is listed MUCH higher, bc I want to go to the game, and realistically don’t want to sell the tickets.

Don’t let all the empty seats fool you. ATL is a soccer city. But when FIFIA and just greedy people price folks out, that’s what happens. That is not a reflection of the passion this city has.

@five_takes Eh idk I’m more nuanced on it. I definitely get your point, and agree with the ones that were just out to make a buck, but I bought tickets to 4 matches in atl through the visa presale draw. I listed them at what I’d be comfortable not going to the game at. Otherwise I just go.

There's obviously a lot of matches to play, but at this very moment on the live table, Atlanta's Round of 32 match on July 1 would be... England (Group L leader) vs Portugal, Spain or Ecuador (3rd place Group E/H/I/J/K)

Tbh, we ought to be able to beat any team in our group with or without Christian. If he needs time to get right before the KO stage give him that time. Start weah, and bring on Gio in the second half. We’re gonna be (or at least should be) alright y’all.

McKennie, on Pulisic: “Hopefully he can be there tomorrow. I know he really wants to be and he's doing everything he can, and the staff is doing everything they can as well. That’s probably better to ask him rather than me. I'm in my own la la land.” #usmnt

@five_takes Read some of your replies after I commented. Yes some bought at scalper prices, but as another said, I saw tickets under $300 these last few days leading into the game. Very reasonable even for a group stage game imo. Argentina v Canada 24 COPA I paid $300/seat.

@MikeConti929 The Athletic has a prediction bracket. Idk if you have seen it but it's a great tool to visualize the potential matchups

I think this is the first day of the WC I genuinely have 0 interest in any of the games.

Rule No. 1 in ⚽️ You don't go out and disrespect your opponent before a game. You just don't. Its stupid and its bad sportsmanship and you're just giving them that extra 1%. We may go out and beat Australia but Mike Grella is stupid for saying what he said.

@starsnstripesfc @asc74O Why? If Team A loses 4-0 to Brazil but beats Team B, why should Team B finish ahead because they only lost 1-0 to Brazil? The most relevant game between the tied teams is the one they actually played.

@starsnstripesfc @asc74O Greece beat Portugal at Euro 2004 and still finished behind them on GD. That’s exactly the type of outcome I don’t think is “better.”

@asc74O @LondonCallingA Every goal used to matter before. not just winning a certain matchup. It was better that way but to each their own

@asc74O @starsnstripesfc Plus fluke wins happen over the course of a season while GD over the whole season actually makes sense. If you’re consistently beating teams by multiple goals, your GD will be higher by the end vs a 3 game sprint where Germany is plus 6 against curaçao.

@starsnstripesfc @LondonCallingA No soccer league values H2H over GD because in soccer leagues you play each team more than once. So the H2H can’t even be measured properly.

@starsnstripesfc Honestly this is completely backwards. GD matters more over the course of a season than in a group stage.

@starsnstripesfc @asc74O You’re proving my point. “More consistent” is an argument for a 38-game season, not a 3-game group. In a group stage, the actual result between the tied teams should carry more weight.

@asc74O @LondonCallingA Disagree. Now there is no incentive to win games decisively. Get up 2 and park the bus. Every goal should matter the same
