Think it’s time for Kone to get subbed off this second 

[narduch]

Osorio and JRR for Kone and Millar

Osorio and JRR for Millar and Kone.

Finally

EDIT:  Oops, that was in reference to the subs.  I'm old.

Note to self:   Don't just type what you're thinking....oh, wait.

bair and rowe on the bench and david alone up front when you need a goal with 5 min to go is wild

Good game from Millar.

This ref is a bitch

He's been afraid to give us a few things we deserve. The foul, a card. He's even too far from our attack. They get to a point where they serve their masters in the crunch. 

How could neither the ref nor the  assist see that foul on Shaff?

2-0 Argentina

Alright, well, we lasted long enough 

[jonovision]

I understand you need a goal, but Osorio is the most clueless player defensively.

[WestHamCanadianinOxford]

Sometimes you need to hold up your hands

[A.D.I.D.A.S.]

Misplaced passes and turn overs keep killing us 😑

[Hawkguy]

That second goal is rough for any tiebreaks. Really poor. 

[Unnamed Trialist]

Bombito broke the offside because he's dead tired. Fair enough. 

[kacbru]

A deserved score line.  We put some fear in them.  Good showing.

[Miche]

Fine. See the game out. Don't concede a third.

[VinceA]

I think I'm gonna be annoyed with how Marsch approaches substitutions.

[bwilly11]

We've gotten so good I expected us to at least get draw. Great result overall. Truly remarkable how far we've come.

No goals in three games is a big problem regardless of the opposition

I'm guessing he wanted to try to keep at 1 or less ... but that didn't happen either. 2 goals is going to make this very hard.

Why ?

[kacbru]

I like Staq's urgency - he's playing for a goal.
