  1. Raducanu was up a break in the second set at 4-2, but the nerves got to her when she was serving at 4-3. She completely lost her first serve and then double faulted on game point to send it to 4-4. Then the China woman held serve easily and Raducanu started her serve going down 0-40. She then said “fuck it!” and played well again to bring it to deuce… then she got in her head again and lost two straight points and the match. She had the game to beat the China woman, but she needs to find a way to get out of her head. There wasn’t an ailment, nothing pulled or twisted. She just started thinking about it too much. If she can channel some zen shit, she could be a seeded player at the U.S. Open. 🇺🇸 Emma just can’t handle Anisimova’s game. She’s never beaten the American-born Russian. Emma didn’t play poorly, she just played someone who she can’t handle, especially not on grass. The Romanian Canadian fatty just isn’t very good at tennis.
  2. I can watch this, because I don’t care what they say… But the Scuffed Podcast mentioned that Pulisic said that he wanted to come in for the friendlies, but take a break during the Gold Cup, but Pochettino said “No.” Either all summer of nada. Much better that the good players get some rest… in my opinion.
  3. 👆 Just like the Olympics. NBC showed the Olympics on NBC, USA Network, The Golf Channel, CNBC… maybe one or two more. I don’t have a Paramount Plus subscription, but I inhaled more Olympics last year from Paris than any doctor would ever recommend. And at no additional charge.
  4. I’m pulling for Raducanu in the next round. One, I find 🇬🇧 Emma attractive, butt… Two, she is developing into a solid tennis player. She’s ranked 37th in the world now and has a very good grass game.
  5. Yet another post… …with the sophomoric responses hidden from polluting this constructive thread. Just a bit from the peanut gallery. 🥜🥜🥜
  6. Peanut gallery wants white pants, I think. I am just thinking of the rating & sustainability of the sport.
  7. Report back with the number of guys sporting Tolkin’s hairdo.
  8. Ecuador is #2, behind Argentina, in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying right now, but no one without Latin American ties could name a single person on that team. Normally Ecuadorean fans would fill the stadium, but with Herr Stephen Miller in charge of ethnic cleansing, I don’t see those fans attending fútbol matches anytime soon.
  9. What is the actual definition of “par”? And how is it actually calculated? I ask, because if the best players in the world cannot achieve “par” scores, then perhaps “par” is not being calculated correctly.
  10. 1) I don’t care much for the team at the moment. 2) I would like to see the list of friendlies played by Berhalter. I much rather lose to Türkiye 🇹🇷 & Switzerland 🇨🇭 than destroy Grenada 🇬🇩 & Bermuda 🇧🇲. I’m just glad that Argentina 🇦🇷 tied it up late in the qualifier vs Colombia 🇨🇴.
  11. Mount Rushmore = solid stone You can’t get much more stone than Stonie Clark.
  12. How do you feel about Johnny Football Cardoso? Isn’t it ironic? Deep Thought: If we win the Gold Cup, we will really highlight how fucking worthless that tournament is.
  13. Tolkin has been watch entirely too much “Soccer Made In Germany” videos from the late 1970s and has sought out a German barber to take him back to that time. PS- As bad as his hair is, Tolkin is light years better than Arfsten.
  14. Big Soccer game thread. Matt Turner getting his props. https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/united-states-vs-switzerland-6-10-8pm-et.2135448/ LUNA is in! I'm back on the 🇺🇸 bandwagon!
  15. Full Disclosure: I am pulling for Switzerland right now. 🤷‍♂️ Deport me.
  16. Switzerland 🇨🇭 3 : 0 🇺🇸 USA 33’ Netherlands 🇳🇱 3 : 0 🇲🇹 Malta 33’ “I believe that we are Malta! I believe that we are Malta! I believe that we are Malta! I believe that we are Malta!”
  17. LB Afsten is who we thought he was.
  18. ESPN2 has “Athletes Unlimited Softball League” on right now. Some team (not a college that I know) vs another team (that is not a college that I have a decades’ long opinion of). Here’s the kicker- BOTH teams are wearing black pants. I only pull for teams that wear WHITE pants. 🤷‍♂️ This is not going to become part of my summer sports rotation. Now if the softball league backed by MLB knows what is good for their league, on if the teams will ALWAYS be wearing white pants.
  19. I thought that Conte was leaving Napoli (because he and the sporting director don’t like each other) and returning to Juventus. What happened? 🤌🤌🤌 EDIT: Apparently things were smoothed over enough for him to stay one more year.
  20. Emma Raducanu looking lovely and playing some exquisite grass court tennis at Queen’s today. Highlights: https://www.wtatennis.com/videos/4282541/raducanu-defeats-bucsa
  21. Nice!! [insert Instagram search screenshot] Hook ‘em! 🤘
  22. What if we held two different soccer tournaments in the USA that no one gives a shit about? Wait, wait, wait… I am not done. What if we held these tournaments AT THE SAME TIME? In the meantime, we will have a paramilitary group with total immunity and zero oversight or accountability roaming the country targeting events that are popular with Latinos, immigrants, and first & second generation American citizens who will kidnap whomever they want, separating families, and shipping people out of the country? Sound like an amazing idea? We did too!! Narrator: It was not an amazing idea.
  23. PAC 12 sends THREE teams to Omaha! Break up the PAC 12! They’re too good!! oh… bitch-assed overrated SEC whiners can’t handle the truth. I’m pulling for the PAC 12 + Murray State & Coastal Carolina. Won’t mind if Louisville wins it though. Will be making LSU & Arkansas voodoo dolls tomorrow.
