The idea, as you said, was he wanted them to gel, but instead of gelling, they kind of congealed.

It's difficult to take any positives out of it.

And when you see how Mauricio Pochettino approached the game for the US in terms of the rotations, if anything, it solidified who his starting lineup is.

Whereas this has just only cast more doubt onto who people think should be starting.

And particularly the centre of midfield, Felix Nemecha, who's been great so far, had a really poor game.

But it also just raised questions in everyone from Denis Undav to Joshua Kimmich to Jürgen Klopp all said, look, it's very clear that Ecuador wanted it more.

And Julian Nagelsmann refused to admit that.

He's like, no, no, that Ecuador were just wanting to take more risks.

And...

I think you need everybody being on the same page from how they're seeing things.

And of course, you can say, well, sometimes coaches are just saying one thing in the media and another thing behind closed doors.

But Julian Hogsman is always pretty truthful in terms of the tone of what he's saying anyway.

So, yeah, I think there are a few concerns.

Two things.

Worth mentioning that Egypt-Iran is in Seattle and this is the designated pride game.

So, yeah, seeing how that all goes down is something I'll be keeping an eye on.

I just want to mention with Spain that, not actually something to do with the game, but probably my favourite clip that I've seen online of the World Cup so far, which is Borja Iglesias and Pedro Porro

messing about, playing a bit of basketball.

And Pedro Porro sinks one and he turns to the camera and goes, Michael Jackson.
