  1. I also don't get their need to try to walk every ball out, instead of just clearing them out. Given their tactics, just booting them down the field is a lot smarter than what they are doing.
  2. I don't get what Honduras is doing. They are inviting 100% pressure, they are just asking to get scored on with these tactics.
  3. I wouldn't count out Mexico even if Honduras scored to equalize.
  4. Never count them out - you knew they were going to get one eventually.
  5. Wild stat of the day: Messi just assisted on his 58th international goal. That tied him for the international assist record with ...
  6. that’s the ball above the keeper and 23 got the ball his foot clean. Shanked it.
  7. OH MY GOODNESS!!! How did Mexico not score there!??!?!
  8. Unknown. The teams are seeded based on points in their 2 games of the QF stage. Standard 3-1-0 points. Right now it is: Canada 6 pts, +4 GD USA 6 pts, +3 GD Panama 4 pts, +1 GD Mexico would be 4th if they advance. Honduras can finish any place from 1st to 4th should they advance.
  9. You sure about that? I always saw it as 8:30 kick off.
  10. In other CNL matches: Panama-Costa Rica drew 2-2 last night. Combined with a Panama 0-1 win in leg 1, Panama advances. Canada is up 3-0 at home right now on Suriname. They won the first leg 1-0 so well on to advancing.
  11. Things certainly can change. But if we were making a World Cup roster today - Pepi would be the #2 no question about it. I don't question that Balogun is going to put in the work. This style of play matches his game too much for him to not want to play in it.
  12. I don't think it's much of a comparision - Balogun is the #1 if he is healthy. The question is who is our number 2 and how much of a drop off is there? And right now Pepi has set himself apart as that #2. He's also shown that the dropoff is a lot less than it was before. Its still significant though.
  13. I hope he see just what this team can do when they are freed up. He was such ass.
  14. Weah!!!
  15. Poch has us using a multi prong attack. Both brining the ball up the wing and up the middle. It was basically what we wanted GGG to do. It’s not really that complicated. I don’t know why GGG didn’t do it more.
  16. Tactical Manager talked about it the other day We come out in a 4-2-3-1 But when we have the ball, we attack
  17. Dude should be hit with a ban. The FA just needs to be consistent with their punishment. Bernardo Silva tweeted something racist - 1 game Enzo Fernandez was on the Argentina bus after the Copa win over the summer vidNeo posted of their racist and homophobic chant - no suspension at all from the FA (or FIFA) My question to this is how is this 7 games and those were 1 game COMBINED?
  18. "lost their passports"? How does that happen for these guys? England was able to clean shit up. Expect more, police better and take down the fences. They have given up in a lot of these places and don't even try.
  19. Nothing says Department of Government Efficiency like having Vivek and Musk both running it. I bet the transactional relationship with his kids really fostered a great home life.
  20. 1 to 2 more years? Dude, this is going to be going on for a while.
  21. I’m not sure why other federations just do not get this. If you treat the fans like animals and stick them behind cages, don’t be shocked when they act like animals.
  22. This is mine. The family is having a debate of which of my sisters (6 and 11 years older than me) took 6 year old Captain Ron to see this in the theater.
  23. When Stephen King thinks you’re too dark …
