  1. You have a link? Trying to figure out what exactly the presale is. Like...can I get tickets to any match even though we don't know who is playing yet?
  2. I don't necessarily disagree with this approach, but players like Arfsten, McGlynn, and Blackmon don't belong anywhere near this roster. It just seems like a lost chance to try to develop some continuity.
  3. Banks getting capped and Dest coming back is positive. That MF....ooof.
  4. I'm at Crescent. Totally caught all of us off guard due to it being Permian. I would be shocked if there isn't another one in the next 6-9 months.
  5. I'm saying those districts are NOT experiencing enrollment decline.
  6. If you are going to or already have young kids in public schools, it would behoove you to find a district right now that is not projected to be battling enrollment decline. In DFW, that would be Denton ISD, Northwest ISD, HEB ISD, Aledo, and the northern burbs in Collin County. We are in HEB and already have an announced ballot initiative to raise property taxes to bridge the funding gap from the legislature. If that does not pass, we will have to cut programs that are very popular and proven to be very helpful to students. Our district is probably one of, if not the best, districts in the state when it comes to academics & financial efficiency. If we are having to take measures like this, it's going to be very ugly for the districts around us with dwindling enrollment. What an shitty time to have a first grader and a kindergartner. We love our school, but I can't guarantee we're going to stay in Texas much longer at this rate.
  7. Despite this noise, the last report showed a 2.7% increase year-over-year. Maybe that is understated due to what you shared, but if it ticks up again next month, I think the market is finally going to start waking up to reality. Then again, I don't know shit.
  8. The next inflation report just got a whole lot more interesting. Jobs showing signs of cracking already and then if inflation ticks higher on top of that? Yowza.
  9. I don't really care as long as he's playing. Playing for a trash team might actually be good for him since he'll be needing to block a lot of shots.
  10. Would be a very sensible move for him...finally.
  11. I mean, he took his shot at the premier league and at a massive club. I don’t fault him for that. But everything after that has not worked out and it never seemed like it was going to workout.
  12. Why the hell would Turner agree to go anywhere he isn’t going to get playing time? Is this dude serious about making the World Cup?
  13. I think Italy would be a great place for Gio to go. Hope this goes through.
  14. I think this is pretty close except I think Pepi is going to have a big year and will take the striker spot. Honestly, that is a pretty damn good lineup if they all actually play hard. Then you have Luna, Johnny (if he ever gets his shit together for the USMNT), Balo, and Musah on the bench.
  15. Mexico was putting out an ancient team last cycle. Jimenez is definitely old, but the rest of their lineup is at least in their 20s now.
  16. I don't know that Mexico is in a down cycle. They were in a down cycle in the Berhalter years, which is part of the reason he had so much success against them. I would say they are coming out of that at this point.
  17. Overall, this is about what I expected. Missing 5-6 guys against mexico is just not a recipe for a good night. I will say, those guys fought their asses off, so I tip my hat to them. If you had told me before the tournament that we were going to make it farther than Canada and Panama, I would have laughed at you. There are 5 guys from this team I’d like to see in September. Luna, Tillman, Richards, Ream, and Adams. I do think there are some guys who could be culture guys who should stick around. Berhalter, Freeman, Agyemang, and Freese. Everyone else is a big meh for me. But I think you have to have those other guys there to help push the full squad.
  18. Arfsten is going to cost us 2 goals in this game.
  19. Game day! Let’s repeat 2021.
  20. Is it possible to agree that CP is our greatest player ever but taking the last competitive tournament off before a hosted World Cup is a pretty shitty look? Nobody here is saying he shouldn't be on the roster next year, but he's also not immune from criticism. The best players for other countries are not taking this summer off, and they played just as much, if not more than CP, this past season. Regarding Sunday, I fear we are going to roll out the same exhausted lineup again and it's not going to be pretty. I just don't see how Poch can run Arfsten out there against this Mexico side. He is going to get absolutely torched.
  21. Has Luna ever had interest from Europe? I heard on the halftime show that he was playing USL 3 years ago. Pretty crazy he’s now leading us to the final of the gold cup.
  22. That was not a Guatemalan team of old. They were not dirty and played some pretty good soccer at times. All their American born players had an impact on the game. The floor of CONCACAF is rising which is good. I’m very concerned how tired this roster looks. I know this is their 5th game, but damn they are struggling at the end of games. I do not feel good at all going up against Mexico.
  23. Man…didn’t expect to get overrun by them after we went up 2-0.
