    HT Thoughts 1. Berhalter should be fired immediately after the game. Completely exposed with his formation and defensive selections. 2. McKenzie had one of the worst 1Hs I have ever seen. He has a looooong way to go at this level. 3. Sargent is not good enough. Late runs and weak on the dribble. We aren't doing shit with him as our 9. 4. Mexico isn't going to let Puli beat them. 5. Steffen needs to leave Man City this summer. He needs games badly

    All of the quality is extremely young and inexperienced, particularly in playing against the cheating Mexican/central American style. Half of the Honduran team would have picked up two yellows if the game was officiated by Euro officials. It's very difficult to adjust to a style of play that is not permitted where you play. It's like going from the NBA to a game on the yard at San Quentin. The US federation needs to stop being such pussies and start threatening to suspend all CONCACAF competitions in the US unless significant improvements are made to officiating.
  4. No Haaland. Group C is what unnecessary tournament expansion yields
  5. So you clearly root for City in the Manchester Derby then
  6. Derka's posts didn't leave much room for interpretation
  7. Let's also remember that aside from the Leicester miracle, the only thing separating the EPL from the complete hegemony of oil is generational managerial genius at giant clubs (Ferguson and Klopp).
  8. With the notable exceptions of Leicester's title and Klopp's reign at Liverpool, English football hasn't been nearly as compelling since Arsenal left Highbury. Some would say it was headed towards the shitter upon the formation of the EPL or when Abramovich bought Chelsea (both arguments have their merits) but the opening of the Emirates is the dividing line for me even though I didn't realize it at the time. The United commercialization machine dramatically ramped up contemporaneously and was soon followed by the ultimate sportswashing enabled though Man City's Plastic Dynasty. Leicester's title and Liverpool's hiring of Klopp saved the EPL from itself but will ultimately prove to be temporary salves. Without Klopp and Leicester, the history of English football over the last decade is merely trophies filled with oil and the degradation of the giants of English football by vulture American capitalists.
  9. United certainly has some strong attacking options on the bench if Ole wants to bring some players on (Pogba, Cavani, Rashford, Fernandes).
  10. The only solution was for West Brom to agree to move their game against Liverpool on Sunday which they refused to do.
  11. United's front three against Leicester are 19, 19 and 18.
  12. As stated above, it's not speculation. People know what happened. Are you a moderator?
  13. Obviously has the legendary He's Gone from Europe '72 but also many other highlights including the spacy TOO. This site has great reviews of every Europe 72 show. http://bozosandbolos.blogspot.com
  14. An awful depiction of Morrison? Agree on Vicious and that is probably Cash as well. Or Leonard Cohen
  15. Just the Asperger's kicking in
  16. Lampard was awful but even he couldn't fuck up their joke of a group. Tuchel immediately tightened up the defense and Kante started playing like the best DM in the world again. It's an extremely strange season with COVID + the aging of Ronaldo/Messi. It's no surprise that their decline will coincide with the entry into the era of oil money domination. Thank god UEFA "saved football". lol

    Tuchel is certainly pushing the right buttons but Puli needs to leave Chelsea after next season if he isn't a regular starter and it sounds like he is leaning that way.
  18. Munn is a Sooner and on the wrong side of 40. I understand the logic for someone with $100 million
  19. Athens is the right answer for Ohio. Agree with Lawrence over Manhattan and Iowa City over Ames. Clemson should also be the choice for SC over Columbia and Stillwater over Norman for OK. Those are the only glaring errors. NC is a tough one due to the growth of the Triangle but I would probably still go Chapel Hill.
  20. Disagree. Spurs would probably hire him today
  21. Bottlecap and Hate should trade usernames
  22. First team to score 6 in one leg of a European semifinal since Madrid in 1964
  23. USMNT manager is a significant step back for a manager of a top European club. If he succeeds at RBL, his next job should be a big EPL team.
