  1. Their concern is only how can they fleece the government for more money. They want to cut spending only to direct that money to them.
  2. you can look it up - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_men's_national_soccer_team_results My gut says no, because I have 2 away wins for 2021 below. But I could be wrong. The biggest issue is that in the GGG era mainly, we prioritized home games over getting better, so our schedule looks a lot like this: 22 games, 7 not on US Soil and only 4 of those were competitive games.
  3. HEY JAMAICA, you play soccer on a worse field than ours!!!
  4. I think it's how low the stands are and how that angle makes the field look - because this is a full size 105 x 68 field. Add in how wide the sides are (track + the velodrome).
  5. That's an insult to concrete underpasses and drainage ditches. You know this is what leads to this: When we played soft GGG ball, the MO for teams was to beat the shit out of our players, especially CP10, because we weren't going to stand up for our players. In this confederation you can't do that. You need some Marty McSorley types out there willing to throw down. Poch wants more of this
  6. Otra
  7. What a miss! That should have tied it.
  8. We need to be careful. There is no reason we should be baited into anything here.
  9. Turner makes up!!
  10. So I was kind of curious about this, so I looked it up: US has 20 wins, 3 losses and 10 draws overall. Weirdest thing is that we've only played them in matches since 1988. Of those 33 matches, only 10 are in Jamaica. US record: 3 wins, 1 loss, 6 draws. Not great, but not awful. Those results by year: 1988 D 1994 W 1997 D 1999 D 2001 D 2003 W 2004 D 2012 L 2013 W 2021 D
  11. Fuckin' A this. I mean I get it's London, but he wasn't appreciated his first stint in the EPL, wby would he want to go back?
  12. This is the first game we will get to see how Poch is changing the culture of the USMNT. This type of game was one where GGG would play it safe and generally it would cost us big time. This is the proper take - this team is too damn talented to play it safe. Against most of CONCACAF, it should always be attack attack attack. And we should win the bulk of these games.
  13. I'm shocked. No one could have predicted this. I won't deny that the loser grifters survive his orbit because they can. But there is also a second type that survive - the really fucking smart grifters. The ones that get they don't need the limelight, just the power. Thiel, Stephen Miller, etc. These guys know how to get what they want, but leave all the spotlight on DJT. Hell, they know how to play to his ego. I was listening to an interview with Anthony Scaramucci yesterday. First off the guy is incredibly smart and well read. But he had a great observation of Donald Trump, he has his personal carousel, people get in his orbit, he uses them for all he needs and when they go by, he plunges the knife into their back and moves onto the next guy. If you take attention from Trump, then he throws you into the wood chipper. The smart guys stay off the carousel, the dumb guys jump right on.
  14. I didn't realize that Argentina players were let out by the FA and not even charged. So Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea) wasn't even punished by the FA for their homophobic chant on the bus.
  15. 7 games? That's pretty fucking ridiculous, given that Silva was given a single game and a fine for what I would consider a similar incident. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11679/11860441/bernardo-silva-manchester-city-midfielder-banned-and-fined-over-benjamin-mendy-tweet
  16. You probably think if you haven’t done anything wrong, it’s ok to talk to the cops too.
  17. Mars makes a lot more sense now
  18. LOL And Quoting just because this shouldn't be the last post of a page
  19. Those of your still on X ... First off WHY? But second, understand the new changes coming up in the TOS: https://www.reuters.com/legal/musks-x-seeks-steer-lawsuits-conservative-court-texas-2024-10-17/ https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/21/tech/x-twitter-terms-of-service/index.html This is the updated TOS: https://x.com/en/tos
  20. That's a plus? Also looked BAD
  21. I hope they eat shit sandwiches every year the day after the Super Bowl.
  22. I would rather have a team like the Bears where I know they are going to suck rather than the Cowboys that are not a terrible assembly of talent, but saddle them with a bad coach so that regardless of their ceiling, they are going to fall well short of it. Jim Kelly thinks that's pretty jaw dropping.
  23. Dude is walking off the field when they failed to get a 4th down lookiing like he was forced to watch someone shoot his dog.
