Cody Cropper should be starting in goal for US vs Spain in 20 minutes.

 

We should get to see how good he is, he will get plenty of action

 

Saúl Ñíguez of Spain. Quality midfielder (surprise surprise). Very highly rated, bags of potential.

 

On eurosport btw

 

Cody just let one in, in his defence a defender got in his way.

 

Yanks missed a sitter.

 

Interesting to see Cody has learned how to juggle, from Boruc!

 

Beaten again, but the defending is a bit dire. 2 0 Spain

 

You don't save those.

 

3 0 Spain.

 

Surely Spain aren't going to win this tournament as well!

 

Oh dear, Cropper had a nightmare for the 4th.

 

Cody getting plenty of practice, an inch away from getting a red card there though

 

Cody doing a Tommy Fourpast, to be honest the Yanks have no pace in defence, being done for speed every time, Cody has made a few good stops.

 

In the other game Portugal are 3 - 2 up, led 2 - 0, went 2 -2 then they scored another against Nigeria.

 

Yanks got one back. 1 - 4

 

Finished 1 - 4

 

Jese and Deulofeu are absolute quality.

 

Saw highlights of Cuba v South Korea. Ref was using spray paint to mark 10 yards at free kicks. Can't see that coming into the EPL
