We got humbled today by Croatia, and deserved as much

But the experience we're gaining in this WC is invaluable. We're not in Kansas anymore, definitely a step up from our play in CONCACAF.

Your team certainly did themselves proud and will steadily improve before the next competition.

Just watched the 3-3 draw between Cameroon and Serbia.

A good advertisement for the competition.

Thanks Jim. We like to play off our front foot, going forward we'll need more balance and an injection of youth
at a few key positions. Our coach as well I think will learn from this. His comments though I don't think were
meant to be disrespectful towards Croatia, did not help us.

Tried to find the article-without any luck.

So it will be written from what I remember.

Day before the match between Wales and Iran, an expert on football from Wales mocked the Iranian team saying they were worthless.

After the defeat, the football expert have tried to withdraw his statements he made before the match-But Internet never forget.

to be sure: based on 7 years of Midwest prep & collegiate soccer myself...it helps to not wear red soccer shoes...one inadvertant click of the heels...and Kansas is buggeraß-cold in November BBY!

Having goaltended against the vastly superior Nigerian national team in the early 70's in a cordial training game(played almost entirely in front of my nets!??

) I'm just tickled the US has managed to tie both Wales (1-1)and England (0-0) thus far...and is up against Iran on Tuesday...with the Iranian team not singing their own national anthem protest-wise; politics ("death to 'merika mentality) should reduce any animosity somewhat.

My bad! Iran wants the US team booted from the WC for improperly and disrespectfully posting the Iranian flag without the flag's sword/arches symbol...JEEZE! they burn our flag("Old Glory") all the time?? Politics as usual I'd guess!

I doubt many if any at all will be taking any notice of anything Iran spouts off about.

That is a pretty dumb thing for them to do.

The most offensive entity at this world cup is FIFA itself.
