    I’m not sure that this is going to help TRULY, Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams, and/or US Soccer.

    I’m likely to be going for Spanish citizenship at some point in the coming years so I can’t be too critical, but what a shitball. Mbappe will be wearing a Gvardiol mask by next game. PS- At least the Spanish ref understood that Mbappe should receive a yellow. PPS- Mbappe’s broken nose could change everything in this tournament. The swelling could affect his breathing, his vision, and his willingness to “get stuck in”.

    I think that Mbappe’a nose moved a centimeter or two to his left.

    That yellow card had better be rescinded upon appeal. This ref sucks.

    Next level cockiness.

    Young Dempsey would say “Nice move.”

    Similar kit to the Mets except that they have a massive Winnie-The-Pooh inspired yellow Coq over their hearts.

    Romanians in yellow? WTF? Everyone knows that Ukraine is yellow.
  9. Dallas fired their manager and actually scored in their first game since ridding themselves of Berhalter’s former assistant coach. Scored TWICE actually. Don’t think that they have won by two goals all season.
  10. Had a Jon Mills as a classmate for a few years, but he was a short, slight, hairy kid in middle school, so doubtful that we would recruit any of his offspring. UCLA’s NIL money goes to basketball. They have been buying players since the John Wooden days. You can ask Duke or Kansas and they will tell you that it is much easier to buy 6 to 10 basketball players than 55 to 85 football players. I don’t care how serious DeShaun Foster is about recruiting, if their BMDs don’t want to pony up enough money to cover a football team on top of the basketball team, they are going to continue to get out-recruited.

    But the two shit-for-brains do discuss tactics and are friends. Bellingham is awesome, but I doubt that the squad can overcome Southgate. If England had Argentina’s manager, they would be co-favorites with France. Maybe even have the shortest odds. They are really loaded these days, but Southgate suuuuuucks.

    That Dutch keeper earned his W today. He had plenty of good saves. Jules Breach is attractive, but she sounds like she thinks she’s in a production of “Oliver Twist”. I think that Peter Schmeichel speaks the cleanest English on this set.

    The USMNT has these super subs as well, we just are nicer to our opponents and don’t use them.

    I’m liking Chiellini giving us insights into defensive strategy and the dark arts of a good forearm shiver. His English isn’t great, but it’s mostly good enough and it will continue to get better. Separated at birth?

    I was thinking (just before that goal) that the Dutch xG had to be close to 1.0 and the Polish xG was likely less than 0.20.

    And ESPN.com said that the match started at 8:30am CDT, but it started at 8am. Et tu Mickey!

    You know who is serious about coverage? The Dutch. They are seriously covering the entire street. Kickoff is officially less than an hour away.
  18. I fucking love it when a high school kid is trying to decide between Cal (Berkeley) and the University of Houston!

    No wonder Pulisic was able to have such a good season. McKennie too.
