When goal differential is a tie breaker, that's not a smart play.

How do you propose to sub out all of your best players with only three

Left Shark Coug

You can't sub them all out. You can switch the positions they play and tell

Read more from this thread on other reasons USA didn’t do this.

You are entitled to whatever opinion you want. I think it is embarrassing

The only people that care are sensitive Americans.

Ahh, the old I know what everyone else in the world is thinking argument

in international soccer, women's and men's, each team gets a max of 3 subs per

Exactly. Two of the subs were done in the 57th minute.

If it was a youth team: Yes. But for a world cup: No.

Nothing compared to Australia's men's team in World Cup qualifying in 2001.
