  1. Shaq sucks. He shouldn't be on the team but somehow he's playing very meaningful minutes over a 90m per game Bundesliga RB.
  2. They hate us, English, and love CCV. I'm good with all of that.
  3. Reminder of where we came from. From the man himself. CP10 knew. Let's fucking go!
  4. It might be cliche but club career says CP10 is #1. He doesn't have the WC resume yet, but give him time. It's kind of crazy, but going through the exercise in my head, a lot of the top 10 is on the roster today. Trajectory of soccer in the US is on such a steep climb at the moment.
  5. He's up there. He needs to be a better passer to get into the "best ever" conversation. But with McKennie and Musah next to him, he's exactly what we need.
  6. Looking forward, I'm not that worried about Van Dijykt and De Ligt. We created chances against Stones and Maguire. And I think the English FBs are way better than the Dutch FBs and Rice/Bellingham are at least on par with if not better than De Jong/Blind. And finally.... The English attack is a different level than the Dutch. We've already proven we can compete at a higher level than the English. The Dutch are not better. Now go sink their battleship.
  7. Making the round of 16 is 100% about the players and 0% about GGG. That fuck just lucked into job security for at least a year because his players' give-a-fuck is higher than his incompetence.
  8. I get far more joy in having a team that dominates at home than taking two kids that just want to get stupid drunk on candy and sugary drinks.
  9. More like 1940s canned spam.
  10. At this point, just keep showing progression. We've seen UT basketball peak early and then collapse and that's no fun. This style of basketball - high tempo, push the ball, guard heavy - feels like something that can't be as easily countered like previous Texas teams that did great in pre-conf play so I have hope we can keep the momentum going. We're going to run into a cold shooting night and lose a head scratcher but rather than that being the start of a trend like in years past, with this team it feels like it would just be a blip.
  11. I'll take one for Team Old. I definitely don't - what does it mean? Edit: too late, typical old here.
  12. I didn't realize Hamilton was 38+ and that he's 2nd oldest on the grid by nearly 3 years. Damn he's been around a while.
  13. Beat Iran and we advance. That's about as good as any reasonable USMNT fan could have hoped for going into the World Cup and here we are. Let's goooooo!

    I love CP10 but Tyler Adams is the real Captain America.
  15. Backstory is English fans are dicks.
  16. We were the better team today. We deserved 3 points. Going into this I was hoping for a 1 goal diff loss. So ya, I'm still pretty fucking excited. This was a good sports day. Almond dinner jacket is next. U - S - A!

    At this point, just put CP, Reyna, and Weah up front and let them free flow and play off each other. We don't use a 9 very well and we don't have a good 9 anyways. Just put our 3 best attacking options up front, let them be creative, and get out of their way.
  18. We need a hold up guy - that's how our goal started, Sargent did a good enough job of holding up the ball, allowing CP to make his run and pick it up. Reyna, CP, and Weah would have been bullied out of the way at the onset if they were in Sargent's shoes. Though maybe we are good enough to play through the lines and not try long balls that require hold up play - I don't know, GGG hasn't tried it out yet.
  19. Why not? Also, I don't "have" anyone doing anything, I'm just playing out scenarios.
  20. 9-3-3-3 and then GD. Which is essentially the same currently but you're hoping Argentina loses another game now. There are probably other variations out there but I have 0 interest in thinking through them all.
  21. I think Argentina is a shit ton better than what they showed this morning. In a scenario where I need a win (which the loser today absolutely does) I would rather play an Argentina that is through or only needing a draw than an Argentina needing a win.
  22. I think it kills you because you're getting a fully focused Argentina that will have 0 interest in squad rotation and probably have an eye on racking up goal diff.
  23. The loser, if there is one, would be turbo fucked needing a win against a pissed of Argentina.
