    McKennie will not be playing for Aston Villa in 2025/26. He will either be out on loan, or sold to an MLS team, where he will triple to quadruple his salary and his endorsements will explode. Going to Aston Villa for the money has me thinking that he’s given up on the competitive side of soccer and is grabbing the biggest paycheck he can get before coming home. Also, I would not expect him to go to FC Dallas. Playing in Frisco has too much of a “small market vibe” for him. I would expect that he try to get to one of the coasts. Maybe he moves to San Diego to help launch that team.

    Love the pregame views contrasting against the postgame stuff.

    Winning friendlies is nice, but it isn’t the most important thing, especially right before a tournament. The purpose of a friendly is to test yourself and try various things. 1) We got our asses kicked. 2) We played like shit. 3) We didn’t make any adjustments. We had an opportunity to learn things from this friendly and what we learned was: -Our team is mid to less than mid. -Our manager continues to show that he is in over his head.

    I would think that remaining down a break led Zverev to do things that ultimately broke his will. Using humans to determine whether the ball was in or out, whether the pitch was a ball or strike (baseball), whether the ball crossed the line for a first down/ touchdown (football) is just stupid. The players deserve better.

    I watched the whole game… In SPANISH*! *when the sound was not muted. I am not very aggy.

    I kept comparing Gregg Berhalter and Mack Brown in my head last night. They aren’t exactly the same, but they were both horrible tacticians and would downplay a match that should have been built up. Dislike both of them. PS- Both Timothy Weah & Matt Turner gave postgame interviews in English on the side of the field & Yunus Musah gave a longer one on the edge of the field in Spanish. I think Yunus was doing the Univision interview, but not positive because the female journalist in the video I saw sounded like her accent was from Spain. (She used “th” for the “ce”, but that could have been to help Yunus understand her more easily. 🤷‍♂️) Didn’t see Berhalter say shit.

    I thought that UCLA won the Director’s Cup in the past, but maybe it was a predecessor. I know that during the WCWS, the announcers were pimping a Capital One competition that is very similar to the Director’s Cup. Perhaps there are a couple different ones that various companies sponsor.

    Then I went to this thing when I was about 8 or 9 which my dad. Thanks for the lesson. I appreciate it.

    Have you tried these massive picks? You may be able to handle one of them. https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/7A0292F9-2CD5-45D4-9B2C-7ECF11C22554?ingress=2&visitId=c636f094-e5ab-4535-9b5b-9a58fa87a294&store_ref=bl_ast_dp_brandLogo_sto&ref_=ast_bln

    You can’t have a weak wing against Iga, especially on clay. Once Iga determined that Jasmine had a weak backhand, the match was over. That happened within the first 4 games, because by early in the 4th game, Iga was done messing around. Iga also helped Jasmine in the 2nd & 3rd games with unforced errors flying long, because she was nervous and/or calibrating her swings. I’m just glad that she didn’t get bageled either set. Also, this tournament showed how far Naomi has come on clay. She had Iga in straight sets and then Shay the bed. This wouldn’t seem strange at the US Open or the Australian Open, but on clay this was totally unexpected. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Naomi win on a hard court after the Olympics and then win the US Open or the Australian Open again, provided she doesn’t have another mental breakdown and that she keep from getting fat like she did long before she was pregnant.

    After reading this, I thought that “Comal” either was the name of the police radio scanner channel or the doctors’ communication group text/ email/ message board for a local hospital. We went to a different river when I was in school. It was known as the “Guadalupe” River, whether that was the actual name of the river or not, I have no idea. I never drove.

    1) It would take $8M to $10M per year to get either of those guys and… 2) We pay the new USWNT manager about $1.5M per year. Even if US Soccer has the money, they can’t pay the Men’s manager 5.5 to nearly 7 times as much as the Women’s manager anymore. It sucks, because the earning potential for the two teams is drastically different, but that’s the way it is these days.

    Mexico scored…

    I had forgotten this, which ‘splains-me why Brazil only scored once in the first half. That second goal fue un gol muy lindo. I wonder if Brazil has been going easy on Mexico so that they won’t offend those much treasured TV 📺 sets. Are the El Tri fans showing their support for Pride Month again by yelling “PUTOS!!”? I have the volume turned down. ALSO: Alisson is #110

    Goooooolllll!!!! Mutha Fuckas!!

    We held Colombia 🇨🇴 out of our goal until the 6th minute, but Brazil 🇧🇷 scored on Mexico in the 5th minute. Mexico is so much worse than we are!

    Morocco didn’t have their full team AND they had only been in the US about 2 days after a long travel day. Jet lag and a less-than-full roster was our friend.

    I’ve always said: “When in doubt, sign an Argentine attacking player. And if you can’t do that, sign an Argentine manager.” I will talk to people, but the stupid belief that the national team manager MUST speak English is fucking ridiculous!
