Well gang- action is underway for the biggest sporting event in the world.
The USMNT were...uninspiring, perhaps? But better than Argentina. Good
Heavens, can anyone in that country play competent defense? Trent King

Thought the US team had a pretty good game, although it is a must to get more shots on goal than they did. I believe it was one? First half run of play was excellent. Welsh change of strategy in the second half did change the complexion of the match. Can't fault the US keeper for not stopping that cannon shot off of Bales foot. One thing I would say is that I was not impressed with the level of play from the US substitutes.

Lewandowski picked a heck of a time to get stoned on his PK today. Ouch!

I shed no tears for Argentina. Always have respected them, but the only time I root for them is against Brazil. Goes back to the Maradona days.

I thought the US looked pretty bad, actually. Wales is one of the worst teams in the tournament and they shut down the US for the entire second half. Even the one goal Weah managed to score was soft and not a goal a lot of other teams are going to give up.

I would be concerned with the lack of pressure they were able to put on a team already written out of the tournament.

So what's the deal with Reyna? It sounds like he didn't come to play, was breaking team rules and basically blew off a scrimmage. It was weird that Berhalter didn't play him, now we know there was more to the story than an injury.

Hi Al- yes, I saw something about that as well. If true, it's a heck of an
indictment on Reyna. I'd wager these managers deal with a lot of "stuff"
behind the scenes. Trent King

Unless you have a tie to Croatia how can you not root for Messi?

Whew, Argentina looked SHARP!

Peter- I admire Croatia. Tiny population, hard workers who are deceptively
skilled with "A" league European players. What's not to like? I love Messi
but preferred Croatia's team and story. Trent King

Reyna made a statement yesterday acknowledging the story. He said he got emotional when Berhalter told him he would only have a limited role for the WC, and let his disappoinment affect his behavior. It's a shame that between Reyna, his dad and Berhalter, they couldn't figure out a way to get Reyna, who is maybe the most talented player on the roster apart from Pulisic, onto the pitch.

As for the game today, my grandparents came over from Croatia after WW1, so Go Croatia!

Wife was very happy with the outcome! She lived in Argentina two years in 2007-08. We had sentiments for both teams. We went to Paris for our honeymoon in 2011. We got married our senior year in college and a week later my wife won an academic trip to Europe.

Mbappe's goals were eye popping. Messi's 2nd goal had us bouncing off the walls.
