    USMNT 2021

    Pulisic getting fouled at Messi levels in the CL
  2. An American field player has been the best player on the pitch in a CL SF.
  3. And don't forget about the Asians who are even more underrepresented in incidents of police violence! That said, we will need them to have a shit ton more interactions with police to get their numbers where they need to be.
  4. RBL becomes a threat with the best defense in Europe so Bayer hires their manager and signs their elite CB.
  5. The Glazers have taken $1.3 billion out of United through loans and distributions. UEFA will need to be very careful in punishing the Super 12 or the entire economic model could collapse. The transfer system is financed by the transfer fees paid by the Super 12 which literally trickle down through the rest of the pyramid all the way to the MLS (Chelsea buys Havertz from Leverkusen who buy Schick from Roma who buy Reynolds from FC Dallas).
  6. BT is the L every time he ventures out from his echo chamber
  7. Do you have to edit every 20 word post you make? Comma is unnecessary BTW.
  8. Agreed. I seriously doubt LeCunt was unaware that the shooting was justified when he tweeted.
  9. Come on LBJ. Surely you can make this more about you.
  10. It is disturbing that no segment of our society beyond those directly impacted would have batted an eye at the situation if CPD had arrived 5 minutes later merely to discover the girl in pink alone on the street and stabbed to death. No media reports, no White House statements, no social media posts, no outraged responses to inaccurate media reports and posts. Just another anonymous dead black victim of violence that is currently exploding throughout the country. You seem obsessed with aggy
  11. Ricky is my favorite Horn of all-time. Love VY but Ricky is just so much more interesting to me. His instagram page is great. Meanwhile, few Longhorns have fallen further in my estimation since leaving Texas than Applewhite. Douche
  12. Exactly, particularly as someone with a business in Columbus with a building that rioters tried to burn down while our IT staff was inside.
  13. And that is depressing and dangerous, not laughable. No one is acting like this is the first time this has occurred. It is expected.
  14. I don't think the fact that elements of the media are actively distorting reality to suggest that police shot an unarmed black 15 year old girl in the immediate wake of the Chauvin verdict is laughable at all.
  15. And they are circling the wagons now more than ever. Avoiding situations that lead to police shootings is a relatively immature "solution" instead of addressing the underlying issues but it probably will lead to less police shootings. Police are increasingly defining their role as investigatory instead of preventative in high crime areas.
  16. There is at least anecdotal evidence that police departments (including the Columbus PD) have significantly decreased patrols in black neighborhoods and that response times to reports of violent crimes in those neighborhoods have increased significantly. In Columbus, there has been talk of police basically abandoning Linden (the poorest black neighborhood in the city). There has been significant attention given to the "post-pandemic" violence but the murder rate was already up almost 40% in 2020. In Columbus, black male homicide victims increased from 58 in 2019 to 84 in 2020, a 50% increase, and half of those murders didn't result in any arrest. Murder without consequences yields more murder.
  17. BBC says all English teams are out.
  18. United fans tried to burn Ed Woodward's house down and led years long LUHG/Green and Gold campaigns to no avail. Liverpool is also in the midst of its most successful run since the 80s.
  19. Germany went from a not-for-profit model in which all clubs were owned by members associations to a 50+1 model that permitted limited private investment and ownership. England would be going the exact opposite direction from entirely private ownership to a 50.1% "fan" ownership. The Big 6 alone are collectively valued in excess of $20 billion. The economic and legal implications of simultaneously requiring divestment of more than 50% ownership of all English clubs would be unworkable and in the long run Man United and Liverpool would be the greatest beneficiaries given that future spending would primarily depend on legitimate operating income.
  20. Neville is a grandstanding cunt. Never said a word about the multitude of events that gave rise to the current situation but is now "courageously" railing against the resulting situation in a transparent effort to burnish his personal brand. Very 2020s. Klopp's dissection of Neville is a bit more subtle and biting than the media has recognized imo.
  21. Kill the indefensible and irrelevant Nations League and Club World Cup and place control of the CL and the distribution of its proceeds in the hands of the Big 5 leagues (not just a cadre of the super clubs) instead of UEFA bureaucrats. UEFA and FIFA should manage their own legitimate international competitions (Euros and WC) but their oversight and control over club football should be greatly diminished. Additional layers of bureaucratic middlemen increase inefficiency, waste and corruption, but that is the European way.
