Sounds like preemptive negative nancying to ease the pain of an eventual Qatari win.

Pretty sure the US hasn't been halfassing it at any point throughout this tournament mate.

Agreed, I don't see any lack of effort on the players' part. It's just clear that the main objective from the tournament is to assess the younger/fringe players in a variety of situations, with winning the thing mostly secondary.

Which is fine! Nobody's going to give a poo poo about this in a couple of years, I'd rather know who is worth playing in WC qualifications.

Good subs.

It's the US's to win now. Qatar doesn't look like it has the legs to finish this.

There he goes

Deserved goal but even before that, clear he does so much more than Dike. I love to make fun of him but he does a lot of little things right.

From their reactions at the end of the match, it’s clear the Qatar team didn’t find their inclusion in this tournament as much of a funny gimmick as I did.

Wow. Canada didn't even bring a pennant for the gift exchange between captains.

They must really be surprised to have made it this far.
