To be fair, the Dutch scored all of the goals, including the one they gave to us just to help us feel better.

I actually kinda felt bad for the Iranian players.

They'll probably be executed when they return home.

As the winning goal was scored, the entire stadium was rumbling with the sound of snoring

3 goals were all from umarked players. pretty pathetic..basic stuff you learn as a kid.

Also, the coverage afterwards was sad. Nothing but hopium. I’ve been hearing the same chit about US Soccer for 30 years. There is no pressure to be great so they will never be great. You can’t be happy with losing, ever.

To each their own. I personally can't watch NFL football because it's so boring.

While our players will just be ignored when they get back unless they fall over, grab their legs and scream in the airport terminal.
