Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 4446688, member: 4613"] I share many of the same sentiments. I don't follow soccer too closely until the world cup but that is starting to change. I had to go completely off the grid all afternoon because I was watching tape delay. The goal was brilliant and Pulisic's injury was of course a game changer. I thought Aaronson and Zimmerman really stood out down the stretch. Even if the USA doesn't have the firepower to score more often, it seems it should have been able to play a better final 15 minutes. Man that was brutal! There was one play near the end where I thought a US player messed up but then the announcer said he wasn't aggressive because he was in the box. Turns out it was just inside the left corner of the box and that could have been the type of play where if he had gone in heavy, Iran would have had a PK, which is what I was fully expecting to happen to the US. So maybe it was a great play after all. [/QUOTE]
