Just continuing from yesterday's thread, I don't think the Wondo opportunity was ruled offside. I feel for the guy, still, one can picture other players in this position. One stands to get a rebound if they kick it on frame and one would think a lot of talent would have made this.

A moment that will go down in US soccer-lore, should he have made it? A bit like the Field Goal missed by the Buffalo Bills in the Superbowl.

Best to leave it at that.

There was a very small window for Wondo to shoot at if he wanted to go top. Courtois was in good position to snuff if, had the shot been lower.

What Wondo should have done was to go low past Coutrois’ feet.

"I'll be completely honest, watching them play Azerbaijan, inside, part of me was thinking, I hope the game doesn't go very well today," Plaschke quotes Donovan as saying.
