  1. Shouldn’t be seeing a balrog in this series. There’s over 1000 years between Durin IIIs reign and Durin VI when Moria is abandoned.

    This is absolutely correct. England is very good. Wales is a bunch of Championship players and the decomposing corpse of Garett Bale. Sure, they can beat us if we do not play our best but we should win that game. If we can’t beat Iran, the wheels have flown off the wagon. Should be 2-0-1. I could definitely see a 0-1-1 needing to win against Iran and move forward on goal difference but that would be a disappointing result imo.
  3. What the actual fuck.

  5. We’re on vacation at a beach town my wife went to with her parents growing up. I’ve never been here before. Had this back on forth one night planning what do the next day. Her: “Oh, we should take the boys to this beach I used to go to. It’s great for kids.” Me: “Sure, what’s the name?” Her: “I don’t remember.” Me: “Where is it?” Her: “It’s to the right.” Me: “….” Tone. Two days later we were driving to a farmer’s market. She yelled that the beach she was talking about was a right hand exit off a state road about we were on, which was 15 miles from where we were staying. Needless to say, I needed to admit that she was correct about the beach being “on the right.”
  6. I couldn’t get out of bed for the first 48 hours. Then 2 days where I felt terrible and really sore throat. 3 days of feeling fine but sore throat then back to normal but blisters on hands.
  7. Got this from my toddler a few weeks back. Absolutely terrible.
  8. I have an entire closet full of hundreds of n95 masks in boxes, huge boxes of latex gloves and gallon jugs of hand sanitizer from the early days of covid that will never be used.

    I don’t even know how it’s possible for pefok to miss by that much on the ball from Reyna.

    Azteca is going to be absolutely bonkers. I don’t think Tata can remain the manager if they lose. The team will be out for blood after 3 straight Ls. Can’t see Greg pulling out anything but a 4-3-3, but he could very well bunker down and play for a draw. A loss and the Panama game is huge. Definitely see Zardes and Acosta starting in Azteca. Would not surprise to see Dest on the bench for a more defensive option. Yedlin? Hard to keep Pulisic and Aaronson out of the 11 right now. Gio won’t be back in time.

    Acosta will be starting in mid w Musah and Adams. Big, big loss.

    You answered your own question. Looking forward to Zardes starting in Azteca!

    Whatever the question is, CCV, Arriola and Morris are not the answer for the USMNT.

    It's also ridiculous that the excuse was travel time. As if flying charter from Columbus to Hamilton to Minneapolis is more taxing than Charlotte, Atlanta, Nashville or Northern Florida. Greg consistently outthinks himself. The camp was in Phoenix, and apparently flying to Columbus was fine.

    He's the only other CB on the roster.

    So tonight we've got: Acosta in for Adams Chris Richards out, Zimmerman reportedly less than 100% with a hamstring. Do we see Miles Robinson + Mark Mckenzie? I'd still think a 80% Zimmerman plays. Do we get the Zardes Trifecta? I think Pepi will start with Pulisic and Weah up top. It will be below zero in temp and with wind chill somewhere around -26. Absolutely scandalous that USSF chose to put the game here. Honduras sucks. In normal conditions this should be an easy win. Let's see what magic Greg can conjure up.

    One would think he's gonna stay in the RB family and move up to Leipzig.

    This is exactly correct. He was a middling mls coach (zero trophies, won 38% of his games) who thinks he is the smartest guy in every room and is totally out of his depth. Our game plans comprise of a bunch of ponderous possession with the end hope that “Pulisic can do something” on offense and “hope Tyler Adams cleans everything up” on defense. It’s laughable. We started 5 guys who are starters (I know Pulisic and Dest may not qualify) for Champions League squads and lost to Larim, Buchanan, David and 8 guys named Gord. National team football is not club. It’s about establishing an identity and implementing simple tactics in short windows that put your best players in positions to succeed. Does anyone think we are doing that? Remember when Greg started and wanted to play Tyler Adams at rb and run everything through him? Fun times.

    Greg is a walking mediocrity as a coach who consistently has no game plan. We can’t score in any first half and are always behind the eight ball hoping that one of our generational talents pulls something out. It’s why pulisic is always pressing. Same with Mckinnie who was playing 1 on 3 half the time today. USSF should demand a higher standard, but as long as the $$$ keeps rolling in, they won’t.

    I agree on Arsenal. Horvath can’t get on the field at Nottingham Forrest, so I think that ship sailed.

    Also, Gyasi adding tons of attacking punch, as per usual. Dribbling out of touch trying to go by the defense is almost too on the nose.

    Great save by the dude who looks like he’s playing in a Sunday league. Reffing is approaching peak CONCACAF. Looking forward to Greg looking down the bench and saying “Paul Arriolla is what we need now” around minute 60.

    Turner needs to do muuuuuch better there.

    When you have a guy who hasn’t played a meaningful game in 2 months and has always been a stiff, you have to play him if he played for you in club years ago. I don’t make the rules.
