I think it’s hard to explain to foreigners how funny it is that MetLife is hosting this game. An awful stadium where awful teams play in a random north Jersey town. It’s so silly.

Look at what England did straight after scoring:

Timing of Argentina's winners in the knockout rounds:

vs. Cape Verde: 111th minute
vs. Egypt: 92nd minute (stoppage time)
vs. Switzerland: 112th minute
vs. England: 92nd minute (stoppage time)

They haven't led after 90 minutes of any knockout game. But they're in the final.

England let Southgate walk because he was too conservative with strategy/subs when leading in big games and his replacement took it so much further. That was so soooooo bad.

[DK @dmkrieg]

@_Zeets The full tuck of the shirt says it all. Even Gretzky went half tuck.

[DK @dmkrieg]

Imagine a back four with him and Djed. That team would never face a relegation fight that would bring its fans to the precipice of a nervous breakdown.

Porro has been absolutely unreal this World Cup 😂😂😂😂

Spain is going to turn everyone back into an Argentina fan if they win tomorrow

Odd ending to this anecdote but it is a good microcosm of US men’s soccer. Current level of dedication is good to enough to beat average teams, but they won’t sniff the big dogs until something systemic changes in the development and expectation level of top prospects.

[Tom Bogert @tombogert]

Mere months after making his USMNT debut as a 17-year-old, Christian Pulisic approached Jürgen Klinsmann with a request: Can I leave camp for a night to attend my hometown senior prom?

“I don’t know how important something like that is, I didn’t grow up in the U.S.,” Klinsmann told The Athletic. “I told him to give me a couple minutes.”

Klinsmann called his wife, Debbie, who is U.S. born and raised, to get her thoughts. He wasn’t sure just how much a prom can mean to a kid. She quickly explained and, in fact, she implored her husband to say yes.

Are you serious? Klinsmann asked his wife. She insisted: Absolutely you have to let him go.

Klinsmann took her guidance to heart. He relayed to Pulisic: You’re clear to go as long as you’re back in time the next morning.

Prom was the day before the USMNT faced Bolivia. That night, Pulisic became the youngest goalscorer in USMNT history.

Pulisic skipped the Gold Cup—much to the dismay of many current & former teammates & his coach—to be “best ready” for the World Cup.

He then went 6 months without scoring before the World Cup & then in the 5 games of the World Cup he missed one & left two early with injury.

@sportjcb Characters change but story is the same. European teams are a level above us. Not sure what will change it either. Kinda sad!

[DK @dmkrieg]

I love when a game is super hyped and it ends up being even better than you expected. That was so sooooo good.

English journalists completely shedding their professionalism during major tournaments is my favorite part (and he’s right!)

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

One man dragged England back from the brink. One man rescued Thomas Tuchel’s job. One man stopped England fans from going home, empty of heart and pocket. That man was Harry Kane. England are still in this World Cup because of one man. Astonishing footballer. #ENG

[DK @dmkrieg]

Let the record show that Justin Fields inspired Harry Kane to one of the best goals of his career. Harry almost as good as Justin was Week 1 vs the Steelers.
