It's not a slant it's from objective viewing.  I'm a fan of the BBC in general.  It's been deliberated cut in the way it was cut for whatever reason.

There's footage everywhere of US and Iranian players embracing and none of it was selected to go out live, all of this was in front of the TV cameras, and bare in mind the tensions between the two nations via media before kickoff

You've already been told it's got nothing to do with the BBC - they received it from the host broadcaster

Excellent news for Josh, He done really well to avoid his full weight going down.  Sprung up like a salmon so he did!

US captain Christian Pulisic is another fitness doubt after suffering a pelvic injury scoring the winner against Iran.

"With Christian we are hopeful. Maybe with Josh, less so, but this is go time now," said Berhalter, speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday lunchtime. "If you can push through it, you do. We're going to test him (Josh) in training later. I'm sure he'll have that same mindset."

Tremendous recovery from his ACL injury. 🤣

Whilst the push it through mindset is to the benefit of the USA there is a good chance of Josh being crocked for Swansea, which imo is City’s pivotal game of the Season to decide our direction of travel. Obviously on a personal level Josh will want to be involved tomorrow.

Yeah it is totally understandable but not what a Norwich fan will want to hear.

If USA beat Holland he won't be available for the Swansea game anyway. If he does play and they get knocked out it may take Josh some time to get back in NCFC mode.

Sarge nowhere to be seen in squad then, looks like no chances being taken.

Either that or the injury is worse than we think.

Let’s face it, he was always going to get injured and not be available for us when he gets back, wasn't he?

[Capt. Pants 4,203]

The other thing is that the rest of the squad have been away on a training camp and working on skills and tactics together, without Josh. It's possible he's not in Smith's plans for the starting XI against Swansea anyway. It will take Josh a week or 2 to gel again and this injury won't help.

Judging by how clueless we've looked at times, it wouldn't surprise me if Josh may benefit from getting external coaching with US team.  We'll find out in Jan I guess.
