Fans viewing on TV have different levels of, erm, expertise but did we really need the Beeb to tell us that coaches were using the Hydration breaks to give out tactical instructions? USA vs Australia: at the second goal it looked like an onrushing Aussie defender was taken out by a Murican player as he tried to block the shot from the edge of the box, the goal might not have survived VAR in the SPFL. I've enjoyed the amount of physical contact the refs have allowed in the tourney so far, for a long time it seemed like we were drifting towards "soccer" becoming a non contact sport. As tonight's game is in Boston could we get a chorus of Sweet Caroline between the third & fourth quarters?

As expected, back to a formation that's seen us win big games.   

USA 2-0 Australia, final score.  Australia picked up in the 2nd half but hardly troubled the keeper.
