What are your thoughts on Group D?
This to me is the closest to the group of death there is… every team will be evenly matched. Idk where people come off saying this is an easy group. I would love to say that the US here is the best team and we should breeze through, but realistically speaking, the US still has a lot of holes in their gameplay. Also, games played against these teams were friendly. Which means nothing compared to actual competitive matches. Either way, let's go US… bring your A game!
Anyone else have second hand embarrassment with these guys talking and Henry sitting there lol
Alexi putting all the pressure on the team 😂
The world cup is not a friendly game where you go and try new players… Mark my words… Paraguay will not make it easy for the Yankees
I hope they get out of the group stage but this is going to be harder than the rankings suggest
Idk I think it’s a tricky group. ESP if turkiye makes it
Yes technically USA should win Group D, however how they handle the pressure and spotlight of being the home country will dictate their success. Plus will there venues actually be home field advantage? USA 7 points wins Group D
Paraguay has beaten teams like Brazil before and Australia has beaten usa before easy on paper but everyone come different in the world cup usa def got the best chance though let's go usa 🇺🇸 😂😢😅
The boys got this group in the bag
It would be great if Turkey qualifies for the wc.
Alexi is a damm fool 😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅
All Poch and the team have to do is play the same level of soccer as they did this last year…. (2 wins and 1 loss to their group opponents) This year was easily the worst USMNT since 2017 so advancing out of this group better be a given.
Im Romanian, and hopefully we qualify, but I know Turkey is the favorite in our bracket. But honestly its a pretty open group, yes the USA are the favorite with being at home, but they're not a top seed in this group by ranking, lets not forget that. Different USA team than in 94' but if Romania make it, Lalas probably doesn't want to be reminded of the 94' world cup getting schooled in pasadena.
Favorable draw for US. World Cup organizers want US to go far.
Manageable group for the US, but let’s be real, with 48 teams, more than ever it all comes down to the knockout stage. 3 of 4 teams probably qualify from the group stage, just don’t be 4th and show up for the knockouts.
I guess we have to tolerate Lalas again. Glad that Thierry is there.
UEFA C & Paraguay will advance, if USA can beat Australia in Seattle they might have a chance
Don’t worry USA will get grouped
“On paper” lmao it looks good but usmnt better not sleep on any of those teams! I really hope they prep right and take the WC seriously NOW
No game is easy. Focus, concentrate, take them all so seriously. If you think your Opponent is stupid, you pay it dear
Buddy soccer gods there is one God and His name Is Jesus Christ
i think it is a winnable group for us {USA}i can wait for it to start {7 month
USA most likely will advance and pass the second round but it ends there. They always underperform.
US might make thr group stage and then get knocked out
How impressive that a lot of you want to say we’re going to crash out of this group when we’ve already played two of them in the last year and beaten them.
On paper, yea, it looks like a rigged group for the States. The problem is every team in this group has profound representation inside of America. Even the playoff teams are largely represented in the States.
saka misiniz abi turkiye aminizi siker kendileri harbiden superman zannediyorlar…
USMNT will get a beat down.
Henry's face when these 2 idiots are are talking up USA 🤣 He is like you guys are so clueless
Check back in when they are the 3rd place team trying to sneak in.
The arrogance around the usmnt with these analysts is so annoying. If we show up and don’t perform, we’re getting sent home. Period!
Of course Americans would glaze the team and think the US is gonna fly by
France vs Senegal is the first matchup in World Cup history with the same country
