  1. 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.
  2. Why not? Also, I don't "have" anyone doing anything, I'm just playing out scenarios.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. The loser, if there is one, would be turbo fucked needing a win against a pissed of Argentina.
  7. She's always been attractive, IMO. Just most of the time you see her on a pitch, covered in dirt, mud, and sweat and now you see her dolled up with made for TV makeup.

    Adams was shit going forward because he was too busy ensuring Wales couldn't counter in the first half and then snuffing out attack after attack in the 2nd. Which is exactly what we need him to do. If Adams doesn't see the attacking third all game, I don't think I care. That's not his job for this team. Musah, McKennie, Aaronson, and Reyna (fuck you GGG) - that's their job to be the MF link to the wings and forward, not Adams.
  9. We'd be hoping for a Wales loss first and secondly a draw while trying to gain the goal diff advantage. But Wales won't lose if England are already through. In that scenario, England vs Wales would be for 1st in the group (6 to 4 on points). I don't think England would settle for 2nd in that scenario.
  10. For all moaning about CP taking set pieces, who else should do it? No one in that starting 11 takes set pieces for club. No. One. Yes, CP sucks at set pieces but unfortunately, he's probably our best option until Reyna, Aaronson, or Acosta come on. Why he continues to take them after Aaronson and Acosta subbed on, I present you one GGG and his infinite wisdom. Most likely.... We lose to England, Wales beats Iran and loses to England. Then we just have to go out and curb stomp Iran and hope our goal diff is good enough. Not dead yet.
  11. Wales wins the national anthem battle. Last thing they win today.
  12. Quick highlight vid. This kid is a stud.
  13. McKennie over Aaronson (if that's even the consideration) is my only gripe - pretty minor all things considered though I am bummed not to see Aaronson and his endless energy play 45+. About as good as we can hope for. Let's fucking goooooooooo!

    Which is also ridiculous. Three, maybe. Two is absurd. Hasn't it been 3 in the past and then they reset for the playoff?

    They all abandoned the One Love armband, choosing to abide by FIFA's rule. 🙄

    With what happened in Colorado Springs, take the fucking yellow and wear the rainbow captain's armband. Sounds like Kane will wear the "One Love" armband and take the yellow as well for England. Not sure the Welsh plan. Definitely know the Iran plan. Regardless, fuck Qatar.

    Aaronson is a must start. Anything less and someone give Beerhalter a beer so he gets thrown in prison. Sargent CP Aaronson Weah/Reyna A and M (take your pick of M) Robinson Ream Z RB Anything that fits that and I'm full "let's fucking go" mode.

    That makes a lot more sense.
  19. Maybe I'm just spoiled by last year but it felt like a lot of boring racing this season (this one too). Start of the season was good but then it got real boring... Red Bull way out front and Ferrari and Merc never being strong at the same time. The trajectories towards the end of the season give me hope for next year though.

    It happened before this touch - supposedly in the first touch in the box. Fox "showed" the tech replay and then quickly moved on. GK and one other player definitely looked to be keeping him on but Fox wouldn't show a decent look.
  21. Bijan has an excuse, he has to support his giant balls.
  22. VY didn't. What's your point?

    I do wish Italy made it, they're fun to watch.
  24. Quinn is a feel player, he's not technical. When feel players get off, they get way off and need time to get it back - they have to understand what went awry, rep it away, burn the new feel into muscle memory, and then they're back to good. That's a time consuming process that a football season isn't going to allow for. He needs the offseason to figure this out. I'm not ready to write him off long term but I'm not expecting anything for the rest of this season.
