    USMNT 2023

    This was the window that we had scheduled Argentina 🇦🇷 & Brazil 🇧🇷 (NOT kidding) and then FIFA moved World Cup qualifiers to this window for CONMEBOL and at the last minute US Soccer had to arrange two friendlies with teams from this sofa at the Omega House.

    “Parents got jobs in Spain so that they could move there when he was younger.” FIFY The plan was always to find a legal way for him to go and train at La Masia. This wasn’t a random stroke of luck.
  3. The difference between PLAYING FOR A CLUB and PLAYING FOR A PROFESSIONAL FRANCHISE.
  4. Bring back the PAC 12 and let’s join that b*tch!
  5. He absolutely does not have it just a day & a half after completing a 4 hr 42 min 5 set match at around 2AM. They both knew that Zverev was not back to 100% and it was a hot & humid night. I think that Carlos should always be favored, but this match was decided as soon as Zverev won the previous match.

    UT needs to do this for the field so that they can start hosting stadium tours in Austin while our players play on grass. Austin is reaching that point.
  7. If Bed Shelton and Madison Keys win the US Open, I think that it will be the first time that a half-white American 🇺🇸 man and a half-white American 🇺🇸 woman win the US Open in the same year.
  8. Is 6’4”, 210 lbs really… …6’ 2.5”, 197 lbs? What is the size that they’re hoping he plays at? He’s highly thought of, just wondering how many years for him to reach ideal playing size.

    The new Real Madrid stadium is what all dome stadia (“stadiums” for you non-Latin speakers) should be like. HOLY SHIT! https://x.com/maxbretossports/status/1699154664598765788?s=46
  10. PPS- Does Chris Fowler now go to Skip Bayless’ eyebrow lady?
  11. PS- I feel like Big Foe could maybe beat Novak, but Novak would patiently hand Shelton rope as young Ben spectacularly hung himself on Arthur Ashe in front of a packed house. But… an Álcaraz vs Shelton final would be tremendous for the sport.
  12. I’m not sure who Drunk Portnoy is, but I’ve never tried that drink because it’s like $22 and… I don’t drink at sporting events that I want to remember. My 2006 Rose Bowl ticket included VIP access pregame for our 25 person group. All-u-can eat food & open bar. I had one small cocktail about an hour before kickoff and then entered the stadium about 45 minutes before kickoff and didn’t drink anything the entire game. Another friend in the group missed the first 7-8 game minutes of the 3rd quarter to go pee and then get a beer at halftime. 🤯 That beer probably cost about $85+ between the price of the beer and the amount of the game he missed out on. Complete dumbass! If I bought a day pass, bounced around the small courts, and then stuck around to watch some of the night session on the big screens, then I might dump $22 on a stupid tennis ball drink, but in 2013, 2016, and 2022, I went for night sessions that I wanted to see. (at least 2016 & 2022)
  13. It’s comical that Vilda’s two great sins: 1) Having training methods that 15 women didn’t like 10 months ago. 2) He applauded his boss’ Wolf of Wall Street speech. With women’s sports, you can’t dare be a dickhead of a coach or a hard ass. There is no “The Ends Justify The Means.” in women’s soccer (at least). The head coach must be likable too. 🙄
  14. All on Ashe tomorrow. (Tuesday/ later today) Maybe Coco going first is an effort toward getting people through the gates before 3pm Eastern.
  15. The pregame segment where Sam Acho gushes when he recalls reaching out to Dabo to let him know that Cade Klubnik is “a leader of men” just seems even more awkward and embarrassing than it did before the game last night.
  16. Shut yer whore mouff! It’s a great rule! Go to your safe space and fist yourself. Duke is the Christian school (Methodist) and Clemson is the public school (land grant school) that puts animals on a pedestal. Again, the Methodists beat the sheep fucking golden cow worshippers. Jesus fucking hates Clemson.
  17. He was down short of the 1st down. Ball gets turned over on downs. QB gets hit, so Duke has to move the ball back 15 yards.
  18. Awesome! Ball is turned over on downs first. YES!!!
  19. I’m a few minutes behind real time, but Álcaraz is not very nice to his opponents. He can make them look foolish at times.

    Link to the pass. I don’t remember it, and I usually have a fairly strong memory.

    A.L.’s inclusion in the USMNT’s World Cup roster had me thinking… https://x.com/usmnttakes/status/1698546455386935573?s=46 Why does Gregg Berhalter hate America 🇺🇸?

    He was put together with all of the spare parts that shouldn’t have been included in the do-it-yourself kits that his parents had assembled over the years. Soccer’s answer to Dr. Frankenstein’s* monster. *
  23. Caroline Woz's rasslin' singlet is just weird. The only thing that I really like about it is that 1) She is really good friends with Serena Williams & 2) Serena wore something like that and she looked like 3 sausages worth of ground pork stuff into a single sausage casing. CarWoz at least looks fit, but it just doesn't seem hot. And if you're going to wear that shit, it should look hot. Don't like Novak, but you can see that he paces himself from his very first serve. Everything is so deliberate and everything seems so planned that whenever he hits any adversity, he seems like he starts to melt down (internally) for a bit before finding his way back to bouncing the fucking ball 10-15 times before every first serve and he never gets called out for taking 35 seconds of the 25 second serve clock. I feel like he just blocks the ball back about 95% of the time and says "Make a mistake, Spaz." and his opponents follow his order. I guess it is the other 5% of the time that makes them nervous and leads them to fail rather than forcing Novak to beat them over and over and over. I was going to post that Jelena challenges the automated calls and continues to disagree with the evidence that she doesn't like. Then I continued reading and saw that she did it tonight.
