  1. Group G looking real salty too.
  2. And there's your group of death. Fuck Mexico!
  3. Are they trying to fill up the entire 200+ days until this thing kicks off? Let's draw!
  4. Oh Danny Ric, never change.
  5. To me, a group of death comes down to Pot 3 and 4. As long as Senegal does not end up with Qatar, they will be a group of death. Same with Canada and Poland. Ultra group of death would be Senegal/Poland + Canada + not Qatar. Basically, a scenario in which you have 3 or 4 teams that are strong contenders to emerge from the group. Pot 2 is fairly inconsequential in my view as far as group of death goes - no matter what, you will have a pot 2 member that is a tough out. Pot 1 only matters because of Qatar.

    USMNT 2022

    This team is led by a group of players that everyone seems to look to and gravitate towards - Pulisic, Adams, McKennie, Gio, Weah. I think that's a way better scenario than just having one guy be THE guy. And if we had to pick just one, it's Tyler Adams as mentioned above. Compare this to the last WCQ cycle - Clint Dempsey was wearing the armband. I love me some Clint, but I would never pick him out as someone that the team gravitated towards. And beyond Clint, it was a wasteland. This team is totally different in that regard. Now if we could just get Tim Howard to unretire.

    USMNT 2022

    By the time this WC finally kicks off, the memory of this game will be long gone. Mixed emotions today but come this fall, all that matter is we qualified. Get back to your club, kick ass, stay fit. See you in Qatar.

    Kate really makes halftime an enjoyable experience.

    That's world's better. The youth are stupid anyways.

    Why are they in a rush to draw anyways? It's not like this is a summer WC. They can wait until Ukraine's chances are sorted out and still give way more time than normal between the draw and day 1 of the WC. Fucking Qatar....

    USMNT 2022

    Unless Canada is with Qatar, whatever group they're in is going to be brutal. Every single game will be competitive. Probably will be the best neutral fan group to watch.
  13. Ah yes, you're right. Getting my 5 star guards confused.
  14. Morris was hailed as the best fit for Beard's system at the guard position (more so than George) exactly because of his rounded skill set, including elite level D. I wouldn't start passing judgement on the kid based on an all star game.
  15. Anyone that pays more for that marketing BS stunt than an actual moon watch should be forced to enlist as a conscript in the Russian "army". I'm all for getting more people into this hobby but not at the expense of the moon watch.

    .... I'm very confused.
  17. Checo deserves the #1 seat somewhere. He's likeable, not a bitch, and has serious racing skills. If he wasn't with RBR and relegated to being a prop for Max and Horner, he'd probably be near my favorite. I'm pretty vain though - I like Sainz because he loves golf. 🤷‍♂️

    USMNT 2022

    Anyone else on the CP10 is no longer the man, not the key figure of the USMNT, he shouldn't start bus? Anyone? Good. Fuck, what a performance by the whole team. Even nipple (wow!).
  19. If I were the snoopy on the moon watch, I'd go hide under the escapement. Why are they diluting one of the greatest watches of all time? A couple special editions are fine especially when they hold true to the primary origins of the watch but this.... Ugh. It doesn't need to be accessible to everyone, it's a fucking moon watch! Shoot for the moon and all that.... Which apparently just requires a couple Benjamins and waiting in line.
  20. Was in Paris last week and went into the Tudor store on the Champs-Élysées and walked out with this baby 😉 Edit: I cannot lie. That watch pictured didn't even have a real movement, for display purposes only. The wait list was so long they wouldn't even let me put my name on the list. But the Paris part was factual. C'est la vie.
  21. What I would give to be a fly on the wall of that driver's meeting. I'm sure Max and Lewis were not on the same side of this issue and neither are the type to take a back seat (they're F1 drivers, duh).
