Retired US Soccer / World Cup Thread (RIP)

The last time I remember him playing CDM for us was vs. Belgium in Brazil and he was the worst player on the pitch

I'm no GCam fanboy, but not sure it's fair to judge a player on a single match. That said, I still believe in MB4 so this discussion is pointless.

I agree. For me, it's as simple as I believe he's one of our top 2 CB's and our current CDM is our captain that isn't going anywhere. No need to reinvent the wheel. Play them in their best positions and let's see the result.

@BrianSciaretta: Eintracht Frankfurt right back Timothy Chandler withdraws from the #USMNT roster due to a hamstring injury

Hopefully Lichaj is healthy. I prefer him over Chandler anyway.

Who'd have thought something like this could happen??!!

Chadler remembered he'd have to fly to make it in time and withdrew

Please stop calling that bum up

This England-Costa Rica match has been pretty entertaining. Both teams have shown off some good movement, just no one has punched through yet.

Lookman!

Calvert-Lewin, Lookman and Dowell in the starting XI for ENG while Wright, Taitague and McKennie are all denied a release by Schalke to play for the US in South Korea. Fuckers.

Lookman with a gorgeous finish off a pass from Calvert-Lewin. That's a brace and you're welcome, England. #COYB

Incidentally, the England manager looks like he's straight out of the mid 70s

Dowell + Kenny looking good too

Best academy in England by a mile

Yeah, exactly

Germany-Zambia is a thriller. 94 minute, 3-3.

Germany was down 3-1. Scored in the 89' and 93' or so to draw level.

 

[timdunkandthefunk]

4-3 Zambia, only a few minutes left.

Don't know if that's right or wrong but success at a U-20 tournament really isn't the right measure imo.

how many players did Everton loan out?

I honestly don't know, but that hinders many reserve sides as players are sent to lower leagues to gain first team experience.
