@Isaacrob901 @USMNTnuisance @benbalberts_ben @usmntaut 12 mins in one game and 9 in the other are "significant"? 😂

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@benwright Been a long time coming, and I say it as a fan. The amount of times Hany has flopped for a foul instead of passing it off to open players has been numerous.

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@USMNT Can't wait to see which defender the fanbase decides to blame for the lack of goals scored from our side 😂

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@KariDaniels Better question is, why should it?

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@Landonicus @GrantChay19 Where did I say he would was "fantastic"? Where's your "historical data"?

You've only provided conjecture connecting a player's 12 and 9 minute stints to a significant loss in a game they did not even play. If it's not scapegoating it's an exaggeration at best. Good day!

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@Landonicus @GrantChay19 I agree with the broader strategic matters you point out, but Brother, no way you're using that to say that Moore is responsible for a loss when he didn't even play 😂

If you are, then that's precisely what scapegoating is.

Appreciate the convo!

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@Landonicus @GrantChay19 Because you didnt bring up England initially, as I had thought. The point remains though

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@Landonicus @GrantChay19 You're trolling at this point. You're the one bringing up the Dutch game now and he didn't even play in it 😂

England 0-0
Iran 1-0

He did not contribute to a loss in the world cup. Fact. Yes, his play wasnt fantastic but the blame against him is over exaggerated

Moving on!

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@Landonicus @GrantChay19 And how did that affect the result, which is precisely my point? It didn't, 0-0. I don't know if you're trolling but you can't disagree with that fact

Shaq was on the roster but didn't play the dutch

End of day we are fans who want to see more from the team in this World Cup.

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@Landonicus @GrantChay19 Well it is a team sport, but scroll up again and you'll see that the original my argument was simply he didn't add nor detract from the result of the game (0-0). Thats fact.

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@Landonicus @GrantChay19 Don't you see that the same question can be asked of the players who "didn't provide" anything in the first 75mins of the game before he was subbed on, also "knowing what the team needed"? Yet the end of game sub was the "indictment", in your opinion? That's scaepgoating

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@Landonicus @GrantChay19 They all did! Which is my point. Actually sounds like you agree

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@Landonicus @GrantChay19 Those aren't mutually exclusive "He neither added" because no passes or plays lead to goal scoring opportunities, but he neither "detracted" because he did a defender's job of not conceding goals.

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@Landonicus @GrantChay19 And that's a defender's fault? Objectively speaking, 0 shots on goal is not indicative of a defense issue. Not conceding a goal is generally what a defender is tasked to do and that game ended 0-0. Surely we can agree on that?

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@Landonicus @GrantChay19 I respectfully disagree. The games he played were already done for before he was subbed in. England ended 0-0. One could argue he neither added nor detracted to the already lackluster performance at that point. Easy scapegoat for fans though

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@GrantChay19 @Landonicus Shaq played less than 30 minutes in the 2022 world cup. What are you talking about?

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@MutedReverie @rawsalerts @sarahadams Yes

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@reddrum88 @JohnMarstonSD @snkr_twitr Brother, just take a look at Nike's stock. The occasional limited sneaker drop selling out isn't indicative of Nike thriving

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@unit_accord @drkwyd @OrdinaryInds I am using the S26 plus and can confirm that I can view your bullshit take from ever angle on the screen

[Cryptico @__Cryptico__]

@FIFAWorldCup I encourage all of you to just wait it out at this point. They're desperate, as are the scalpers who bought up a majority of tickets.
