  1. 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.
  2. I watched the whole game… In SPANISH*! *when the sound was not muted. I am not very aggy.

    USMNT 2024

    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.
  4. 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.
  5. Then I went to this thing when I was about 8 or 9 which my dad. Thanks for the lesson. I appreciate it.
  6. 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
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  10. Mexico scored…
  11. 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
  12. Goooooolllll!!!! Mutha Fuckas!!
  13. 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!

    Wrong thread. Brazil 🇧🇷 v 🇲🇽 Mexico
  15. I want a curbstomp with Brazil doing the stomping.
  16. Cheap seats were still available a minute ago.

    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!

    And just this week younger USMNT “stans” were laughing that anyone would consider the 2002 USMNT better than the 2024 squad. Who’s laughing now, dumbasses? 😂

    Well, #20 for the assist on the 4th goal. Maybe that’s as close as he will come. EDIT: And the 5th goal. 😂

    It’s like playing The Netherlands all over again.

    Prediction: Colombia’s #20 is getting a goal today.

    James Rodriguez has aged about 4 years since 2014. PS- Berhalter is a worthless piece of shit.

    That’s mainly because he sucks. His not playing for his club has not improved his ball handling, nor has it sharpened his goal tending skills. But he just made a good save there. So perhaps I have spoken too soon.
