Juventus’ first goal happens because Weston McKennie nudges a opponent who has jumped in the air to head the ball, but only subtly enough so that the opponent doesn’t crash to the ground or even complain to the ref. 

But the opponent jumps, McKennie nudges the guy out of the ball’s trajectory, McKennie knocks the ball to a teammate who immediately passes it to the guy who scored.

100% a hockey assist and Juventus doesn’t even have the ball if he doesn’t foul the guy or if he fouls the guy too hard.

Sly move by Li’l Elm Fat Boy!

Nooooo!!!!!

Now we’re going to end up  in Pot 1 for the 2026 World Cup draw!

😱


This isn't about the pots. This is about how our team is performing relative to everyone else. We are playing shitty. And these ranking show this.

Why is Mexico ranked anywhere close to us? We've demolished them head-to-head for years and it's not like they've had better results than us in tournaments. 

Ranking are similar to ELO rankings, so it’s not just about the wins and losses, but who they are over too. Some of our losses are bad.

Comments are wild.  Fuck Vazquez for even trying to pull that bullshit.  I know who I'd bet still being on that roster next season (if he's not sold/loaned).

I’m most offended by Vazquez’s peluqueria choices. ¡Qué feo!

I seriously fucking doubt Sullivan is going to play another season for Philly 2. 

If you mean who you'd bet on making the 1st team then yes 😁

I mean, there was no reason to leap over a dude laying on his back there.  I don't know anything about him, but that looks pretty shitty.

He turned 15 two days ago. I'm not all that concerned with micro character judgements. 

Seems like he has a good head on his shoulders and the right people around him.

I like this first game with Pochi as the new coach. Panama is exactly the sort of head pounding challenge that's always frustrated me. You know going into the match that they're going to play 9 behind the ball and foul hard every chance they get. You know CONCACAF is going to allow it. Now how do you tactically solve it?

This is where the USMNT leaks points. Panama will play for the draw from the outset. Skill-wise, they should be overwhelmed. Beating the big dog(s) is great and all, but when we draw against Panama, Honduras, or Guatemala, the loss of points is crippling.

this is the same way i felt when the cubs hired joe maddon and theo epstein, and when texas hired chris beard. i have gone from dejected to

overnight. we’ve gone from “guaranteed to embarrass ourselves and waste our golden generation” to “we’re finally taking this shit seriously” and it feels so, so good.
