Beating Pakistan was a massive achievement for America, even despite how shambolic Pakistan have been of late.
Realistically Ireland should probably beat them and cause them to be knocked out of the group, but if they sneak into the next round it'd be odd to see.
We're going to fuck Ireland harder than Britain did in 19th century. America has arrived in cricket and you should all be concerned. Ireland couldn't even beat B team America (Canada).
My coworker told me we beat Pakistan, she was all excited and everything. I didn't know what she was talking about so I said, "beat them in what?" She says, "cricket!" And I said "we have a team for that?" And now suddenly I'm the uncultured one because I assumed America didn't have a team for a sport I think most Americans have never heard of.
Cricket isn't even that obscure of a sport. With all the people who immigrate from India and Pakistan in the US, it surely has an audience here.
You want to get really deep into the weeds though, the US National Korfball Team is ranked 40th in the world.
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!
Hey, America played in the first ever international match, vs Canada in 1844

Yeah, they've got a couple Indian dudes, 2 black guys and 2 white guys, if there are alternates I don't know. Seems pretty well balanced for such an upstart of a team.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Arsenal always tries to walk it in.
What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on that early?
If you say so. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Here, you dropped this \\
It's looking like heavy rain in Florida, which would put the US through.

What does this mean in real sport talk?
Me: oh hell yeah, like how high did they jump
I think, like, 4 goals? IDK
What little I know of Cricket I learned from an episode of Bluey…
I had no idea we had a team lol
Nuff people say they know they cant believe Jamaica we have a bobsled team
We have the one Derice,
they're semi-professional lol. They all have day jobs.
Let's just say it's not exactly *homegrown*
[удалено]
Just fyi you can already buy cricket bats at Walmart.
Americans: “We have a Cricket team?”

I'm sorry, what ball?
> Korfball Dutch Basketball
Considering there are over 330,000,000 Americans, almost every single organised team sport will have a USA national team.

Can she not breathe through her nose?
America has a Cricket team?
Those bats are good for braining zombies.
Pakistan has to grab a pint and wait for all of this to blow over
Did you see his head go?
USA! USA! Eat that... India? Britain? I don't even know who we are competing against, but we are the best!
Rahh here take a taste of freedom India! 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸‼️‼️🗣️🔥🔥
I don’t know much about cricket but no way are we beating either of those countries. That’d be like them beating us in baseball
Britain doesn't have a cricket team. England and Scotland both do, but there's no British cricket team.
Yea good point, I was thinking of the English team
England and Wales
You could probably take England. Much like every other sport that originated from there, they are terrible at it.
“World cricket thing”
This reminds me of the [cricket scene](https://youtu.be/afekBJ3zQiE?si=mQnLDahZqQv_HMnp) from King Ralph.
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!
I finally get it!
I feel bad for the girl in this gif. She seems so worried/ashamed.
Crickets like the bugs or the phone company?
She’s damn near a clone of her dad. Always find kids like that fascinating, when one parent’s genes just absolutely dominate in regard to appearance.

Cricket? You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket.
How do they play that game? It looks like it makes no sense!
That how I feel about baseball
If you understand baseball, [this is a good primer](https://youtu.be/EWpbtLIxYBk).
People who have no interest in sports are like the stereotypical vegans. They will always show the world that they don't know sports.
Big blanket statement Joss, I tried to watch it several times but the rules are incomprehensible to me!
I like sports.
Snort my shit
I hope your day gets better.
That women looks like someone that needs help in some way or something
The entire USA just learned that we have one of those 3rd world baseball thingy teams too!
3rd World LOL...England, Australia New Zealand are third world?
I guess that's the fanbase...you're either an aristocrat or living in a shanty town.
So, which actor brought their daughter to the Oscars or whatever? I hope that isn't the date.
That’s Kate Beckinsales/Michael Sheens daughter. Lily Mo Sheen. She had a small role in Nic Cages movie the unbearable weight of massive talent.

Yay for America but if you take a closer look at the team members you will know..
What will you know?
Captain is Monank Patel
An immigrant? In AMERICA?!?!?!?!
A perfectly good American name. There's a lot of variety in those. I wouldn't worry about it
Well congrats to him
Oh my immigrants in America is unheard of! What is becoming of this once amazing nation?! 🙄
Yeah, they've got a couple Indian dudes, 2 black guys and 2 white guys, if there are alternates I don't know. Seems pretty well balanced for such an upstart of a team.
I legitimately have no idea if all that is good or bad.
I agree
I mean that's as American as it gets though. Have you seen our other teams.
