I’ve watched USA soccer since who knows when. Went to a WC game at the Cotton Bowl in ‘94. Watched most if not all USA WC games since then. By far, that was their best performance I have ever seen.

Unrelated note, can’t wait to see Zlatan just punch Lalas in the mouth.

Should have put some sort of money on Cape Verde.

Cape Verde's keeper was singlehandedly the reason they drew in that match.

Tunisia have sacked manager Sabri Lamouchi. Move had been coming for awhile as there were issues between him and their FA in the lead up to the tournament.

Herve Renard, who will be managing his 3rd separate nation in as many World Cups (Morocco 2018, Saudi Arabia 2022), has been hired as Lamouchi's replacement.

A story like this wouldn't have been written if the field hadn't been expanded.
