  1. Dear god. In our block of 14 seats 4 were used tonight. That was two teams mailing it in for the first 60 minutes. The last 30 people decided to play. 
     

    Does this mean we get them in first round guaranteed?

  2. Our kids attend one of the DL schools that will be closing. Assuming the admin from our school and teachers go to the merged school, most parents plan to follow.  
     

    I still think our family will be moving sooner rather than later. We may end up in an acceptable situation next year but the long term outlook is just terrible with the funding situation.  My mom always said a society that fails to prioritize its children will fail. I’m sad and frustrated my home is now one of them.

  3. Our neighborhood in the southwest is also getting fucked. If this goes down this way, I would expect the number of kids enrolled AISD to drop even below what was discussed above. I think we have to leave as the quality of our kids education will drop in a big way. I guess we will see what else they spring on us with transfers et al. 

  4. I’m not sure why we insist on playing 1 central striker in a variety of the 433. Our personnel would at least warrant giving a 442 a runout. Soccer coaches are worse than NFL about all doing the same shit though. 

  5. All the guys I share tickets with are out for next season. Guess I’ll just be selling a bunch of tickets when we can’t make it. 

  6. Neither of our center backs has any passing range. Asking them to hit a long diagonal is just not in their toolkit. 
     

    We also really miss when Dani can’t advance the ball with his feet. RSL was happy to let our dual 6 midfield have the ball because neither of those guys were able to get the ball into the attacking third with any consistency. Owen had some interplay with Bukari at times but frankly the movement from the front 3 sucks. No one knows what the plan is to create offense and it shows.

    It doesn’t deserve its own thread and since there are EPL teams in it guess it goes here…

    Am I the only one who didn’t realize the Club World Cup was in the US?  Maybe it’s because there are no matches in Texas. It also doesn’t help that it’s being broadcast by something called DAZN, which until 30 minutes ago I’ve never heard of.  
     

    Soccer selling their rights to 2nd or 8th rate companies is such an own goal.   AppleTV for MLS and USMNT with Fox and TNT have driven both into the shadows.   There is ZERO buzz for the real World Cup which is a year away.   It sucks, but the only way to get eyes and people talking about a sport is ESPN.   If they aren’t hosting they do the bare minimum to promote or talk about it. 

    You’re not the only one. That’s crazy that DAZN has the rights in the states. They’re popular enough in Europe, but I’ll have to Google what providers even carry them here.
