I sure hope they don't dwell on this game and can quickly put it out of mind. The celebrations they are going to have this weekend is going to be a bit bitter.

wonderful, seems like we gonna cancel playing the match ( I hope so).
they can't impose their agenda on us.

Egyptian Football Association has made its position clear and refuses to compromise on societal values.
The source categorically confirmed that if FIFA were to officially inform the Egyptian delegation of any activities of this kind, it would be because these events are completely incompatible with the deeply rooted societal and religious values of the Egyptian and Iranian peoples, stressing that moral and national principles supersede any sporting considerations.

What a shame... so many incompetent teams advanced to the next round.
but Turkiye was eliminated.
Australia and Paraguay will just play cowardly defense and still get eliminated in the next round... Teams like that don't add any excitement to the tournament.

Honestly don't know what the panic is about. USA should simply be glad they have no new injuries or suspensions and move on. This result is irrelevant. You have to remember that Turkiye had nothing to play for so went hell for leather just for some pride for their fans. USA were probably being conservative. Moreover, Turkiye are a competitive team on paper and their early results were not a true reflection of their capability.

AND its been held in 3 different countries. Mexico has historically had massive stadia.
The fact this WC has 48 nations importing their fans to the designated nations - naturally the attendance is going to go through the roof in todays global world.
Some will take unnecessary credit for this

Blaming others because Turkey lost 2 winnable games? Turkey should have beaten them…… simple

Australia and Japan betrayed us lol I'm kidding.
The chance of advancing with 3 points is still high. South Korea and Scotland are already eliminated because of negative GD. We need 2 more teams to get eliminated.
In Group H, a draw between Capo Verde & Saudi Arabia or Uruguay and Spain is bad for us. If Spain defeats Uruguay, one more team will be eliminated.
Senegal and Iraq most likely will be both eliminated as well. I doubt Senegal could defeat Iraq with more than a goal difference of more than 3, unless the Iraqis try to eliminate us.
In Group J, the worst result for us is a draw between Algeria and Austria. Either side wins, we'll go to the next round.
Also, if Uzbekistan stops DR Congo (likely), or Ghana defeats Croatia (not very likely), we will move to the next round.

It's called paranoid. I come from a city where our pro sports teams spectacularly where able to screw-up something that was handed to them. I would have preferred if the US lost 2-1 instead of last play of the game where you could see their faces totally dejected.
I've been in two situations in Varsity (baseball)sports where we've sealed first place in our division where the last game of season was meaningless and both games were a loss. In one game we played all out but we got behind very early and by wide margin and by middle of the game we were already thinking about our playoff game and were getting excited and before we left the locker rooms we have totally forgotten about the game.
The other game was a slugfest we were behind all game by one score until the last inning we took the lead by a point and since they were home team they got the last at bat and with one out left they walked off a win and it affected us for days which likely resulted in our playoff loss.
The US loss was bad because of the way they lost the game. I just hope they can quickly forget it and move on unlike my team.
