  1. War-torn countries without working clocks. I don’t believe that Argentina has any working air force planes. Most of the military is trained to prevent a coup. (Or to support one, depending on who is in power.)
  2. Argentina is the new Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United! ❤️🇦🇷
  3. I’m sure that the flow of Spain’s game was a joy to behold. 53 Fouls !! Are you kidding me?!?!
  4. Something you don’t see everyday.
  5. The teams under Javier Mascherano 🇦🇷 have sucked ass for about 2-3 years. I don’t know if Mascherano sucks as a manager, they are having a lull in top talent, they have good players who can’t get released by their clubs, or something else. Also, African teams frequently crush it at the Olympics. The US boys might no be the front runners for 2nd in the group that they’re being made out to be. If the 🇺🇸 boys don’t make it out of the group, it’s like they were never a part of the Olympics, just some rando tournament on France’s Mediterranean coast. They start before the Olympics, they play twice in Marseilles and once in Nice, they miss the opening ceremonies, their 2nd & 3rd games will be in empty stadiums, they never get to stay in the Olympic Village, and then as soon as it’s over, they have to prep to go back to their teams. If they go to Paris after being eliminated, they will just be tourists, they won’t be Olympic athletes. Kind of a shitty way to participate in the Olympics.

    Anyone following the U-20 game? I can’t find the score anywhere and I don’t have FS1 or TUDN.

    Ben Olson was on his way until his ankle got destroyed while on loan to Nottingham Forest. He was basically “Claudio Reyna: Take 2”, but his ankle & ligaments and what have you got blown up in a game and then he went from being a skilled attacking midfielder to DM who made up for his diminutive size with heart and excessive physicality.

  13. Great to see GOD continue to bust his ass out on the recruiting trail! ✊
  14. A friend since middle school is South Asian (Indian), but born in England and raised in the USA. He has been in an arranged marriage with a woman from India for well over 20 years, he’s an M.D. and his wife has an MBA. Asked him about Nikki Haley a few years ago and he said that ethnic background meant nothing to them. For them it was all about policies and record. He is the father of two daughters (no boys) and is probably a middle of the road/moderate-to-left learning person. So for him, Kamala’s record on various issues will likely be more important than her simply being Indian/South Asian. SAMPLE SIZE: 1
  15. Not a shot, save, or blunder, but this is the correct thread.
  16. Basketball 🏀/ Baseball ⚾️ No matter! The Indiana state to Austin pipeline is flowing.
  17. Diaspora Dash appears to have enormous tits!
  18. I like that the spelling of “cupboard” gives you a window to its origins. I also like having a Ffrenchie on the roster. It give me a chance to use some of the vocabulary I picked up from multiple attempts at French 1 in high school and college. Fantastique! (Who would have guessed that Napoleon would be so bad at French?)
  19. “Perfectly!!” The descriptor calls for an adverb there, you illiterate Bama247 piece of fuck. Previous generations of Greenbergs would be ashamed of you, Brett.
  20. You 💯% should have mentioned this!
  21. Diego Maradona was a Gregg Berhalter level head coach and worse than Gregg as a roster manager. He was a Top 5 all-time player, with many in their late 50s to early 70s thinking that he was the best ever. In 2010, Argentina had one of the top scorers, if not the top scorer in the EPL, Serie A, and La Liga, they had the captain of the Champions League winning team (Inter Milan) along with its starts DM, and its leading scorer- who had both goals in the CL Final. 1) They barely qualified for the World Cup on a goal that would have been overturned by VAR. 2) They got knocked out 4-0 by Germany in the quarters. 3) The Inter captain along with its starting DM weren’t picked for the squad, Inter’s starting striker barely played, Carlos Tevez was allowed to play like a bitch and not pass to Messi due to jealousy… beyond frustrating. You slap 2020-2024 Scaloni, a player who made the 2006 WC squad, but I don’t think he played, as the manager and they likely win the World Cup. Good Managers are problem solvers and/or ego managers. Henry & Vieira have shown to suck at this, but get repeated opportunities due to their records as players. Gregg appears to understand that you should learn from people who have been successful, but he can’t understand how to apply the information he has access to. Zidane was a deep lying playmaker who read the game as a player and would adapt when needed. He was also a generational talent with size, a violent streak, and a chip on his shoulder. My guess is that he could manage the Real Madrid locker room egos because he was always good at reading the entire situation and that he could physically destroy anyone who challenged him. Ancelotti was a good player, I think (never have seen anything about his play), but has been excellent and mediocre as a manager. Great players rarely make great managers, but they are given many more opportunities than all other managers combined.
