2025 Gold Cup / Copa de Oro
The shit tournament needs its own thread, even if it’s just for estimates of how many dozens of fans are at each match. USMNT 🇺🇸 beat the crap out of Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹 5-0 and T&T was such trash that even Max Arfsten looked like a solid player who was dangerous in the final third. And we know that Arfsten is pure trash against solid opponents. Also, the stadium was about half full at most. México 🇲🇽 started off the tournament beating the baseball loving half of the island of Hispanola (a.k.a. “La República Dominicana”) 🇩🇴 3-2, I believe, in a half empty SoFi stadium. The last game to mention (because I forgot the other one) was Costa Rica’s 🇨🇷 death knell escape of Suriname 🇸🇷 (which is the Dutch answer to Jamaica 🇯🇲 in CONCACAF) with a PK before the final whistle. This match was played in San Diego in front of dozens, if not hundreds of people. The numbers for the match will not be reported honestly, but I would estimate fewer that 2,000 people were in the stands. They could have used on person to sell concessions in the aisles for the entire stadium. This event should be a U-20 event played in 2-3 stadiums in one town. It wouldn’t matter if they were high school stadiums. Either that, or it is time to take this tournament out of the USA. Seth Meyers would have this to say about the Gold Cup, if he knew that it existed. So now we have a thread to discuss the most worthless international tournament in world ⚽️. And don’t forget to estimate attendance for the matches you choose to mock. Keylor Navas wins award for worst hairdo in CONCACAF.

Explain what you mean by “ride”, because I think that I would prefer Kostyuk, depending on your definition.

Saudi Arabia scored 2 goals on a 0.15xG. 3 total shots and none should have had any prayer of going in. 2 goals on miracle shots. That said, Scaloni made changes after that loss that helped propel them to the 🏆.

Was it COVID seating rules? Or was ICE set up all around the stadium? Puliaic was right to skip this shit. T&T thought that they were playing rugby. No reason for any play of any level of talent to play in this shit tournament.

2025 ATP/WTA thread
Raducanu was up a break in the second set at 4-2, but the nerves got to her when she was serving at 4-3. She completely lost her first serve and then double faulted on game point to send it to 4-4. Then the China woman held serve easily and Raducanu started her serve going down 0-40. She then said “fuck it!” and played well again to bring it to deuce… then she got in her head again and lost two straight points and the match. She had the game to beat the China woman, but she needs to find a way to get out of her head. There wasn’t an ailment, nothing pulled or twisted. She just started thinking about it too much. If she can channel some zen shit, she could be a seeded player at the U.S. Open. 🇺🇸 Emma just can’t handle Anisimova’s game. She’s never beaten the American-born Russian. Emma didn’t play poorly, she just played someone who she can’t handle, especially not on grass. The Romanian Canadian fatty just isn’t very good at tennis.

I can watch this, because I don’t care what they say… But the Scuffed Podcast mentioned that Pulisic said that he wanted to come in for the friendlies, but take a break during the Gold Cup, but Pochettino said “No.” Either all summer of nada. Much better that the good players get some rest… in my opinion.

👆 Just like the Olympics. NBC showed the Olympics on NBC, USA Network, The Golf Channel, CNBC… maybe one or two more. I don’t have a Paramount Plus subscription, but I inhaled more Olympics last year from Paris than any doctor would ever recommend. And at no additional charge.- 2025 ATP/WTA thread
I’m pulling for Raducanu in the next round. One, I find 🇬🇧 Emma attractive, butt… Two, she is developing into a solid tennis player. She’s ranked 37th in the world now and has a very good grass game.- Texas Softball 2025 - Second to no one.
Yet another post… …with the sophomoric responses hidden from polluting this constructive thread. Just a bit from the peanut gallery. 🥜🥜🥜- Professional Softball: What’s with the black pants?
Peanut gallery wants white pants, I think. I am just thinking of the rating & sustainability of the sport.- USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish

Ecuador is #2, behind Argentina, in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying right now, but no one without Latin American ties could name a single person on that team. Normally Ecuadorean fans would fill the stadium, but with Herr Stephen Miller in charge of ethnic cleansing, I don’t see those fans attending fútbol matches anytime soon.- Texas A&M Recruiting 2026: The World's Drunkest Elk

What is the actual definition of “par”? And how is it actually calculated? I ask, because if the best players in the world cannot achieve “par” scores, then perhaps “par” is not being calculated correctly.- USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
1) I don’t care much for the team at the moment. 2) I would like to see the list of friendlies played by Berhalter. I much rather lose to Türkiye 🇹🇷 & Switzerland 🇨🇭 than destroy Grenada 🇬🇩 & Bermuda 🇧🇲. I’m just glad that Argentina 🇦🇷 tied it up late in the qualifier vs Colombia 🇨🇴.- Texas Mount Rushmore

How do you feel about Johnny Football Cardoso? Isn’t it ironic? Deep Thought: If we win the Gold Cup, we will really highlight how fucking worthless that tournament is.- USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish
Tolkin has been watch entirely too much “Soccer Made In Germany” videos from the late 1970s and has sought out a German barber to take him back to that time. PS- As bad as his hair is, Tolkin is light years better than Arfsten.- USMNT 2025 - Easy English, hard ones Spanish

LB Afsten is who we thought he was.- Professional Softball: What’s with the black pants?
ESPN2 has “Athletes Unlimited Softball League” on right now. Some team (not a college that I know) vs another team (that is not a college that I have a decades’ long opinion of). Here’s the kicker- BOTH teams are wearing black pants. I only pull for teams that wear WHITE pants. 🤷♂️ This is not going to become part of my summer sports rotation. Now if the softball league backed by MLB knows what is good for their league, on if the teams will ALWAYS be wearing white pants. - 2025 US Open @ Oakmont
