Too much honor paid to England by trying to be cheeky with the final set piece, imo.

Yeet that fucking ball into the box and see what happens.

Lot of effort. Team still lacks really true quality to score. No danger from our "9" is not an optimistic reality.

Young guys working really hard --- admirable --- even with the occasional mistake. Turner is still our savior.

I want to give some credit to the young man who I felt was most outmatched during the game. This was our left back Robinson.
Saka was making his life entirely miserable all first half. But he never let down. Fought it hard all game. When Saka was subbed, I blew out a breath. England then had to alter their attack lane to Grealish's side. Usually when I see a soccer guy getting outplayed by someone, I see some slumping in the lesser player. Not Robinson. Held his head and effort up. Kudos to him.

I try to be upbeat about this team. Can't. Hate 0-0 (non-)scores. One thing that the old hated Mexico could do was score. To a lesser (post-Chicharito) degree, they still can and look dangerous. If we still look like we have, I believe that we can outplay Iran and still lose the match.

What I had in mind was a Louis Black stand up bit where he was holding a fake gun and said Iran Iran Iraq but I couldn’t find a clip, gif or meme of it. So if anyone remembers it, it was funny otherwise all apologies.
