Please stop saying "debutante".

Said nobody, ever.

It is going to be Torts isn't it?

They’re supposedly trying to hire Bruce Cassidy but Vegas won’t let him interview.

Probably just be like every other team facing elimination and hire Sam Allardyce.

Makes no sense. What are they expecting? The new manager to introduce a new scheme, make some key trades to get the right talent to implement it, and get the team retooled in time for a good stretch run in the second half of the season?

Their season ends in 9 days, not 6 months.

They can do what they want, but Sweden burned the place to the ground and salted the wells.

Helps by having a former MLS Defender of the Year in front of him.

Winner gets Indonesia.

The American Empire claims the land since it was a draw.

BEL 0 - 1 EGY 20;

And it wasn't Salah...

Ashour first international goal.

BEL 1 - 1 EGY 67'

Lukaku subbed on, seconds later he scores with his first touch.
(Will probably officially be an OG)

End of the third quarter. 1-1. Should be a heck of a fourth quarter.

They mean this one

1-1 the final.

 

[Jimjamesak]

Gaming out things a bit but, it’ll be interesting to see who the referee will be for the US-Australia game. Likely either Felix Zwayer of Germany or Istvan Kovacs of Romania. Potentially could be Michael Oliver of England if he’s healthy.

KSA 1 - 0 URU 40'

Saudi Arabia tops group H ahead of Spain and Cape Verde.

Just as we all predicted.
