Played well for a good hour against Australia, deserved to win.
Got a bit leggy in the second half, but like you were saying, they're through and into the knockouts already and going along quite nicely.
But I think winning the World Cup might be pushing it slightly.
I think more than anything, what's really good is in a country where you're trying to pick up new supporters and increase the pockets of support for the team and people who are genuinely interested, if you get on a roll, then it will be a bit of a magnet for people to latch on to and to follow.
And it is undoubtedly better...
tournament if the hosts do well and hang around for a while and I think we'll see all three well we're certainly going to see two go through but Canada are going to go through at this rate as well and it's no bad thing at all the thing about the USMNT is they do have like decent European level talents they've got Pulisic obviously but they've got McKennie they've got Pepe they've got Balogun they've got others
But I think the moment of reckoning is going to come when the defence gets scrutinised by a team like France or Spain or something like that.
I think at the back and the goalkeeper is where the weakness lies.
And I just don't think they've got it to go all the way.
But, you know, stick around.
OK, so freeze the goalkeeper.
Yeah.
I think that's probably about it.
And I must confess, in game one, I did hear our neighbours over the fence cheering when some of the goals went in.
Yeah, yeah.
They were up and at it.
I think you should say that Duncan has got the look of a bowler who could open at Lords for the Aussies.
Definitely.
It's going Merv Hughes.
It's got a way to go, but, you know, on the way.
