# | USA's Alex Freeman, Son of Hokie Legend Antonio Freeman, Scores His First World Cup Goal Throughout my nearly 60 years of Hokiedom, I have found that Hokies can be found pretty much anywhere from a crowded bar or airport to a trout stream in the West, to other countries and yes, even in Charlottesville. We B Everywhere!
USA officially tops their group! 3rd time in history (1930 and 2010).
Quick Paraguay goal. Good for the USA.
I love this idea. I haven't seen this proposed before.
The rule already existed — at least in the old system when transfers were regulated. Players could transfer for free to FCS/JUCO provided they had at least two years of eligibility.
I've known about it forever because growing up as a fan of VMI (who generally can't get transfers), we would always play teams in our league that got FBS transfers who could play right away. Needless to say, it did not turn out well. (Though it appears the Keydets do have a few transfers this year... interested to see what they look like on 9/5).

# | USA's Alex Freeman, Son of Hokie Legend Antonio Freeman, Scores His First World Cup Goal I was sitting next to a Packers fan (who, by the way just had his oldest child graduate high school and is going to be at VT next fall) and when I pointed out he was the son of a Hokie he was quick to correct me that Antonio Freeman played for the Packers. I politely pointed out we were both right and he bought me a beer. Win. Win.
Billable hours ain't play nobody PAWLLL
Messy 2nd half. We were happy not to possess, which has been strong through the first three halves. Aussies pressed hard which made it difficult, but thought we were sloppy coming back to the ball in passes. Clean sheet is great. And AUS never really had great chances in the 2nd half.
Best start to a tournament I've seen from the men in forever.
Only if you bet on the wrong horse!
Did what we needed to though things did get a little dicey there in the 2nd half. Could have been just a tad more aggressive looking for another goal instead of being content warding off Australia's attacks. Started getting tired there in the later minutes too. I thought they'd concede a goal, but somehow managed to keep it clean. Sucks about all those cards though. Get a good result tonight from Turkey/Paraguay and just sit anybody on a card.
Need Paraguay to win tonight so they can think about sitting some of the yellow card guys so they dont risk a 1 game suspension
Clean sheet. This game says more about this team than the last. Subs came on and played well. Don't let the score line fool you.
To be fair, you'll miss several hours of other experiences the other way.

# | USA's Alex Freeman, Son of Hokie Legend Antonio Freeman, Scores His First World Cup Goal Let's GO
Thank you and to LTR2k! That makes sense.
No. He was solidly onside. The other player was off and thankfully freeman boxed him out and the refs didn't consider him to have impacted the play.
Not according to VAR. The defender all the way at bottom of screen, outside the box, had not pushed up the field.
Question for the soccer nerds: was that offsides?
FREEMAN!!! LET'S GO! HOKIES!
Gooooaaaaaallllll (defacto Hokie Freeman)
I'll say it. I don't like the new tie break rules. By putting h2h ahead of gd and gf it makes a lot of the final group stage matches meaningless. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the US have topped their group and earned the right to play against a 3rd place team in the r32 but it sucks that Türkiye has nothing left to play for bedsides pride and the US has no reason to treat the last game as anything other than a friendly. The Australia Paraguay match will be far more interesting since they will be jockeying for 2nd. But the fact that the Türkiye US game has zero impact on the outcomes in the group is lame. And it won't be the only group like that. There will be a bunch of meaningless final group stage matches, which takes away from some of the magic of the tournament. I hope they realize this was a big mistake and go back to previous rules in future tournaments.
