    USMNT 2024

    Haji Wright is our standard! 👏👏 🥳
  2. Did it occur to you that you may not have the authorization to change thread titles?
  3. I will take Lucho Acosta on FC Cincinnati.
  4. Didn’t watch it, but Yulia Putintseva beat Coco Gauff in 3 sets. I’m shocked that a smart player was able to break down Coco’s forehand (guess) in 3 sets. Iga almost choked away yesterday’s match. Those two are mental egg shells with comical forehands. It is entertaining to watch them fall apart.
  5. If only there was a way for people to gather via video conference call to have a meeting today. Someday that technology could exist. (What year was Star Trek set in?)
  6. Assistant coach Lowe & Germany 🇩🇪 managed a 3rd place run at home when Argentina couldn’t use a 3rd substitution on Messi due to a GK injury and Germany beat ARG in a shootout because the German keeper had a tendencies cheat sheet that he looked at before each kick. Germany finished 2nd in 2002 and then Germany’s next two World Cups after Klinsmann saw them finishing 3rd in South Africa 2010 and 1st in Brazil 2014 under Lowe, so Klinsmann barely leading Der Mannschaft to 3rd at home was 🤷‍♂️. 1: Bruce Part 1 (1.0) 5: Sampson 6: Gregg B 7: Bruce Part 2 (2.0)
  7. Is the only one that you could argue was better than Bruce? …or Pochettino?
  8. In keeping with this being the most “Out Of This World” Olympiad ever, why wouldn’t a bronze blinged out neck-clock be the last medal awarded?… …by a Hype Master? Sounds like the perfect cherry on top!
  9. I am still waiting for it to be officially announced before I believe it, pero el pibe es in maestro! Gracias San Timo! Gracias por tu tarjeta roja! 🙏❤️🙏 It’s about time we stopped fucking around with MLS Americans (if this is true) and went out and got a real fucking manager from one of the best manager producing countries in the world!! Vamos Argentina Carajo!! 🇦🇷 PS- Argentines (and Colombians, Peruvians, Chilenos, los Uruguayos…) will tell you that they are “Americans” too, so if that’s what helps US Soccer sleep at night, then bueno! PPS- This had better not be a false alarm.
  10. Navarro lost to someone last week (Anisimova?) who was ranked well below her ranking. Don’t know if she’s hitting a skid or if power hitters on hard courts are her Kryptonite.
  11. Hmmm, it’s not the shape that I am missing, but I’ll keep an eye out It’s definitely the danish of marzipan, frosting, and toasted sliced almonds that I’m missing. I think that I learned the word “marzipan” in the early 2000s from eating desserts in the IKEA café in Burbank, CA. Then soon after, I realized what Stein’s bear claws had in the middle. Pam would be a big bundle of fun, but you’d always have to watch your back… …side.
  12. QUESTION: Where can you find “Bear Claws” - danish pastry with marzipan inside & white frosting and roasted almond slices on top - in this day & age? The local Jewish bakery* had them when I was a kid, but they haven’t sold them for decades. Is there a bakery in Bryan/College Station that makes bear claws? (I may return to that shit hole once again after all.) *STEIN’S BAKERY in “North Dallas”/“Preston Hollow”
  13. Amanda had some foot 🦶 issue in the final, probably a blister. She picked up at least 500 points last week and that was more than she was planning to get last week and this week combined. Just looked her up and she’s ranked 49th as of Monday. She can definitely afford to skip this week. Don’t care for Bianca as a tennis player. Can’t think of a bigger drama queen outside of Serena.
  14. If anyone feels like they should get out and run, you might want to follow her… https://youtube.com/@adelinadaraban?feature=shared
  15. 2023/24 Season? Wrapping it up…
  16. Did I see this here? or elsewhere?
  17. Nope. The only Jesse Owens thing to come close to the hulking, loquacious entertainer and civil rights activist reduced to a trembling shell of the man he once was, would be a hologram of the story of Jesse Owens’ childhood of discrimination and then overcoming that to win four golds in front of Adolph Hitler, only to return to the U.S. where once again he experienced discrimination as he stayed home while all of the white Olympic medalists were invited to the White House to be photographed with the president. And then videos of discrimination today. And that isn’t going to happen.
  18. And if you have read “The Grapes of Wrath”, then you know that an important part of California’s history goes back to central Oklahoma. That is why the white water 🛶 events and the softball 🥎 events will be held in one of America’s meth capitals. It will be IMPOSSIBLE to top Ali. Even if Mark Spitz (from California) and (Bruce) Caitlyn Jenner go prancing up the steps to light the flame, holding the torch together, it was have 10% of the impact that Ali had. My mom grew up in a Lafayette county, but not in your state.
  19. I always thought that Chris Beard’s face, and nose especially, told the story of a raging alcoholic… Likely with an affinity for ingesting stimulants any way he could get them.
  20. Are Gabby’s golds only counted for Harvard?
  21. Copper is a great player with shit for brains for situational awareness. Did she rape you in your high school locker room? Why would you harbor such an attitude against someone who didn’t even get into the game? Our players… 🙄 I’m thinking that Caitlin Clark might have had a different answer. And can we stop holding up someone who broke the law in a country run by a dictator as a martyr? Especially one with a history of domestic violence?
  22. Goodbye Young! What a fucking trash player.
  23. Serious USA v Soviet Union 1972 vibes.
