    Johnny has looked pretty good. I give him a pass on the play where Scally knocked him away from the headed challenge before the second goal. Pulisic & Gio have looked fine, but basically the team looks like it should be losing 2-0. (And we just nearly gave up #3.)

    Except for when he passed it straight to a Colombian who then spazzed and kicked it right back to us, Ream is usually a steadying influence.

    It was a good move by Scally to knock Johnny away from the header challenge so that the Colombian could get the ball to a teammate for the bicycle kick goal.

    Antonee Robinson showing his defensive third defending prowess. 🙄 He has speed going forward, but he is scary in the defensive third (or really “defensive first quarter”) and he is a crapshoot when it comes to the final offensive quarter. EDIT; Jedi has actually had two good crosses so far. Perhaps his offense is as steady as his defending is nerve-wracking!
  5. Well, it’s the summer. Why would people waste their time on their computer when they could be out doing things? I have been watching the Mavericks & Stars on their playoff runs, just watched French Open Women’s Final, and am getting ready to waste my TV time on soccer. Also, OTF is a believable source of information of recruiting information. When you have an information source that you can trust, there is less discussion instigated. Add to that the fact that we now trust the coaches for the most part. Accurate Info + Trust In Coaches + Summer Activities & Distractions = LESS CHATTER 🤷‍♂️

    England… 😂
  7. JASMINE DRAWS FIRST BLOOD!!! 🎾🩸 Iga S. 🇵🇱 1 Jasmine 2 <
  8. It has already become obvious that Paolini’s backhand will be her downfall. She can hang on the forehand side, but her backhand just sets Iga up to control the court. That said, Iga seems to be nervous because she is spraying points wide here at the end of the 2nd game and start of the 3rd.
  9. Maybe because my phone didn’t like Brenham, you thought that I meant “Bryan”. Brenham is kind of okay. They have those breakfast/lunch & coffee shop places run by lesbians that offer tasty options just a block or two away from interesting murals.
  10. Why wouldn’t you have stayed in Brennan and commuted? College Station = 🤮
  11. Maybe he’ll be at the UT v Michigan game in September in Ann Arbor.
  12. It’s not like a ton of aggies will be at the game. It will be Mexicans from the greater Houston, San Antonio, Austin, East Texas areas converging on the “Paris on the Brazos” that is College Station.
  13. I normally don’t dock points for whiny bitch statements, but when they come from people with fewer than 1,000 good guy points, I feel it’s my duty. Post less, or find a new message board.

    Because Czechia 🇨🇿 is the official English name for the country now. Same with Türkiye 🇹🇷 Spain 🇪🇸 is the official name of the country in English, because who can pronounce “eh-SPAHN-ia”? Or tell her “It’s because World War II still means something around here!!” (That’s why we say “Germany” rather than “Deutschland” and “France” rather than “France”.)

    Does anyone who posts here have FS2? I do not have it with my DirecTV Stream, nor will I be looking to add it. I frequently forget that it still exists, so I was wondering how common it is for people to have it these days.
  16. What looked like a runaway train has turned into quite the match.
  17. Surprised how long Iga vs Coco took. Must have been a lot of longer rallies and deuce games. Usually 6-2, 6-4 is closer to 1 hr 15 minutes rather than 1 hr 37 minutes. 🤷‍♂️
  18. Doubt that Paolini can be worse than Gauff. Paolini doesn’t have much of a serve, but she also doesn’t have a wing that people hammer on every point until it breaks down. Gauff is a complete fraud against steady quality, yet she may move to #2 in the world after this tournament because she advanced farther than Sabalenka. (Not sure what the specifics are. Would expect Paulini to beat Coco at this point in their careers.
  19. At the end of college, I worked for a friend’s family business, which was a small furniture store chain. They sold new, cheap, low-end furniture, so when you mentioned “curios”, it took me back.
  20. The Tennis Podcast peeps said that Sabalenka was definitely ill. Took pills (“tablets” is the preferred tennis term) 2 different times during the match. Had no legs. Andreeva got 39% of 1st serve in during the 1st set and still won. Supposedly it was somewhat painful to watch. And the play level wasn’t that great. They also mentioned that Rybakina has a history of poor sleep and sometimes can’t sleep for two days at a time when playing two week tournaments. They mentioned that she looked tired on the court and really looked like shit in her press conference afterwards. I’m watching the Paolini vs Rybakina replay right now. It is really difficult to root against Paolini.
  21. Was that contact not “in the river”? Body part hit was NOT in the batter’s box. And she moved into the ball’s path. Fuck that!
  22. Lincoln is just like Westwood. It’s going to be like “coming home”. It has to be $$, because what the hell?
  23. Okay, one more comment because you appear to be dense. REPRESENTATION IS EVERYTHING The girls are going to gravitate towards sports where they see participants like themselves. Now, if you can’t grasp that, perhaps there’s no hope for you.
