    Great updated video that includes DIRTY Sanchez (GK) trying to take a swipe at a celebrating USMNT player. 

    So fucking Mexicant.

     

    For some readers my fingers typed “diety” instead of “dirty”. How did that not autocorrect?

    Anyway… FIXED.

    Yeah - was watching on TUDN in Spanish, but just signed up for the trial, logged in via the CBS Sports app on my Roku and watching now.  Stupid.

     

    I recorded the Univision feed… but it turns out that it didn’t record. 

    Pinche puto DirecTV Stream!

    Is that how it is in Argentina too or are they constantly talking shit?

    There were 4 sports channels when I lived there and each channel had round table shows discussing soccer.
     

    It’s everywhere, so you could point out the failings of managers and still work. 

    I think that even Diego was getting criticized for stinking up the place during qualifying for 2010, especially after Argentina lost 6-1 to Bolivia (or 6-0) due to Diego’s plan of flying to altitude the day before the game and then pressing all over the field. (La Paz, Bolivia is over 2 miles above sea level.)

    And when Diego & friends finally secured qualification (in a downpour on a marginally offsides goal before the days of VAR), Diego repeatedly barked to reporters in the hall outside of the locker room:

    ”Who’s going to suck me next?”

    In English we would say “Blow me” or “suck my dick”. 

    A national hero on the pitch and a national embarrassment off of it. You could take Diego out of the ghetto, but you couldn’t take the ghetto out of Diego.

    But Diego was chosen as the manager after the previous manager had been fired during qualifying. In Argentina, it wasn’t unheard of for a manager not to make the it through qualifying, but the federation tried to choose wisely so that they didn’t have to make a change, but the press didn’t refrain from criticizing the manager if the guy sucked ass. 

    Diego Maradona & Lionel Scaloni are the only two managers I know of who had less of a managing resume than Gregg, but one was a legend and the other was an assistant coach that filled in on a temporary basis and proved to be amazing.

    Busio has been on the scene for about 8 years. 

    …and he’s still Olympic eligible. 

    Hope Tessmann (sp?) is on the team as well.

    1.3 million views so far of the aggy milkman doing his thing. Got to give it to LSU fans. They have exposed aggy idiocy and mocked them mercilessly online.

    Speaking of The SEC, where “[They] Have Nothing Else.” (a.k.a. “It means more.”)

    My brother went to Yale and showed up to see that Yale was leading in the last minute over Auburn.

    After laughing at the score, he turned and asked:

    ”What conference is Auburn in?”

    …because he honestly had no idea.  😂

  7. I think that Herc Gomez is on the outs with US Soccer, but ESPN loves that he has experience playing in Mexico 🇲🇽 & the USA 🇺🇸, plus USMNT experience at a World Cup. 

    No one else feels comfortable speaking the truth, because if they do then they won’t be selected to call USMNT games or be part of the studio team. For people who have almost no other bankable skills but to talk about soccer, that is a huge deterrent to speaking the truth. 

    It isn’t like all of these former players think that Berhalter is great. They know that he’s shit, but he is friends with the powers that be and US Soccer feels comfortable with him. 

    I really wish that there hadn’t been an own goal at the buzzer.

    With Chris Beards players

    😂

    Aßmas is one of Beard’s players?

    Weaver is one of Beard’s player?

    Shedrick is one of Beard’s player?

    Horton is one of Beard’s player?

    Cunningham is one of Beard’s player?

    Did you eat a shit-for-brains breakfast sandwich this morning?

    What in the hell are you even talking about?

    Gotta admit--in the waning seconds of the match, just before the accidental equalizer, I found myself resigned to a loss but hoping for a silver lining, i.e., this embarrassing result would finally motivate USSF to dump Gergg and get a real coach.

    So when the tying goal found the back of the net in bonus stoppage time, I was simultaneously elated and disappointed.

    I didn’t watch, but I would have loved a loss. 

    Jamaica with their scrub team beating our best 23 man roster in years…

    That would have been glorious for those of us who hate Gregg & US Soccer’s bullshit.

    Who might be the most overrated 2024 NFL Draft prospects??

    I believe Dallas Turner (Bama DE) drafted in the 1st Rd is a mistake.

    Found this article that discusses possible offensive busts in 2024 NFL Draft

     

    article hot take:

    Christian Williams: Michael Penix Jr. is the most overrated player on this list, not because of talent but because of injury and age concerns that could limit draft capital upside. Penix is a great deep ball thrower operating a well-designed offense, but the injuries he's experienced show up on film (his movement skills are much worse now than when he was afreshman). He's also an older prospect. Penix looks like a second-round pick, at best,giving him a lot less value than some are speculating.


    🙄

    Agreed! You do NOT want a QB with tons of starting experience who throws beautiful deep balls and has learned to bide his time in the pocket while avoiding pressure before launching pinpoint passes who will be on a 5 year rookie contract.

    You want a younger guy with limited starts and inferior production.

    My only other Charlotte airport story.  Was flying to DC for work.  Pilot announces instead of DC, due to a plane issue-we are beginning descent for Charlotte and will be put on another plane to continue on to DC (scares the shit outta me obviously).  Obviously you can tell by the attire, I was rolling with a fancy crew.  So they didn't even have a gate or jetway for us.  Woman in blue sweatpants, if you can see her right hand.  We're waiting around for them to open up some doors so we can get up into the terminal and we grab our bags off the ramp luggage conveyor  deal by hand.  Down the way, you can see that jet fuel truck.  Well the guy fumbles with it and it actually starts leaking fuel (puncture or something, I can't remember this is like 10 years ago).  You could smell that shit like a ton of bricks in your nostrils.  So what does this broad do?  Lights up a fucking Marlboro Light 100.  I was alway worry about air travel, but  I never stopped to think I might die on the tarmac because she thought she was playing the slot machines in Reno.  I was never so thankful to be inside an airport in my life as when the co-pilot smacked the cig out of her hand and let us inside.

    Graham Mertz and DJ Ukelele are awful lol.

    Quinn needs to work on 1) deep pass accuracy and 2) arm angle so his passes don't get batted down so easily. If he can fix that, he's easily somewhere between 1-3 on that list.

    3) Pocket Awareness/ Extending plays while going through his progressions.

    I think that #3 is what is holding Quinn down the most.

    If Quinn had declared for the draft this year, he would’ve been a 3rd to 5th round pick that a team would have planned to sit two years before seeing what they had. 

    Quinn’s pocket awareness/ speed of goin through his progressions/ inability to extend plays are what would get him killed in the NFL right now.

    The NFL rules that outlaw Dallas Turner-type plays would be his only hope of staying off the IR.

    PS- Quinn is likely going to make more money this year via NIL than he would being drafted in the middle rounds, and he gets to continue to develop under a (former) NFL OC.
