That, for me, is "decent", not "outstanding". Southgate agrees with you, fwiw Given everything that's going on in Iran, it's perhaps not surprising that the team wasn't as switched-on and difficult to beat as we'd been expecting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Hairy 3,759 Posted November 21, 2022 Managed to arrange my working day to watch about an hour of the England game, looked decent. Iran certainly didn't look a team 20th in the world, but that's the first time they've conceded 5 since 1950. Bellingham and Saka stood out for me, didn't see our non penalty or their one which was given, but Stuart Pearce was not happy on the radio. Caught the last half hour of the Dutch game, dull as hell........Oh goal as I say that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cambridgeshire canary 6,675 Posted November 21, 2022 Will say it's amusing how all the Sagent talk in recent days and week was about him and his manager (US team that is) agreeing that he's best played as a striker.. And in his first match for them in this world cup he gets thown on the wing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeiranShikari 1,409 Posted November 21, 2022 ITV agrees with you but Weah is far more of a winger than Sargent. He's a good direct runner and a crosser, Sargent isn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the call, Gregg Berhalter continues to insist he sees Tim Weah most valuable as a winger and that he sees him for the #USMNT as a striker only in unique situations. Sarge as the no 9 it is then 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Used to be a home nation supporter until the antics of Bales and co in recent tournaments. Love to see Josh bag some goals & the US of A cruise through the game. Mind you I feel the same way about any Welsh opponents as Andy Murray does about any English opponents. Edited November 21, 2022 by ron obvious 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cambridgeshire canary 6,675 Posted November 21, 2022 It's an odd one. Even though many England fans seem to try and force a bit of a rivalry against Wales and Scotland end of the day if a UK team is playing against a non UK side then I will support them and wish them well, be they England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. But at the same time the US have Josh of course so.. Guess I can support both sides tonight right? 🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
