USA
Bosnia & Herzegovina


First half went as expected for me, a attacking USA while Bosnia sits back, early on almost a olimpico from Bosnia but thats the only chance they got. Balogun with a disallowed goal but after that he did get the 1-0 finally. Only the third USA player to score 3+ goals on the World Cup, Bert Patenaude with 4 in 1930, and Landon Donovan with 3 in 2010. Second half yet again more of the same, rough red card for Balogun, i think its red but also unfortunate since he didnt mean it. But ive seen them given for less too and i think ankles and such should be protected this way. Even with 10 USA still was better. Super disappointing game from Bosnia. Made even worse when Malik Tillman scored the 2-0. I quite like this USA team, they play well and its enjoyable to watch, didn’t think id be rooting for them lmao. Bosnia never showed any intent to score, or maybe theyre just not good enough to even be able to try. Either way i expect a little bit more from them, they played like they lost the game at kickoff. USA - Belgium will be interesting and with Balogun suspended i really have no clue who i rate more. Edin Džeko is the oldest outfield player to have featured in a World Cup knockout game. Proper old timer did he even do anything this game lmao. Man of the Match Antonee Robinson for me, defensively was good and was dangerous a couple times on the offense too. Just put in a good shift and he deserves praise for that. Also another exact prediction so im still first on leaderboard, yayyyy.

Truth be told I did not expect to see this quality of football being played by this group for the USMNT! I went Tillman MOTM for similar sentiments as you did for Robinson- they put in a proper seven shift at work and helped in the realms of advancements.🤷🏾♂️🫡
Why did I change the prediction💔💔💔💔
@harris You tried to get a differential and failed 💔 respect the risk though
