YOUNG AMERICANS
The USMNT was by far the youngest team to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, garnering valuable experience going through the rigors of World Cup qualifying. Through 14 qualifiers, the USA Starting XI came in at an average of 23.82, almost two years younger than the next closest team, Ghana at 25.67. Together, the other 31 participating teams averaged a Starting XI age of 27.5 through qualifying, nearly four full years older than the U.S. Sources say this is one of the youngest, but most talented teams the U.S. has ever fielded. While they may not win the world cup this year, they may garner the experience needed to make a serious run on home soil in the year 2026 when the World Cup comes back to North America.

Once released from hands it cannot be picked directly back up either. So you delay as long as possible before the ref starts his count. Most refs, especially at higher levels, are not strict on the time and will verbally warn the keeper he needs to release.

You're lucky you had such a top ref and team doing this game. Some of the idiot officials might have given that as a pen to the Iranians due to the voracity of their appeals. My favourite ever ref, top lad.

Well, job done.

Be hard to advance beyond this since we seem to be without much of an attacking threat, but credit the team for hanging on.

|Zach| · 11-29-2022, 03:07 PM

Not pretty. Tough sequences in the second half but they kept grinding and did what they needed to do.

They were facing elimination and were just trying everything. It’s to be expected.
