yeah I heard tuchel told him to shut up and listen to his instructions. it's funny because tuchel and pickford have same guy syndrome. I want to cheer for england but i don't like pickford or tuchel. both are recycled plastic in my eyes.
has this guy been living under a rock?
hate to see it
it was funny hearing Alexi Lalas tell Zlatan to his face that haaland is better than him. If I were Zlatan I would tell Lalas that he has to bow 3 times before he is spoken to. and that's just from Zlatan's lone bicycle kick goal. if you factor in Zlatan's entire career Lalas shouldn't allowed to be in the same room.
i just got back from taco boyz - it's team mexico central in there right now - might have to ride my bike back there and have a beer
It’s off the hook. US is the perfect venue for an event like this.
Yeah I was just thinking about how we’ve often had to overrate our US soccer heroes to keep the hype train rolling.
But not really Pulisic, who is pretty incredible when he’s got possession.

Switzerland scored all four goals after the 74th minute against Bosnia-Herzegovina
They are the first team in World Cup history to do so. In addition, the five combined goals are the most a World Cup game has had, with all five coming in the 74th minute or later.

Too lean...
Pulisic has lifted a UEFA cup and was one of the top scorers for Chelsea in that tournament scoring against the likes of Real Madrid along the way. If I recall correctly pulisic with Dortmund also drew a penalty that clinched a German cup. I really don’t think it’s fair to rate him as 130 or whatever in top players. Surely he’s in the top 75 for what he does as an attacking player. If he played for Croatia he would be respected more. Pulisic destroyed Paraguay. And it was an obvious setback when he left the match.
For Lalas he was just a guy on the 94 team. That same team ended up having the worst showing in World Cup history for the USA in 98. And a lot of it was partially they weren’t good enough but they were also kind of DB’s off the pitch as well. And I think Lalas fits that mold.
Pickford is going to be the downfall of England. Incredible that is the level of best English goalie compared to other countries.
