    I think people have wishful thinking about Weah at the 9. At some point you have got to try it instead of rolling it out in the WC for the first time. Greg isn't going to try it.
  2. If Josh Green doesn't play Summer League than I would suspect his time here is going to be short. It's very odd they didn't try to give him minutes last summer. Dude needs minutes in actual basketball games.

    Well I guess there’s only one thing left to do then…

    I'm not so sure we're screwed with that result in the first two. Wales is going to have their depth tested while playing England the 3rd game. I'm not sure how Wales is going to score on them, to be honest. But I agree, we need to have 3 points going into the England game so we can rotate the squad. The thing that has always screwed us in the past is we've had to work so hard to get out of the group and we have nothing left in the tank for the knockouts stages.

    Calling my shot: USA 1-Wales 1 USA 0-England 2 USA 3-Iran 1 Advancement will depend on goal differential in Wales-Iran game.

    I want to see Reyna play injury-free soccer for a month before I start penciling him in to lineups. For me, he is at-best a super-sub at the moment. I think there's going to be ample time in these 3 games to get everyone minutes, so I actually think we have a really great problem in the midfield. I don't think the lack of an in-form 9 means we're doomed offensively, but if we combine that with the terrible set piece service from CP, that's not good. Key things we need going into the fall is a keeper who is actually playing club ball and Chris Richards to get healthy and in-form. I think we have the squad to get results against Wales and Iran, but I have some serious concerns when we need to have a tactical adjustment during a game. It seems like we have zero ability to come up with a plan B. Example like today when Uruguay switched to a 4-4-2 and shredded us. To me, this all comes down to the first game. Win the game vs Wales and that gives you tons of options the rest of group play. A draw obviously doesn't kill you, but I'd rather go into the Iran game needing a draw rather than a win to advance.

    Yedlin is a big bag of nothing to me. No touch and is a liability. I know Dest will be the starter anyway, but cannon should be ahead of him.
  8. I think you’re going to have to identify needs and prioritize which ones you’d like to address because they don’t have the flexibility to address everything this off-season. I’d love to see them get Looney for rebounding and better rim protection and then find a guy in the draft. That combined with THJ should make you a better team next season.
  9. LOL at the Knicks hiring Brunson's dad.
  10. Let me re-phrase: why would Chicago let him walk? Surely they're going to make an effort to re-sign him, right?

    I don’t follow AFC much so I have no idea where this Moroccan team is on the quality scale. For what it’s worth, they are ranked 24 compared to Iran at 21. I guess this was to try to get a similar quality opponent.

    Not sure how much we learned tonight. Morocco was not a good team.

    Anybody know how Morocco compares to Iran?
  14. THJ really isn’t that bad of a contract and I think this playoff run showed they could have used all 3. He’s definitely tradeable but you might need to let him showcase a bit next season.
  15. Why is Chicago wanting to get rid of ZL?
  16. I'm pretty excited about this as well.
  17. Heck of a season, everyone. Lots to address this off-season but it will be nice to see Luka finally get a little rest.
  18. Yes, this is not a good look for Luka.
  19. Both were nut kicks. Let’s steal one more and play another home game.
  20. It will be nice that DFS and Bullock will only have to play 37-38 minutes instead of their usual 43.
  21. What a weird night. Between the water on the floor and then a free throw that sits on the back of the rim.
  22. We will take as many wins as they’re willing to give.
  23. Luka shooting like shit but everyone else doing well. Third quarter is the make or break.
  24. A 13-point lead has never felt so small.
  25. We’re actually shooting well but still have such a small lead.
