Honduras/CR was a draw, which seems like a good result for the Yanks. Sad that we have to monitor it, but there you go.

But in Croatian, It's POOL - IH - SHICH.

Here's 2 examples: The 1st, an American saying it wrong. the 2nd, a Croatian saying it correctly.

Not sure if anyone else is watching, but Trinidad & Tobago just got absolutely robbed in the 31st minute on a clear onside goal that was whistled late as offside. Like, it wasn't even close. The guy was behind the defender even as he got the ball and then sped up. And then a few minutes later they called offside against T&T again on a run through the midfield when the guy was again clearly onside. FIFA rigging?

They got a ridiculously favorable offsides call against Panama that wiped out the equalizer last week, so I guess it all evens out.

JJ can still play when he's healthy. the question is...is he healthy?

I guess arena figures zusi likes to score against panama.

“An interesting story,” he said. “You know the gamesmanship? The [Panamanian] federation had a guy waiting in the wings on the corner of the other side, holding him, a spectator. They were going to throw him on the field to start running just to stop the game [with Panama ahead of the U.S. to waste time].”

Makes me super happy for Pulisic, for two reasons. First, he's obviously in an environment that cares deeply about developing young stars and has shown the ability to do that successfully. Second, if he stays at Dortmund he could end up being part of a Golden Generation for the club, and just naturally develop into a world class player at the same time that the club is becoming a world-class team. Seems like a wonderful situation to be in, rather than having to jump into a mega-club and have immense pressure to immediately prove you're worth the tremendous price you were bought for.

Pulisic + Isak + Dembele + Passlack + Mor is just silly youth talent to have.
Not to mention he gets to play with some already world stars in arguably the best stadium in the sport

The odd game here and there sure but it's La Liga-->Serie A-->League Cup-->Ligue 1-->Championship for me on there

El Clasico, Milan derby, teams that are regular CL quarterfinalists. A channel I'd look into getting if you claim to enjoy the sport
