He just took an enormous shit on Berhalter and the Federation right there.

To be fair - you need the teams to allow the players to play, which can be a lot. That said we needed to bring better players. We only brought 1 guy I was Ok with (Robinson). I posted this on the USMNT thread - And this clip sounds even dumber now after today's result. Not to go CR on this, but there was no shock he was spotted in Milwaukee the week of July 15 - he see things so much as THIS or THAT instead of at the complex issues they are. Coaching, roster, scheme, etc. Not to mention the rot of the federation. If I could have had the Copa team with Olympic coaches, we might have seen something better against the South Americans.

Never stop being you Helo. We said it before - this is a U23 tournament because there is no U23 World Cup. Teams are allowed 3 exceptions to the U23 rule. We got beat because Morocco is good. The ref IMHO helped that game look much worse than it should have been, neither of these 2 PKs should have been given, certainly not the last one with the game completely out of reach, unless you needed the over to be cleared.

Doubtful. There aren't going to be a lot of spots opened up in roster turnover. That said, if these guys bust their ass, I can see a few of them working to get on the Senior squad. I mean the defense has some holes for the Top team. The MF and attack are kind of loaded. Copa Squad - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Copa_América_squads#United_States Olympic Squad - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_at_the_2024_Summer_Olympics_–_Men's_team_squads#United_States - I'll say this, the guys that are serious about making the Top squad - they need to change those Club flags to something in Europe.

You know who really hasn't impressed me? The fucking ref. Was Morocco the better team? Clearly. Were they 4-0 better? Only because it was 12 v 11.

When I look at the best teams in this tournament, I see teams that bring difference makers with their overage players. Who the fuck did we bring?

Can we fire Gregg again?
-
Christ. If it wasn’t done before it is now.
-
What’s really infuriating about that question is that it neglects the real issue - coaching. Why does the u20 squad have a decent coach/gameplan and why did they hamstring the senior squad with a brain dead idiot in Gregg?

Was driving kiddo to the dentist. Just saw that fucking penalty:

You mean the one that goes: Thissssss Isssssss The Olym-pic so-ng You always hear the music, but you never hear the words.

I agree with some of this - with a major reservation - why does she have to "meet a standard" because she is a woman? So what if she has some elevated testosterone levels? That's her natural advantage - good for her. Just like every guy in these Olympics hit the jackpot with the Genetic lottery, so did she. She has the parts, why make her change? It's not even a medically acceptable action. IE doctors things it's a bad thing. Anyway, enough soap box. It's a complex thing - I suggest everyone take the time to educate themselves. This pod just popped up on my radar specifically about this topic: Theire Ep 1 focus is Christine Mboma, same situation (200 M runner).

The head has to be up BEFORE the 15 meter mark. that should be a DQ. There shouldn't even be a need for a protest - they have already DQ'd swimmers (British in fact) for this in this Olympics. Swimswam said she got lucky and should have been DQ's: https://swimswam.com/honey-osrin-avoids-dq-makes-200-back-olympic-final-after-clearly-passing-15m-underwater/

I just flipped on NBC - I am calling my shot right now!!! 15.066!!!

Oh so this is about the boxing today. Like @TexasHooch said - yawn. People are talking about Imane Khelif as if she is trans. She's not, she's a woman with very high testosterone levels. And they passed the tests for being allowed to compete in the Olympics, so there should be zero discussion.

I think what you meant to say is that it is a Venn diagram that is a single circle.

Loser on the left, winner on the right.
