    So it appears that for the first time ever NBC (via peacock) is going to carry the opening ceremony live. I don’t know if Tokyo was, but it was the pandemic, it kind of didn’t matter. Brazil was on a 1-hour delay in 2016 and I know for sure 2012 London wasn’t live. Frankly our coverage sucks, I recommend picking up the BBC feed. But the Ceremony will be at noon eastern, 11 AM central. First one not at the stadium (the parade of athletes at least).

    Forget Robotaxis, the carrot should just say “empty promises” because at this point he just talks about stuff his company will never deliver.

    To me Olympic Sports are the ones where the pinnacle is winning an Olympic medal. This is kind of what eliminates a lot of "pro" sports because their top events are majors (golf), grand slams (tennis), a World Cup (Soccer is weird because this is a U23 tournament), Basketball is weird because when it was amateurs, this was the top - but now I would argue that league titles are more important. Give me things like Track and Field, Swimming/Diving, Gymnastics, Volleyball or a ton of smaller sports that we don't even know are sports. Those are the Olympic Sports.

    LEAKED API? I thought Twitter was open-source! Oh wait - https://finance.yahoo.com/news/elon-musk-published-twitter-secret-120600748.html?guccounter=1

    Uhhhhh... This. Because it's so sloppy, if you make a mistake deep, you can pay the price badly. And while that can play in our favor, nothing is guaranteed. We need to play well and smart to win our games.

    LeBron and Gauff are shit picks for flag bearers. Not that they aren't amazing athletes, but the flag bearers should be in "Olympic sports." Not tennis, not basketball (ok maybe the women), but sports where Olympics are the pinnacle of the sport. Heard someone say it the other day, the only 2 right choices are Simone Biles or Katie Ledecky.

    I give him a pass on SOME of those because he is a U23, but he can't have that many. He was off center so often and never came out enough to cut down angles (looking at those first 2 goals). Combined with what he did in the first half, I want to see someone else between the pipes next go around.

    Damn that was a nice finish, but sucks that it was offsides. It was close.
  10. Captain Ron
    Uh, didn't their guy trip our defender on that goal?
  11. Captain Ron
    Henry looks sad with each French goal, he knows that's going to cost him the US job.
  12. Captain Ron
    Also GD these guys for making me eat my words on marking well. Both of those goals we wide open.
  13. Captain Ron
    I can't see it. This guy has given up 2 easy ones. WTF?!?!?!
  14. Captain Ron
    DAMN 2 great chances that just didn't go in.
  15. Captain Ron
    Jesus from out of nowhere and out of nothing.
  16. Captain Ron
    Damn, that would have been nice. Absolute right decision to shoot, wish it went in instead of off the bar.

    If he wasn't a U23 player I agree, but the U23 part - I'm willing to give him a pass on it given he had to still play the two attackers in the middle. The French attack is good, I think our defense is up to the task. They are marking really well and holding their lines (and then let a guy get in past them). We need to stay on the attack, keep them honest and not let them get comfortable on our end of the field. I would really like us to get the opening goal too.
  18. Captain Ron
    That shot ended up going wide, but what was Schulte doing? He drifted right and opened up the left side wide open. If that was inside the post, I don't think it's saved.
  19. Captain Ron
    Nice buildup and shot. It was saved, but it shows that we are here to play. Come on Busio!!! Gotta stay on your feet!
  20. Captain Ron
    That's not a yellow.
  21. Captain Ron
    A little bit of an equalizer for the US, the French aren't the perfect dangerous force we saw in the World Cup and Euros. Though also can be a detriment as we just saw on giving up that corner.

    "Please let us have this one"? We're going to take this from them and then take their girlfriends after the game.
  24. Captain Ron
    Jokes aside I think we should have a US Soccer game thread for all the matches.
