That was an unfortunate miss off the left post.

France turned up the heat on us in the last 10ish minutes. Up until then, it was pretty even with a couple of nice chances for the US. Aaronson looks to be our best player in the attack.

Is it true that JD Vance injected his hillbilly Santorum between the cushions of his wife's new couch? Disgusting, but fair, if true.

There goes Old Freak Nasty getting all lathered up about hiring more women again.

Bukari already doing dangerous things.

Pareira is having a hell of a game.

So that was a punch in the face? Looked more like he was getting his arm in to break it up. Either way, this team can't be worse without him.

Driussi looks like he is point shaving tonight.

Very true, but the sound of fans' heads exploding would be deafening.

Bro haven't you heard? USMNT is hiring Southgate and Berhalter is taking over Austin FC when we #WolffOAT, enshittification complete.

Not a strong showing, but the Sounder keeper had two ridiculous left hand saves to keep headers from Driussi and Fodrey out. Hines Ike got beat twice by Morris and got two yellows to show for it. Pareira didn't look ready for action after the Copa break. Sucks to give away 3 at home to a team we are trying to pass on the playoff hunt.

Fantastic finish by Zardes, Wolff deserves a ton of credit for creating that. Finally looks like we're cooking a bit up front.

Oh look the game finally started. Oh look we gave up and easy goal in the 5th minute. Oh look I have better things to do than watch this team.

I thought the agreed upon term around here was Vancouver with no Internet.

Undecided voters and youth especially have been clamoring for any candidate to vote for that isn't 100 years old, and that was before Biden went full hospice patient at the debate. I feel like the Dems are the FBI agents in Die Hard right now, and they are about to follow the playbook to their spectacular demise simply because it worked last time.

Wtf, how did Canada only score 1 goal in group play again? They are creating a ton of excellent chances. Venezuela's backline is a bit chaotic.

So this is going to be one of those road games...

Completely nonsensical no-call on that handball. Like, holy shit.

Ok, I'll bite. What show and where?

They're going to need a shit load of Barkeeper's Friend.

If things had gone just a bit differently, Veronica might have gotten to do the flaming ball throw and would have been in the final 4. The star donation system certainly was influential in the end, jeez. Steve runs the fuck away with this thing if he doesn't fuck up so bad with his two stars.

While we are on the topic, I had some lobster thing at Uchiko once that I would probably call "medium rare", maybe "rare plus", and it was not a good texture at all. I'm not that crazy about lobster in general though. It probably would have been better with a few kerosene flare-ups.

To the couple of guys who are white knighting this season, what show did you just watch? Yeah, there are a couple of goons who complain about Top Chef being terrible every season like they complain about every show they continue to consume despite not knowing how to enjoy things, but most of us still find the show entertaining and appreciate it for what it is and has been for the last few years. It lost its fastball long ago, but it scratches an itch. I do occasionally call it out for challenges that are not very fun to watch or produce shitty results. I like Kristen, and I might love her. I think she's going to be a fucking star. Tom seems pretty bored but still carries the judging, Gail is doing a lot of heavy lifting as well (hey-O). Danny and Rasika appeared to be the real talent this year, and both made massive fucking errors. Danny was lucky not to be at the bottom simply due to there being so many atrocious dishes throughout the season. Like, holy shit, there was a lot of bad food. I'm not going back to other seasons to compare because I don't really care to be right about this or anything, but it was exceptionally bottom-heavy imo. I rarely was like "Damn these are some amazing looking dishes", and usually I was like "wtf are they doing?". I think the producers approached this season with a new host as an opportunity to throw some new ideas out there and see what happened. A lot of them were really crappy ideas and the problem was that the chefs weren't good enough to make anything exciting within the parameters of the challenges. That's it, that's why I have been negative about this season. The show was entertaining enough most episodes, but this is not a good enough version of this show to keep me interested if it doesn't recover.

Jeez, nice goal but that should be a card in the Canadian keeper.

This is a fun game. Canada should have nabbed one on that point blank header.
