Not really a sensible thing to do with James as the only real pace.
Bale looks like a passenger at the moment and just can't get involved.

And boom, now let's see how the try to change things up because they'll get tumped if they carry on like this.

I agree but as soon as they didnt play Moore, you knew what they were going for. The thing is USA are pretty good ont he counter and transitions I guess so it makes some sense what Wales want to do - they dont have the players to do it.

Nice goal by USA, they look a handful
Apart from the fact that Wales will do a West Ham when it comes to playing us, USA are the team to watch in our group.
Their fitness and athleticism is always going to make games hard.

There’s certainly been a big upturn in the quality of players being produced by USA.

They’re now a decent side albeit a little light up top and a drop in quality at centre back.

They’re also hot headed and have a gung-ho attitude which against the better sides will be to their detriment.

Wales look disjointed. Terribly disorganized. US looks disjointed on occasion but having moments and appear better than expected. Should give Iran a good game if this quality continues. The only reason i think they could hurt England is Maguire and friends. Harry should do all right against the back line though. US doesn't have enough to get a victory and probably not a tie, but second is a definite possibility.
