    One of the commentators* made a very interesting observation before the game. to paraphrase: "Klinsman has talked about putting players in positions where they are outside of their comfort zone, to force them to lean and grow. For this tournament, Klinsman has put himself outside of his own comfort zone by keeping a steady lineup and putting players where they seem to perform best."

          Amazing what goes through the minds of these people who throw stuff on the field. And when your team is winning the **** game on top of it.

            Just may have cost Croatia the win. Some European fans make even the dumbest American fan look like a Mensa candidate.

              So US Soccer may appeal the Jones send off and Bobby Wood's caution.

              The Jones appeal is likely based the view that Jones only makes contact because the Ecuadorian player bringing his arm caused Jones' hand to make the contact. I don't see how it works but I guess it's worth a shot.

              Wood's caution I think has a decent chance. The caution occurred immediately after the restart from the send offs but Jones was not yet off the field. "Improper restart of play" is one of the few things that can win you any appeal in soccer and there is certainly a case here.

                While I'd like to have both of them, getting Bobby Wood back seems more important, because I don't see the obvious replacement.

                  They weren't fans of Croatian soccer. It's incredibly political. Their goal was to get Croatia kicked out of the tournament. Costing the team the game was a great win for them.

                  For comparison, it would be like if the US team was lauded by (insert American political group here) and violently opposed by (insert name of fringe group here) so members of the latter went to games with the specific goal of getting the US penalized or even kicked out of CONCACAF tournaments or World Cup qualifiers.
