  1. Unsurprising result at Cincinnati, but for a minute there I thought we might be able to take a point on the road. We seem to play a two-man game once we get into their third, and as a result we need someone to make an amazing play in order to get a legit scoring chance. Right now, that's pretty much Wolff, sometimes Biro or Bukari. We should have a lot more depth to our tactics at this point. Not necessarily more complicated, but there should be more facets to our strategy.
  2. 7 minutes plus stoppage time, and I feel sorta confident we won't get another shot off.
  3. Evander just murders us every time. I member having a legit 10 one year.
  4. No shots in goal other than the PK. Wolff is doing work this second half though.
  5. In exchange, China will concede 80% reciprocal friendship.
  6. He has grown on me. If Tristan had gone home, he would be a dark horse to win it imo.
  7. Lots of us did, but Dani has not really progressed imo.
  8. That was really terrible soccer until Wolff, Sanchez and Biro came in. Vazquez still should have scored twice prior to the switch. And that second El Paso goal was a cluster fuck ending with a missed save. But El Paso should not have been able to hang with us, that's bad fucking news. Or just more confirmation that this team's standing was smoke an mirrors before losing by multiple goals in 3 out of the last 4 league games. I believe this team is hot garbage without Sanchez and Wolff on the field. I'd be fine if Rubio didn't see the field again.
  9. Fuck yes. The two best shows for me are Foundation and Severance, and both have massive gaps between seasons. I wish I could cryogenically freeze the part of my brain that stored that information because I can't remember shit without a rewatch.
  10. "Obviously our economy sucks..." Nooo, YOUR LIFE sucks. The economy has nothing to do with that. Also, if you think the economy sucks now, hoo boy, the second half of 2025 is going to be lit.
  11. Playing without a 9 or a 10 and losing both 8s or whatever is kinda hard. We were fucking trash in the second half, damn.
  12. This is a satire account, but nobody can tell the difference between satire and real life. I'm sure some maga will repeat this shit as if it's a legit idea.
  13. Guess the answer sketch had me dying. That is classic Hamm.
  14. I can't remember seeing an MLS team look this tactically helpless against another MLS team. At both ends of the field. And undisciplined, lazy-ass passing. Nico wanted this to be a Sabovic/Cascante type of game, next time let's consider trying Ilie/Svatok and maybe White does not score four fucking times. Doesn't seem worth breaking down individual play, it was all so shitty across the board. Ah well, 4th place was fun.
  15. Aside from election night, this is probably the most powerful he has felt since Jan6. I CAN SEND A TWEET AND MAKE MILLIONS!!! He's making money hand over fist for his minions, probably judges and other officials, and maybe more importantly, is amassing political favor. So I would assume he will keep doing this shit every few weeks.
  16. That looks really stupid and really fucking fun. Just like Gunn's Suicide Squad which might be the only DC film I would ever rewatch.
  17. It's pretty fun. I don't understand Minecraft at all, but the movie actually gave me some insight into what it's all about. The movie is super ridiculous and dumb, but it works. The pacing seems geared towards YouTube/tiktok crowd/high adults. And I love silly self-deprecating Mamoa.
  18. There is a global movement to make him fail. That doesn't seem like a great position, but then again, I'm not a billionaire.
  19. Lol welp. That is how you finish.
  20. Why people care about early mid-season NSD commitments recruiting rankings is beyond me. Wake me up in the fall winter spring Meat Judging Season.
  21. I think Kristen is a badass, looks amazing and is super smart. She lacks polish, but she brings more to the judge's table than Padma, and I think she will improve with the hosting duties.
  22. Devastating. Hopefully this changes some parents' minds.
  23. Agree that Gallagher was very effective before CJ came in and he moved back. He will be a huge asset as we need to rest guys and he can play any of the four outside positions. I like having Wolff on the team, he will have some really good performances, but I keep hoping he'll take the next step, and I am not sure if it's coming. His demeanor can be problematic as well. When he is on, he has outstanding awareness of situation and space. He created a few goals/chances last year with some elite movement and really nice skill. He just isn't in the same class as the 10/8's on the top teams in this league.
  24. I was pretty low in the supporters section, so my view of the field was not great. But this looks like our best defense we have had since Gabrielsen in '22, and we could end up with one of the best defenses in the league. KC is also shit, so I should probably hold off on that kind of talk. Ilie is a massive upgrade, as we dominated the midfield for the full 90. We need to take our shots. I don't think Owen and Dani are good enough to control and create in this horseshoe offense. And our service still sucks ass, so we need crosses and shots in volume. We have a legit target man in Vasquez and two extremely quick wingers, let's fucking send the ball long and risk losing it in their third. We were winning it back from KC in the MF consistently, but Owen and Dani are vulnerable in possession and will give the ball away in bad spots. We will need Biro and Dessler to make accurate crosses in that offense. Obrian and Bukari are best in transition imo. Overall, this team looks a lot better and while we may not have an offensive player the caliber of Seba, '22 Seba was not going to suit up for this team again. Vasquez is going to be fun to watch. I would bet he will have a brace soon. Great first game, offensive chemistry will take time, so I am hopeful we will be scoring a lot by mid season.
