Well time to bunker for 82 minutes, right? Arsenal-style.

[cl smooth]

2-0!

[Derwood]

Paraguay cannot get anything going. In the meantime, the US is springing runners left and right

[cl smooth]

3-0!

Well that was a pretty good half.

First time we've scored 3 in a WC game since against Portugal in 2002. Also only the fourth time we've scored 3 goals in a WC game. The other two were in 1930.

Paraguay goalie:

Hopefully just resting Pulisic and it's not an injury.

Yellow for Ream rescinded, VAR gives it to Almiron for diving

[soccer10k]

Love a VAR review to yellow card a guy for a dive. Somebody is going to get a second yellow and get sent off for that and it's going to be great.

Refs in soccer appear to be just as clueless as the big 4 US sports.

In their defense, they have to cover way more ground

Could just add more refs, but soccer refuses to change anything for the better, so here we are

Don't love Adams getting a yellow

[JHBulls]

A big US win helps out Australia if we are good enough for one of the best 3rd place spots. So by all means, please score another two goals.

Poch will address the Pulisic situation after the match is not what I was hoping to hear. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but if he wasn't hurt, wouldn't they just say that?

[JHBulls]

What a goal! Wow.

[JHBulls]

Great match and deserved win for the US. Cubs/Giants game is now on the TV with the sound back on.

[cl smooth]

What a sequence! 4-1!

Watching your team dominate.  It’s been awhile.

Doesn't seem major. Said he thinks he'll be fine in a few days.

Also, OMG holy horsefeathers that was better than anything in 2002.

[UMFan83]

Holy horsefeathers that was so fun. I can’t stress enough how dominant that win was and how rare a win of that nature is in the WC by the US. 

Gio scoring to end the game was icing on the cake and felt so good after 2022 and what has gone on with him the last 4 years.
