Qatar World Cup 2022. Argentina v France

You see, now that is good management, he's identified USA's weakness and exploited it to the full, what did our Gareth do against them ? We were lucky not to get beat, and second best all the way apart from a Kane header wide...what other chances do we remember, was there an onslaught on the USA keeper ?

I'm not ready to credit Van Gaal for those two goals. Those were not down to tactics as much as they were a result of players switching off. Tyler Adams , who has been a tournament best eleven class player up til now completely switched off and let Memphis run right down the middle of the pitch unmarked. On the second goal Dest got caught ball watching. That's on us....

It's all just a learning opportunity for our young team now. Can we fight our way back into it? It's a cruel test.

The USA have done very well in this tournament, Paul

A learning curve, as you say.

You must be joking Paul, watch the build up to both goals, and watch why the ball is pulled back into the area it was for the pass into the net on both occasions, Blind was not arriving blind, it was planned and the passer of the ball was told to pass it into that area.

The second goal Paul, re run the build up, it was a master plan, they went forward and backwards through their own defence before finally deciding they'd dragged you lot about enough and scored.

I agree that is how the Dutch want to play. But it's still down to execution. If our players track the f**king players they don't score.

Good to see Aaronson come on. But Haji Wright ffs??? And Tim Weah off ffs???
