World Cup 2022

What I don't understand is why Wales are standing off so much. Every USA player has a good 5 yards of space to choose what to do with the ball. Anyone would think Wales were playing Brazil. They're giving this lot far too much respect. USA haven't got anywhere near the experience and with the exception of the pass and finish for the goal, USA have had to do nothing exceptional whatsoever to get their lead.

Wales just need to show some hwyl and get into them with some energy, a heavy press and a bit of fire. That was 40 mins of garbage so far.

Kieffer in, who is out?

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Moore on, James off. Lost a real threat in terms of pace up front.

 

[jackodiamonds]

I would have liked to see Moore with James - classic little and large, Moore to hold up and lay off, James to pounce. Nevermind eh?

 

[KVetch]

It's going to take some magic

 

[CroJack]

It's going to take some magic

Some good crosses to Kieffer

 

[KVetch]

I don't understand taking James off I suppose for a taller defender and threat on corners

 

[KVetch]

Don't let Berthalter be the 2nd manager Roberts chokes

 

[Yankee_Jack]

We’ve swapped Ramsey and Wilson. Wilson is now deeper, Ramsey further forward

 

[KVetch]

Passing is dreadful but they are going to have their chances

 

[KVetch]

2 good chances, Americans look rattled

 

[Yankee_Jack]

We are now all over them. Pity we couldn’t have played with this intensity first half. Wilson made a big difference in midfield playing deeper instead of Ramsey.

 

[KVetch]

Nico doesn't seem badly hurt but I would expect him to come off soon

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Johnson on. Nico off

 

[Yankee_Jack]

Clear penalty WTF are they complaining about

 

[CroJack]

1:1

 

[Yankee_Jack]

That’s why he’s on the field

 

[KVetch]

There it is, that's given them momentum

 

[Yankee_Jack]

We have the momentum. It’s our game to win

 

[KVetch]

Should have been a red for that foul on Bale, he was about to score
