  1. Man, that last sequence by Morocco just makes me wonder about our coaching, across the board.

    FIRST - they took the ball directly into the box, no stupid crosses over and over and OVER.  It was a direct move.

    Next - the flow of the players, the Moroccans were  moving without the ball, they were getting themselves open of passes for the guy who had the ball. They understood what space was there and moved toward it. The guy with the ball could pass the ball into space and anticipate SOMEONE was moving toward it.

    Again, looking at who our front line and some of the MFs we have - this is the type of attack we should have. Not that garbage that Gregg was rolling out there.

    If you feel a distraction is in order to assist you in moving on France is currently battling Latvia (sp?) in a 3-3 semi final. It's riveting and might help you.

    Also, are people here pulling for Spain over Morocco?!? If so, get fucked.

    I don't really care about this tournament anymore, I wanted the US to get a medal - but we fucked that up, so whatever.

    I will say this - I would prefer non-traditional powers win, so I guess that means Morocco and Egypt.

  3. While looking through YouTube I came upon this video by Brownlee - it's almost a year old now, which means that we are almost 7 years from when we first saw the Roadster 2.0 (Nov 2017). But man it really shows what Tesla really should be doing. Make the Cybertruck - fine, do that. But they should really be making the best EV cars they can. This is a work of art and it blows away every Tesla on the market. I just don't get why they aren't working on making their production better, more efficient and modular and then cranking out cars that people really do want.

     

     

    Then again their CEO spends on time on Twitter than he does in a Tesla plant I would assume.

    Not to defend that garbage scow, but Isn’t their towing technique kinda shit?

    Once they bumped over the first tunnel and the F150 hit the wedge, they jerked both trucks and the cable/chain/strap. A lot of stuff could have gone wrong there. 

    Don’t get me wrong, we didn’t see the F150’s hitch, bumper or frame snap. Nor the strap. And the CT did. So I think we found a weak link in there. But I think with better/safer technique, this could be prevented.

    Such a good watch

     

     

    Damn, that is a good watch, I am glad I watched the whole thing. That is a great video. And I retract my statement from above.

    I will say this - it's almost like they did everything they needed to to make the best truck they could - and then they cheaped out in every way possible. Watching that video it's kind of sad, because you realize that they have the guts of a really good truck, but they don't have the body of a damn good truck. They have a truck that can be damn good, but then they have it in a body that can snap in half at any moment. It's kind of sad. You see that F150 - gets bested all over the place - but it doesn't fall apart (ok there was the axle thing). While the CT just falls apart left and right. Kind of pathetic.

    I even went back and watch bits and pieces of the Hilux episode - damn Toyota makes a beast of those.

    Phew!

    Got away with one, even if that's the correct call. That was some poor play from the US there and lucky that El Tri didn't tie it up.

    Not taking care of the first pass in caused a big problem that they couldn’t recover from.
