It’s on

First game Morroco - Croatia 0 - 0

It was suppose to be a Croatian win, so ending in a tie is a huge disappointment for them for sure.  

Germany - Japan is on now and I have Germany winning, although it seems nothing is a given this WC so far.

Japan in a stunning win over Germany!

Not sure anyone expected that one!!

2 - 1 Japan over Germany

Spain is making quick work of Costa Rica and looking damn good doing it too.  4 - 0 at this point!

Canada should have it’s hands full against Belgium who are a power house.

Some good games 

Canada played really well if it were for one amazing play by Belgium to secure the only score of the game.  0 - 1

Some great games yesterday which concluded the first round of games for all countries.  To recap.

POR - GHA 3 - 2

Game of the day imo with no goals in the first half and then a 5 goal explosion in the second.

49722454-8F86-4A52-A8CE-E8AE8E5A7EE1.jpeg

BRA - SRB 2 - 1

It was close for most of the game but Serbia couldn’t hold Brazil down towards the end.  It also had the goal of the tournament, just amazing.

Game of the day today should be England - USA can’t wait to see how it goes, with England being the favorites in it, but let’s hope for an upset.

Iran - Whales 2 - 0

This pretty much ends Whales chances of making it to the 2nd round.

Also, must share this.

An absolute beauty of a goal! I’m not sure why USA can’t watch tapes and learn that 1-2 touches inside the 18 are a must. They also can’t comprehend that shooting outside the 18 is in fact allowed.
 

With their power and the quality of the ball ( I got to juggle one at a World Cup store in Disney Springs) it’s a huge threat to take those open shots. Instead they piddle around with the ball hoping to get a tap in. It’s maddening to watch.

Qatar - Senegal 1 - 3

Qatar will pretty much find themselves out of this WC.

Netherlends - Ecuador should be a good match, but I’m still more interested in US - England.

They should take more shots outside the 18’ but no one is really doing it right now, I think Iran has only goal from outside.  But doesn’t mean they shouldn’t try, if there is a threat it will open it up more inside as ol defenders will actually try and cover.

It makes you think though that either England is that good they beat Iran that beat Whales that tied the US?  In theory US will get pummeled, but I’m hoping for an upset.

Can't say I've watched much of this at all. 

Would it not be the strategy of the U.S. to back up the bus, as they say and play for the draw or perhaps a lucky breakaway?

A "pummeling" might not be likely in such a situation.

Pretty much how they’ve always played, which is why we’re never a factor in the WC. Brazil….offense and more offense. US makes a goal and all of a sudden all players convert to being fullbacks. Zero aggressiveness offensively. Doesn’t work.

Ditto

It might work for 1 game but overall it’s a failing strategy at all levels of the sport.

Can only defend for so long before your asked to score.

Fair enough, but probably not the recipe for a "pummeling".

Great Half 

They are definitely playing much better than they did against Whales so far.  It would go a long way for them if they can pull this one off.

    • Miss at the moment is a big heel strike off the driver. Irons appear to be fine at the moment, miss with those is a big push. My grip deffo needs to continue to be worked on. Something Else I also noticed by watching my swing over and over and watching Pro's setup I have noticed that I place my left foot fine, but then when I place my right foot out into position I move my whole body doing so, also moving my centre line and left shoulder back, creating a kind of Eiffel tower base looking effect with my legs, both shoulders are equal distance from the instep of my feet. when I look at most pro setups, their lead shoulder is inline with their lead foot instep, and their trial shoulder has a much bigger gap between the instep of the trail foot. This leads them to look more straight up and down on their lead side and more right knee kicked in on their trail side. if that makes sense AT ALL. I tried this at the range last night, setting up my left foot and then moving my right foot without the body, and the strike was way way better and consistent, turn felt better etc, didnt video it, but something I will likely stick with
    • Day 42 - A lot of pushed shots yesterday, so today was work on fixing that. Partly grip, partly opening my hips more. 
    • Day 297: back to mirror work tonight. Working on slow movement for feels from the wrist stuff. 
    • Day 22: 5/13/25 Putting through gates and weight shift drills with a wedge.
    • I would be happy to hang out with you guys but as of now @DaveP043 and I are planning to stay in Cranberry Township. There’s a bit of travel between the two places, but maybe we can work something out.
