The tickets and visiting the US are so so expensive in the midst of a global cost of living crisis I do wonder if the whole character of the tournament will further deteriorate. Will it be mostly rich Americans, celebrities etc, and not many actual home fans? I don't imagine too many empty stadiums, but I expect the atmosphere might be a bit muted and shit. Managing to successfully hold the last 3 world cups in post-Crimean invasion Russia, human rights crushing Qatar, and now daylight robbery in Trumps America is a real hatrick of evil.

We've lost this game because of a maybe 10 mins of bad defending. Realy confused why if we were sticking with the formation why we put Pratt on the bench?

Hmm... Actually looking at Baradji maybe hes got the engine for RWB? Definitely don't think Mori can do it

Yeah its a big problem... When Albiousu goes to ACN I really dont know what we do.

McLoughlin does have a real issue with heading the ball up rather than out. Been three in this game.

Kind of feel like if Pratt was playing we wouldnt have conceded two...

Yeah, after i wrote that saw a bit more of the back line and it does seem we are 352. Really confused why we have dropped Pratt who has done nothing wrong.

Great shout that... Hadnt really thought about it but guess they are similar forward runner types. But Ohashi is so much more effective. Gallagher was just a big unit, whereas ohashi carries the ball well and has a bit of skill. And surprisingly strong and physically competitive for his size, while Gallagher was the inverse...

Ohashis been one of our best players all season. Not the best finisher (except just now- brilliant!) but off the ball he is absolutely sensational. How people dont rate him I just dont understand.

How can we have 2 yellows and pompey have 0?

The rovers commentators seem to think were still playing three at the back but im pretty sure we've changed it?

Good pass by Tavares there, but phenomenal from Ohashi.

Real whack on Pears. Hope hes okay - has been good since back in. Our midfield is basically Tavares on his own... Feels a very bold way to setup.

Yeah seems to have complete dropped off now....

How have you got it to work?
