would anyone else like to see a USA vs The World All Star Game?
The top 3 MVP candidates are all Team World. USA has more depth, but their best player (Tatum) is out with an achilles. The starting 5 for Team World surely has the edge when you're talking about something like SGA, Joker, Giannis, and Luka, with the 5th Team World starter being chosen from a group that includes Wemby, KAT, etc. Half of Team USA would be eligible for Team Senior Citizen---LeBron, Steph, KD, Beard... Team World heavy favorite on paper. Steph won't care in the 4th quarter though.

Floods - how you can help
I wonder if a central Texas (Longhorn?) legend can do something similar to what JJ Watt did in Houston after Harvey.

That's the family of long time UT law prof. Alex Albright. I had heard through family that she lost a grandchild. Just heartbreaking.

USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
He's our best player, and I even kinda get the rest thing given the our history of treating the Gold Cup as a second rate tournament. But Poch seems old school enough to take the armband away from Pulisic even if he was the previous first choice.

60 day DL ain't the 25 man or 40 man, but LMJ is still one of our own.

Technical disparity was so glaring. I can't remember many decent moves in the attacking third from the US. They kept giving the ball away. If they played route 1 l, Mexico would always be on the second touch even if the US won the header. If they tried to build from the back things would stagnate at midfield and back the ball went. Ream is a warrior center back, but man I was frustrated with how passive he was when he got the ball.

Great crowd tonight. Opening goal had the US fans loud as hell. But credit to Mexico thoroughly outplaying the US from that moment on. US had no answers for the Mexican press. Luna was taken out of the game damn near completely other than the shot he should have put on target at the end of the first half. Handball non call was pretty damn surprising, even if we didn't get replays at the stadium. Better team won. Post mortem for Poch will, and should, be ugly. Yeah it's not the 11 best guys, but from top to bottom USA (mens) soccer is nowhere near ready for next summer. 1994 led to a revolution in this country. I currently fear that 2026 won't do anything at all other than line FIFA's pockets.

I was referring to my very low expectations for our boys. No doubt, these other fan bases have been fantastic, and without getting CR myself, I'll just say it's a shame how things have gone to get us here.

Couldn't resist pairing Witt with Judge. It could be an overpay if Acuna comes back healthy and on fire, but like you said there's risk there.
