    This is an moronic move. Turner has played great and Steffen has hardly played for MC. I'm honestly torn if I want them to win tonight. The only way Greg isn't the coach in Qatar is if this starts falling apart.

    I don't have a problem with a MLS coach if they're qualified. Berhalter hadn't accomplished shit other than one hot streak to make the MLS Cup Final. His teams were not great offensively even in MLS. There were a ton of red flags with this guy from the beginning. As an example, Pareja would improve this team instantly.

    I think we all share the same concerns about Berhalter. I will say, I still think this team qualifies with relative ease in the end, especially if they take care of Costa Rica tomorrow. The upsetting part to me is he's going to absolutely cost points in group play in Qatar. We can all see this coming from a mile away. He's going to run some of his pets out there (Arriola, Lleget, Zardes) in some game where we have better options and it is going to suck. I know I'm probably in the minority, but I would love to give Bob Bradley a run with this group of talent since there probably isn't a better option in the near-term. I know his tenure didn't end on the highest note, but he can coach circles around Greg. Would probably have to pull the trigger after the next round in November, though.
  4. I just don’t see wining the conference this year. Both lines are just way too much of a liability. 9 wins would be a very good first year with this roster.
  5. I said 9-3 going into the season and I’m sticking with it. I think we lose one to either ISU or Baylor. Massive deficiencies on both lines is going to cost us at least one more. There’s no way to scheme around it.
  6. I understand the angst with PK. This was an awful day defensively after Rattler left the game. I still think we have severe talent deficiency more than a coaching problem. 47 at linebacker tries his ass off, but he is so overmatched. We also have absolute shit for pass rush and a secondary that doesn’t seem to be able to track the ball at all. I’m honestly not sure what else PK is supposed to do other than bring more heat in the 2nd half. There are massive talent holes at every level on defense. That’s not surprising about the LBs, but damn I thought the DTs would at least be able to disrupt some shit this season.
  7. It's the same 2 higherups who resigned several weeks ago.
  8. WVU has a way better pass rush than us. That’s very disappointing. I don’t think we’ll be able to do this to Rattler.
  9. I will first start off saying that I’m a simpleton who doesn’t know shit. That being said, after CT’s bowl performance it was a major concern this new staff thought Card was the guy. I’ve never been a fan of QBs from system schools like LT, Southlake, etc and tonight has done nothing but confirm that. Hopefully this is corrected going forward and we still have a decent season.
  10. Honest question regarding the mandates: is it legal for the feds to simply require proof of vaccination or prior infection for domestic flights? I'm skeptical this company mandate is going to amount to much because you already see a whole bunch of posters presenting hypotheticals to get around it. It sure seems like requiring this for air travel would be way more effective. You want to take your summer vacation to cooler climate? Get the shot or drive your ass there.

    Also, I will fully admit I made the old man decision of going to bed instead of watching the 2nd half. Was shocked when I woke up and saw what happened. To me, it still doesn't excuse what might have been one of the worst first half performances from the USMNT that I've ever watched, and I've seen some howlers. I still think there are serious concerns going forward with this coach.

    I was just thinking about that front 4 and totally love it, which means we'll probably never see it. Those 3 behind Pepi can interchange so easily, but having so much focus on Puli in the center will open up so much for Reyna and Aaronson. It would be a nightmare to defend.

    Remember, Gerg has no plan B. He’s going to run this same damn lineup out the 2nd half.

    We are falling apart at the seams. This is going to get ugly.

    If we are gassed and Gerg doesn't get the subs up immediately, I might not have a functioning TV tomorrow.
  16. Did you read his original post? He's talking about the UK.
  17. My point is that approaching record cases doesn't matter as much as hospitalizations at this point. Their healthcare system isn't being overran. We are roughly 3x the number of hospitalized per million.
  18. The UK's hospitalizations are not even close to following cases so it really doesn't matter that much. They are still way below the winter peak. This is the way it should have been here.
  19. I have thought this from the start. Best I can tell from a quick Google search is there are 15% of Americans hesitant about the vaccine. Even if you could get half of them over the line, that would have made a big ass difference.

    Berhalter has absolutely nothing when it comes to in-game adjustments. It was that way even when we won this summer and it’s why this team struggles to score from the run of play.

    I’m calling it now. Honduras is going to beat us. It is tough as shit to win there and they gave us all we could handle in the nations cup.
