The USMNT can win Group D with a game to spare if it beats Australia and gets some help.
Why?
Because of FIFA's new tiebreaker rules, which are different from past World Cups.

Does anyone know of an official Netherlands watch party in Kansas City for Sunday?
Sheena has adopted them as a 2nd team (I'll remind her later they eliminated the US last World Cup).

This is fascinating. I don't know if I want it, having not watched a full game of it, but it's pretty cool.
Di Jerman, siaran Piala Dunia pake overlay diatas pemain yang lagi pegang bola, ada radar (mini map), dan live-data lainnya sepanjang pertandingan.
Bener2 kaya main game bola. 🤯

83 - Chris Richards completed all 83 passes he attempted for the #USMNT against Paraguay, the most passes with a 100 percent accuracy rate by any player in a FIFA World Cup match since 1966.
Perfection.

Fun numbers on Reyna's goal, the #USMNT's fourth. Weah's shot is blocked and picked up wide by Freeman at 96:08. Here is what follows in the next 1:12:
*10 different players touch the ball (all but Antonee Robinson).
*25 passes
*Reyna's goal at 97:20

The stats for the #USMNT in that half were ridiculous
- 15-3 edge in completed dribbles
- 26-2 edge in touches in the opposing box
- 293-91 edge in completed passes
- those numbers are remarkable, and this is against a team that beat Argentina, Brazil, & Uruguay in WC qualifying

With his appearance against Paraguay,
Sebastian Berhalter and his father Gregg became the 24th father-son duo to play in FIFA
World Cup history, and the second for the United States, joining Claudio and Gio Reyna.

I personally love this. With suspensions coming after so few cards, you gotta get it right.
AND you have to get diving out of the game and this is a great way to do that. #USMNT #WorldCup
Mistaken identify has expanded. Previously card given to wrong player on same team. Now a reverse sanction (second bullet point) & a clear simulation missed with yellow to other team is able to be reviewed. Fits into category of getting close to re-refereeing IMO #usmnt #paraguay
