    Cincinnati gooooooooolllll. 😏 Mathis is totally fixed.

    Josef Martinez (Miami) with a nutmeg goal early in overtime (ET) to take the lead 3-2. Miami has made 6 subs (1 extra allowed for ET) and they still look gassed. Cincinnati had made 5 subs, so they still have one to use…. I think, unless they have used their windows.

    Nice assist by Messi. EVERYONE is walking around like old men. Apparently it is a bit warm for a soccer match. HEAT INDEX of 90° at the end of the match. What was it at the start of the match?
  4. The only positive criticism that Vlatko got for the entire tournament was for the adjustment that he made to playing a double pivot for the Sweden match. AND HE DIDN’T EVEN MAKE THAT ADJUSTMENT! Also, this explains why the team didn’t direct all of their traffic down the right flank (through Trinity Rodman) against 🇸🇪 Sweden, even though Sweden’s left back was their worst defender according to analytics (as I learned later from The Scuffed Podcast). My guess is it’s because the players didn’t have the analytics from Sweden’s previous matches, because that’s not something that the players usually research themselves. They get that shit from the coaching staff and their support staff. HOLY SHIT! Vlatko sucked even more ass than we thought! 🤯

    Correct! If Miami & Houston win, the final is in Miami. If Miami & SLC win, the final is in SLC. Don’t know where the games are if Miami loses. (Max Bretos didn’t mention the locations for these IF/THEN inputs.)
  6. Was Zverev’s tatted up smoke show girlfriend there? I’m not into tattoos, but she looks like a lot of fun. More images here. Hidden to keep from being overboard, but nothing racier than above.

    He was signed and inserted immediately, because they had a need and they knew that he knew how to play the Dutch way. Apparently no training necessary. It would be nice to see Pepi & Tillman see the field. LASTLY: Did Dest see time at RB? or LB in his one big season at Ajax?

    A good look at Pulisic's involvement in both first half goals as well as nearly setting up another. (Video is relatively short.) I'm not seeing it.
  9. He did clearly state 9-3 during the season and then a bowl win to take them to 10-3. He clearly stated that he would be happy with that improvement. If they go 8-4 (4-4 in the SEC), then he can say that he was only 1 off. Their DL may be in their opponents’ backfields as handoffs are being made against 8 of the teams on their schedule which will mask their issues at LB & DB. They have a history of winning a game or two that it looks like they are going to fuck up. Last year was the first truly joyful year of pure failure in a while and they still beat LSU and almost beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
  10. While on the subject of Olga… https://x.com/espnfc/status/1693381131310133641? What a brutal post-game smack in the face!
  11. 1) ☝️ Correct. Japan has the technique & speed to beat Spain. Japan is fucked against large women on set pieces. Japan would have likely beaten Spain again, but a larger team knocked them out along the way. 2) I was wrong about Olga, the goal scorer, being on Barcelona. She was one three starters from Real Madrid. (An adidas team… fascism.)

  13. Well, you said that they were “kids”, right?
  14. Apparently he is an excitable boy. (Video) https://x.com/blaugrana_ball/status/1693332417266737615? NOTE: I deleted the crap after the question mark and this new “X.com “ shit doesn’t want to embed.
  15. Don’t know what the “Spanish 15” were complaining about when they sent those identical resignation emails, but the 12 who didn’t return to the squad missed out on this! https://x.com/barcauniversal/status/1693331854395318607?
  16. Emi Fucking Martinez! Shutting down Everton threats! PS- Was disappointed that the English women’s keeper didn’t do this after winning the golden glove today.
  17. Same. I didn’t see Coco, but Iga’s become more and more mentally unstable since the end of the French Open. She looks on the verge of tears and a tantrum in almost any match against a top 20 player. Her game has regularly just fallen apart even though she is the superior player. She just starts sending shots flying all over the court and then pouting towards her box. I usually pull for her to lose these days. It’s difficult to pull for such a miserable human being.

    Totally spaced the messican canales!!! 🤬
  19. Adidas will turn it into a billboard all across Spain with the adidas clearly visible and the message printed below the photo. She is an adidas player (you can tell from her shoes) and they can’t do an ad campaign with her Barcelona kit (NIKE) for winning the Champions League. PS- “Mecha” & “Mechi” are nicknames for “Mercedes” in Argentina, so I am sure that “Merchi” is a nickname for Mercedes in Spain.
  20. This ref is awful. The knee for the yellow card shouldn’t have been a yellow. The injured girl should have left the field. The James girl for England got wiped out right outside the box. (No call) Hermoso got kicked hard on the edge of the English box. (No call) The “professional foul” taking down James in the midfield should have drawn a yellow.
  21. That keeper was in a full dive right before Hermoso even touched the ball. That was awful.
  22. Her English was so much clearer than many of the other refs in this tournament.
  23. That confused me, because their national team kit is adidas as well, no? It seemed like she thought that something would be visible on her shirt, but it wasn’t. Or maybe she had something written on a third shirt underneath. No sé.
  24. That hit that the Spanish girl put on the English girl in the first minute or two would have be a 15-yard personal foul in American football, but the ref didn’t even blow her whistle.
