Penalty kick! 

[dyslexic nam]

Arm extended from the body horizontally and it stopped the ball from going towards the net.   

[dyslexic nam]

Yessir 

[solsous]

Let's make it count.

[jhoops__]

What’s happening?

[Jedi Ram]

Now let's get this goal... 

[gator]

Get in!

[canuckgbp]

[solsous]

It counted.

[dyslexic nam]

Goooaaaal

[beachesl]

yes, Abe Lincoln did it!

 

[Jedi Ram]

Oh yes... FINALLY

[gator]

Well taken because the keeper was close!

[Unnamed Trialist]

Goal! Pumped at that one.

I think the guy who committed the penalty was on a yellow, but I really don't know the card rules anymore when penalties are given.

[jhoops__]

How much time left, lads?

You just convinced me it wasn't 🤣

[dyslexic nam]

Now to see it out. 
 

I know some of the play has been a bit labored but after the first two games this is better.  We are seeing the team improving steadily thoughout the tournament as I hoped. If we can get through this one successfully maybe we can build into peak form that lets us get it done next time around. Still seems unlikely but our trajectory is right.  

Loss, tie, win, winning   That is the right path

Lovely how Franklin sold that foul, we are learning.

[Jedi Ram]

Pass man pass

[beachesl]

Yes, as ref seemed bound not to do VAR review

[Olympique_de_Marseille]

The ref seems gassed. Didn't give the full additional time.

[Unnamed Trialist]

A couple things.

Our fitness is holding up fairly well. They in contrast are tiring and missing easy stuff.

We probably miss a bit of playmaking with Catavolo off, someone to do it in front of Smith. 

Love to see us Concacaf.
