Free Kick won at top of box arc by McGuire. Last chance for England at 90 plus 10.
Rashford curls it over wall to top netting outside of goal. 2-1 France wins.
Ref was weak this game so England will cry about that.
It is not “coming home.”
I did not want to see this game end. Another good one! Qatar WC has been great so far.

I just think you are being inconsistent - if you want Greg fired, by all means fire him - who you got to replace him? Either way, the US generated attacks against the Dutch and if Pulisic puts that first goal in 3 minutes, it obviously becomes a very different game. Out possessed the Dutch and outshot them but was not clinic inside the box. To say good teams miss chances means we are a good team that missed our 17 chances (8 on frame) - scoring 5 goals in 55 minutes is highly against the norm, so using that example as a reason to fire Greg is just not a good argument. This was not the Belgium game in 2014 where we got pounded with 39 shots (17 on frame - 15 saves from Timmy). This was certainly not our efforts in 2018's World Cup where we didn't qualify. We can compete with these teams. If Greg is fired, there is only one Coach that needs to be inconsideration - Robert Millar. The only Coach to get the USA to the semi's. I wonder if his morse code phone is still operational. Send the man a telegram already! I'll by that man a whiskey. Agree to disagree is fine - onto England and France. One last thing tank. If Berhalter is kept on as coach, I am going to pull for him and hope he can make things happen. I will not be one of those constant gripers always angry in the chat rooms. It is a tough job and he did get us out of the group which is a good thing.

I'll admit to being a bit of a Ronaldo fan-boy. I'd hoped to see Portugal vs Argentina in the final for the narrative alone. Disappointing from Portugal. Credit to Morocco for playing well but come on. Portugal were not creative and very poor in terms of finishing. I expect France to have no problem with Morocco and expect France to win the tournament

France 1 Morocco 0 5th min. Hernandez
Fox 8 New Orleans is broadcasting storm service so no volume here, with a split screen of the game and weather radar. I rather watch in Spanish than hear about a storm not in my neighborhood.
Storm coverage goes off at the 25th minute and the game was very active after that with a few good chances for both sides, including a bicycle kick that was saved by Lloris in extra time of the first half.
The Moroccan crowd with the piercingly loud whistling going on throughought the entire France possession. 1-0 halftime.
2-0 Final. WHO DAT extreme weather coverage during the beginning and end of the game really ruined the excitement and feel of a dramatic world cup semifinal. I will complain to Fox8.
