So who is the starting keeper for this? Turner’s barely played this season right?

Also I don’t know if Dest is still just adjusting but he’s been pretty loving bad for Milan.

Turner if healthy. He has played in most of the Europa League matches except the last 2 due to injury. He didn't play the Carabao Cup match too. So he played 4 matches this season. He must be fresh.

What's Tim Howard doing lately.

Works for NBC's coverage of the Premier League. He is not good at it.

Speaking of FOX, https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/11/18/fox-qatar-world-cup-coverage/

It's a meh commentary teams to really bad compared to what ESPN offered when they had the World Cup. I like Ian Darke and Derek Rae. Jacqui Oatley is decent. John Strong is fine. Not a fan of JP Dellacamera. The co-commentators are pretty bad. Stu Holden is ok at best. Never heard Landon Donovan call matches. Aly Wagner is decent and has a good rapport with Derek Rae. Cobi Jones is awful and same with Warren Barton.

Their studio team is bad too. I wish Alexis Lalas is off television and Dr. Joe is a fraud of a ref.

Since this is the US thread, and I'm sure it's only about discussing the team itself. I'm still gonna ask anyway. Is it the fox sports app that I'll need to watch the matches? Will I need to pay, or are the streams free? I won't be in-front of a TV during the time the matches are going on.

FOX has the English language rights. It will be airing on FOX or FS1 pending matches. It will stream on the FOX Sports app but will need cable authenication. The full replay of matches will be streaming on Tubi TV.
Telemundo has the Spanish language rights. It will air most matches on Telemundo with a few on Universo. It will stream on Peacock for free for the first couple matches but afterwards it will only be for Peacock Premium members.

So I can't throw $10 at Fox Sports app to watch it? It needs to be linked to an active cable/ whatever subscription?

Yep. You can pay like $5/month for Peacock. Looks like the first 12 matches are free and then it is paywalled after that.

Listen I'm FRUSTRATED :smith:

I just don't understand why we can't get a striker with any sense of killer instinct in the box, or why we didn't do jack poo poo on eleventy billion corner kicks this tournament.

USMNT didn't even call up their best strikers for some weird reason. Not that they are good enough though.

do you mean pepi or pefok or someone else? I would have brought at least one of them over haji but it was a bunch of bad choices. sargent would have done a better job than ferreira probably but not exactly a world beater either

Pepi and Pefok are probably the best striker option they have for US. Sargent is good at the pressing, running around but terrible at finishing. I still do not know how Jordan Morris got called him when he was not doing anything for his club team besides being hurt recently.

On the bright side, if US wanted to, they can have their national team train a year before the world cup starts whereas other countries can’t afford to pull their players from the big European leagues.

That did not really work out for the Qatar National Team.
