Feels like England is playing a very deliberate style. Guessing they want to be smart about taking chances early and then try to turn it on late?
-
Here we go. -
The only thing worse than striking out looking yet again with RISP is wasting a challenge on a pretty clear strike. (I’m aware he had an RBI double today, just saying)
-
Obviously still several innings left but finishing a homestand 3-3 after winning the first 3 would be pretty annoying
-
Maybe we should have scored more runs
-
Orange Man has taken credit for it on Truth Social apparently in the least shocking thing ever.
-
I can’t believe it, that’s awesome. Better win now
-
Do we know how to protect with 2 strikes?
-
wtf offense
-
of course that just misses tying the game
-
pretty cool of Marquee to show the 7/4/16 Cubs game at the same time as this one so we can watch better baseball.
-
Clutch as always Breggy
-
Ugh, not looking good right now
-
How the hell was he out so easily yikes
-
The Cardinals have scored 26 runs in their last 13 innings. 8 in the last 3 innings on Thursday, 17 in 9 yesterday and 1 so far in the 1st today.
-
Damn, gonna be 100 degrees in Philly for the France-Paraguay game. I'm sure France's talent and depth will win out but maybe gives Paraguay a slightly higher chance? Like 1%
-
Down to +6 RD over the last 2 games
-
Cubs are on fire, outscoring opponents 23-14 over their last 2 games
-
Think I’d rather have Wicks and all his warts starting over this tool
-
So much for ground ball pitcher. That’s 2 HR already since joining the team.
-
It’s both I think. The altitude is obviously a big deal but also it’s CONCACAF craziness. I’m not saying England doesn’t have to deal with some interesting atmospheres in some UEFA countries but England playing at Azteca feels like a fish out of water. on the other hand you’re right that most of their competitive games there are against CONCACAF minnows. And while the US has never won a legitimate competitive match there, they are technically undefeated in their last 4 games there (1 win, 3 draws). So yeah I get it, Azteca mystique is probably bigger than their actual advantage, but England playing there also feels very interesting. We’ll see how it goes, either way it’s one of the more intriguing games I can remember in years.

Edit: double post

England is clearly the better team. I think the doubting them at Azteca has to do with the fact that everyone expects them to have an epic choke at some point since that's what they're known for (similar to the 2016 Cubs, that's their label until they prove otherwise), and playing a host country at a notoriously difficult place for opponents seems like an reasonably likely place for it to happen. But like I said earlier, it could definitely be one of those things where people overthink it, then the game starts and you realized you shouldn't have doubted the clearly more talented team.
-
Obviously thrilled we won but it’s bittersweet because we saw how much Balogun was affecting the game when he was in. We can win with Pepi up top but we’re gonna have to alter our tactics a bit to account for both having someone quite as dynamic finishing for you.

I blame me for posting this too soon.
