um all right let's dive in man so i was at the game uh first takeaway was it's amazing how many red portugal seven jerseys i saw today and by the way with people speaking perfect english like all americans i was like man and they were supporting the u.s team but god christian so famous man legend

That was my first takeaway.

The game started well.

It did.

And the energy in the stadium was good.

The energy on the field was good.

It feels a little bit like, though, the team's really fragile.

And you could see it at the...

at the hydration break.

So let's just break down.

People didn't watch.

Matt Freeze started in goal.

They played a back three of Trustee, Richards, and Freeman.

And then Weah played on the right, Jedi Robinson on the left, in Morrison, Berhalter.

mckinney tillman and then christian played as the nine which was interesting and we'll get into they just felt tim you could you know we've been in those games where you're playing either against the team or you're on a team that at the time is fragile and you could see like if one thing goes wrong it's going to break so the challenge is is they started well and they had some chances christian had a great chance it got blocked

and didn't score and pochettino said in his press conference the other or yesterday i think he said i didn't celebrate when we scored against belgium because i had a gut feeling that like it was coming like we were it was coming like the storm was coming yeah and they didn't score and then at the water break what happened was portugal had no control of the game in the first 20 minutes so christian was able to flow and free he didn't have to play with his back to goal he didn't have to deal with any challenges no long balls

And then at the water break, I'm sure Roberto Martinez, who you know well, said, guys, every time they have the ball, we're just fully pressing them and create a long ball.

Because Christian, not his fault.
