    Looks like standard Aztecs absorb pressure and counter with the two 6s
  2. Casual college hoops fans (me included) forgot how awful the college officiating is once the tournament is over.

    USMNT 2022

    I have no idea what we are going to run out there tonight. This is arguably our last chance to win a meaningful WCQ in Azteca due to WC expansion so I would love to see us go for it. Knowing ggg I expect him to half ass it and he won't play a weak team or play his best team and instead will play some ineffectual mixture that doesn't achieve rest for Panama or a result in Azteca. We need to go full B or full A. I would go with the following: GK: Steffen or Horvath (I have no idea whether Steffen is 75% or 100%) RB: Yedlin CBs: Robinson and Zimmerman (many are expecting Long to replace Robinson) LB: Robinson 6: Adams (Obviously a big risk, but I want to go for it in Azteca. No McKennie or Adams is an L imo) 8s: Musah; DLT (bring in Gio if the game is in the balance in 2H) LW: Pulisic 9: Ferreira (I don't love this pick but he should have some confidence and I agree that Pefok is a more interesting option off the bench in this fixture.) RW: Weah I expect that ggg will go with the same back-4 but will start Long in place of Robinson. I'm expecting a MF of Acosta, Musah and DLT and a front 3 of Morris, Pepi and Weah.
  4. Day is a shockingly normal and down to earth guy given his position. His kids are assholes though. Urban is just a condescending dickhead who was in the perfect place at the perfect time at both Florida and Ohio State.

    Which is why MLS has playoffs. MLS simply couldn't sustain the interest of the fanbase under a Euro model.

    They added Bello.
  7. Stenson named as the next Ryder Cup captain for the euros. Stenson v. Zach Johnson, a battle for the ages

    Yes. EPL is the worst.

    The FA ruined the EPL. They never should have allowed sales to foreign ownership. EPL teams are now almost universally owned by a laughable collection of the biggest cunts in the world.

    Completely disagree. No one was giving Liverpool supporters the benefit of the doubt after Heysel and its fallout (the removal of English football from European competition for basically a decade). Frame by frame analysis of Hillsborough also wasn't really available in 1989. Heysel enabled both the coverup and the hostile media coverage.

    Your self-righteousness falls a little flat when you post a laundry list of Liverpool's indiscretions without mentioning Heysel. No question. That said, you can understand how people jumped to conclusions at the time given the coverage of Hillsborough by the tabloids and the fact that Liverpool supporters murdered 39 people in stadium during the European Cup Final four years earlier.
  12. It was woke casting ("Uhhhhh . . . my checklist is still missing fat and Asian") but it didn't work primarily because of the shockingly bad writing. She is also a mediocre actress. Not in the same universe as the guy who played Finn, but still shit. No one with a brain complained about the diversity in Rogue One (female lead, Latino co-lead, Asian, Black, Arab actors in the other key roles) because the writing was quality, the acting was great and most fans comprehend that the universal environment of Star Wars should be diverse. The sequel trilogy put its diverse and overmatched cast in a position to fail and they did so, miserably in most cases. If the writing and acting is good in Kenobi, it will be treated like Rogue One. If if sucks, it will be treated like the sequels.
  13. Holy shit. Cam with the awful duck off the 16th tee. Awful
  14. that involve water
  15. Cam going to win unless he finds water
  16. Jesus. DJ with the 63. Course record
  17. Huge shots coming up for Smith (in pine straw on 15) and Bradley (17 tee shot).
  18. Strange leaderboard which seems to happen from time to time at the Players. Two guys outside of the Top 250 in Lahiri (322) and Ghim (252) and arguably the most unheralded players in the top 10 (Cameron Smith), Top 20 (Sam Burns) and Top 40 (Tom Hoge) in the world rankings, plus Paul Casey and a guy I've never heard of (2019 Sanderson Farms Championship winner Sebastian Munoz). Someone is getting the biggest win of their career today.
  19. I thought it was an effort to avoid going to jail (i.e., sending this asshole to jail for such a brief period of time is more trouble than it is worth).

    Weston is out. Reyna is probably out. Turner and Steffen are both up in the air. We don't have a 9. Grreggg is the man responsible for addressing these issues. We could easily finish 5th.

  22. Should be required to actually eat Subway
  23. Surly now going facebook

  25. Well that settles it. We will never hear Westbrick uttered again in an NBA arena. Westbric ... Westbrook has effectively nipped that in a bud.
