  1. This whole thread is dumb (obviously) but what is the "he was playing well before he got hurt!" narrative you're trying to push? He handed the ball off four times and then came up limping after the first called pass play when he bailed on the play at the first indication of pressure and ran up the middle.

    Sargent has always been good at everything but actually scoring at the national team level. If he starts scoring regularly, he's a perfect fit for everything we're looking for in a 9.
  3. When he said "sometimes you think about a girl, but sometimes, you're just there thinking about the donkey you're fucking" I lost it
  4. Shawn Marion is the guy who has always popped into my head as a player comparison for Eason but maybe it's just them being the same size with ugly shots.
  5. He did play almost 30 minutes a game during a 7 game playoff series in his rookie year, but $85 mil sure seems like a lot for the type of player he is.
  6. What does Jabari instead of Paolo change? You can't ever have enough big switchable wings.
  7. Eason at 17 and then taking a shot on a guy like Koloko at 26 and this is a perfect draft from the Rockets for me.
  8. And what player (that you actually want to sign to a large contract) is going to come play for a 25 win team that only consists on 1st and 2nd year players?
  9. 100% this. It will just make ads relatively more expensive compared to what they were before which is fine because they also will be generating more real value.
  10. Lol at Sterling being a "big loser" here.

    Nah, that was a terrible article that Turner had to correct

    The lineup you posted (for the US) is some FIFA shit. The Chelsea lineups you posted are all using three CBs. They aren't going one CB with two outside backs next to them and then just wingers ahead. A realistic lineup for the US in a similar vein would have Miles Robinson, Zimmerman, and Richards as the three CBs with Antonee Robinson and Dest as the wing backs. Essentially compared to my lineup, you're pulling Musah for an extra CB. Reyna at the false 9 absolutely would not be a waste. Viewing any formation as completely static and "well, you said he's the 9 so he's stuck up top" is a misunderstanding. There is zero reason why Reyna wouldn't be able to drop deeper in that role. It might not work but I'd at least like to see it before giving up on it.

    I don't think 3/5 at the back is the answer for the US. We have struggled scoring and when everyone is healthy (if that ever happens) already have trouble finding minutes for all of the attacking players we want on the field. 3/5 in the back pulls another one of those attackers for an extra central defender. 4-2-3-1 could be a great fit for our player pool as a slight change up to the 4-3-3. It would really play out very similarly to what we already have but would add a true 10 role for Reyna instead of just a free role on the wing. I still want to see Reyna as a false 9 in the 4-3-3. That gets the most talent on the field for us and Pulisic/Reyna/Weah have a lot of ability to switch across the front line.

    This absolutely could be a golden generation, but the thought that our current roster is our golden generation in their prime is just wild. Our best players are all in the 19-23 range.
  15. Three point shooting was kinda Rashard Lewis's thing, do you mean a better defensive Rashard Lewis?

    Lol at giving the armband to Adams who was also being subbed at the same time and had to give it away as well

    Everyone is being way too unselfish here.

    If your first thought about the US being up 3-0 to all but clench qualification is "I'm going to get annoyed that the coach thinks he got the lineup right", yeah, you're wrong.

    Too bad Hoppe (who has played like 60 minutes in the last 6 months) or Konrad (got hurt at the start of the year and hasn't played at all since) wasn't here to play instead...

    Our last six games against Mexico are 3 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses.

    If we tie Panama, they can't pass us. If we tie Costa Rica, they realistically can't pass us on goal differential. That should mean we are guaranteed to at least be fourth and make the playoff with one more point.
  22. He had QJ spades for the straight
  23. The NBA uses 5 minutes within 5 points as "clutch time". Is there a different standard for college?
  24. Can either of you explain the thought process behind why you would always be beat vs a competent player? It's been several years since I played poker consistently, but I'm not sure I understand the reasoning.
