The United States booked their place in the last-16 of the World Cup in Qatar with a nerve-shredding 1-0 victory over Iran on Tuesday.

Gregg Berhalter's side went into the clash knowing a win was the only result to take them through, and Christian Pulisic's first-half goal was enough to seal three points.

This was the first entire soccer game I’ve ever watched. The U.S. played well.
I keep saying that the field is too big. It needs to be reduced to more like a football field. The players wouldn’t get quite as tired and it should pick up the speed of the game and the scoring.

I saw that too (I only watched US/Iran). So nice to see normal, traditional behavior with out any political show boating. Save that for after the tournament.

I’ve played on smaller fields. Players get tired on those too. Have you ever watched arena soccer? Very fast paced game.

“Have you ever watched arena soccer? Very fast paced game.”

I’ve seen it and to me it looks a little too small.

American “football” = one hour of play and three hours of commercials and time outs.

We used to play higher scoring games of kickball then that. We’d play until the bell would ring and then we’d line up to go back inside our elementary school.

But they did keep England out of the goal ... so there’s that. Not an easy feat.

Or else what?

Who knows? It’s Iran. And the players refused to sing their national anthem a few days ago, in protest of their oppressive, Islamic government.

The mullahs are likely pretty pissed off at them.

They have my sympathy.

Ditch the offside b.s. to have lines like they do in hockey. Penalize the bad actors who grab their head when their ankle is touched and fall to the ground writhing in pain. Doing so will make soccer more appealing to Americans. Otherwise, it’ll always be a sport for twat-knot wearing wankers.
