Wow. What a match. Gotta hand it to Pulisic. He's been average until this tournament, and he has become the leader of this team with actions. He sold himself out on that goal. And the US almost blew it with a very soft park the bus and being totally gassed, but Iran played it dumb to keep trying to go over the top. Our players are more athletic and bigger, so 50-50 balls worked in our favor -- and the hard head of Zimmerman. I would have hated to see Iran working the ball into the box. And nine minutes of stoppage time? Wow...

All in all, great win for the US and a winnable Netherlands game on Saturday!

(Senegal? Surprise number 1... let's see which others pop up!)

I know virtually nothing about soccer. So can someone put into perspective what the US beating the Netherlands in the round of 16 would be equivalent to?

Would it be like Iowa or (a typical) Wisconsin college football team beating Alabama or Georgia or more like UW-Whitewater beating Alabama or Georgia?

USA is like a good G5 team...think UCF, Cincy.

Netherlands is about as easy of a draw as they could hope for in first round. Netherlands should win, but they are beatable by the USA. Like a top end Pac-12 team...Oregon, Utah, etc.

Wish we'd have signed Tata instead of Turdholder...he's a very good manager.
