  • Bring on the Dutch!

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to ALL on Wednesday, November 30, 2022 00:21:16
    Hello Everybody,

    Now that the USA has rid itself of the preliminaries,
    downing upstart Iran by a score of 1-0, it is ready to
    take on the Big Boys in the battle for the FIFA World
    Cup.

    First up in the knockout rounds is the Netherlands.
    The USA grounded the Flying Dutchmen 4-3 the last time
    they played - in Amsterdam. Let's see what pale shade of
    orange they turn in Qatar when American strikers find
    their mark on goal ...

    For Life,
    Lee

    Based upon the 2nd half and on the opportunities missed by Iran, there's not much to be proud of.

    They'll have to do better than up till now ... 2 poor draws and a win with Iran holding them by the nuts ...

    Time to book the plane tickets to go home ...

    There is plenty to be proud of.
    The USA won.
    Advancing to the Knockout Round.

    Advancing to the Knockout Round is the name of the game.
    The USA did its part ...

    2 poor draws and a win with Iran holding them by the nuts ...

    Oh, come now. Iran has been to the World Cup six times.
    And six times Iran has failed to advance to the Knockout Round.
    That should tell you someithing.

    Time to book the plane tickets to go home ...

    Exit stage right, Belgium.
    Or maybe it was stage left.
    Doesn't really matter.

    The USA will be hosting the World Cup four years from now.
    Hope to see y'all in New Orleans for Championship Game ...

    For Life,
    Lee
