Sterling keeping up club form...

bold strategy by Tunisia leaving him alone at the goalmouth.


How would the US match up against England?

Are we comparable in talent? Are they technically superior and better developed?


Every England starter is better than the US similar position

That being said, England would just be England and probably lose to us in the Group Stage of the World Cup. Pulisic is better than some wingers (Trippier perhaps?) who plays for England, but Kane is much better than Pulisic in an up top position.

Also, that statement wasn't even close to true for the 2010 matchup. Howard was WAY better than Rob Green, but even Dempsey and Donovan matched up up well or better than the England starter and even Altidore was probably better than Rooney.


Pulisic is more similar to Sterling than he is to Kane

Kane is a great version of Wondo - opportunistic scorer based on positioning and aerial ability vice technical dribbling skills / speed.

But yes I think Sterling is better than Pulisic (currently) as well.


They’d have the edge 9 out of 10 times

What would Ashley Young say he does here?

Such a typical Kane goal.


As is Kyle Walker...

a history of dumb.


Agreed, but how about calling it both ways?

I’m biased, but why does it seem like Tunisia is being allowed to Greco-Roman style wrestle Kane to the ground on every cross into the box?


Did you see the English corner in the first half ...

where, off the ball, the Tunisian defender simply grabbed Kane in the box and threw him down? There was no way it was going to be called, as it had nothing to do with the front-side play, but I would have smiled if it had been called. And it would have been upheld.
