  1. honduran ref gets a call to rescind a 2nd panamanian yellow resulting from tri simulation totally just totally outside the rules and against tri 2 anti-tri never-thought-i'd-see in 1 concacaffy game
  2. tri yellows shit will be flying out of the stands soon
  3. somone call norad for reports of the sky falling worldwide.... tri have had a goal pulled off the board in concacaf
  4. Confronted at BNA twice last month derpyvol: "you're not the real UT" admiral "no, aggy calls us TU" derpyvol: cognitive dissonance crushes them in their tracks, facial expression frozen give them 2 seconds to reply (they won't/can't, they have no idea what to say) admiral: "look, you're going to have to work it out with them, we're off that day, hopefully we'll get you in '25" give the vol another 2 seconds to reply, then shrug and move on (narrator: they are literally frozen in their tracks from this, they don't move) it's literally the best accidental jedi mind-fuck i've ever seen
  5. the thing is, the ESiPN BOMC calls us UT and calls them Tennessee or 'The Vols' the national media doesn't call them UT only they call themselves UT it's not even a thing they could go full aggy w/ billboards and shit and we'd still be like 'wut?'
  6. tri will declare themselves enchubbened with a win tonight, or fire the new coach if they lose (narrator: they're not going to lose; stan kroenke would prefer to avoid major damage to his palace)

  8. "aggy should be leading higher education towards a culture of merit, individual inclusion and a unity of spirit and away from the morass of identity politics known on our campuses as DEI" nothing they do has any influence on higher education beyond their own campuses, but if you wanted to emulate aggy, i have 2 questions about this statement what is "individual inclusion"? how do you create a culture of "individual conclusion"? what does a "unity of spirit" mean? what does it do? are these actual things or just made-up bullshit?

Played on both wings, but still found himself around the goalmouth. Unlucky to hit the post. 7. Auston Trusty: Not the most convincing of debuts from the American. Caught out of position a little too easily and sloppy on the ball on occasion. 5.
  10. https://www.textise.net/showText.aspx?strURL=https%3A//www.football.london/arsenal-fc/transfer-news/arsenal-folarin-balogun-transfer-demand-27318260%3Futm_source%3Dtaboola%26utm_medium%3Ddisplay%26utm_campaign%3Dexchange 'Special' - Arsenal fans send Folarin Balogun transfer demand after Nurnberg friendly Folarin Balogun enjoyed a successful loan spell with Reims last season but is now facing an uncertain future at Arsenal with a number of clubs interested in signing the Hale End graduate Arsenal fans have urged Mikel Arteta not to sell Folarin Balogun in the summer transfer window. The USMNT international came off the bench to feature in the Gunners' 1-1 draw against Nurnberg tonight. Balogun replaced Leandro Trossard in the 55th minute and originally started his cameo playing out on the wing. The Hale End graduate was then moved into a central role and missed two glorious opportunities to win the game for Arsenal. Balogun hit the post after being played in by Gabriel Jesus as he showed slight signs of rustiness on his return for the Gunners. The 22-year-old then rounded the goalkeeper in the final minutes of the game, but his shot hit the side-netting after he was put slightly off-balance. football.london understands that Arsenal are open to offers for the striker, but it seems Gunners fans want him to stay. Balogun is hoping to play regular first team football next season with an asking price of £50million set for him to leave the Emirates Stadium. The 22-year-old is currently third-choice in the pecking order at Arsenal, behind Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus. RB Leipzig, Inter Milan and other top clubs across Europe have all registered an interest in signing the USMNT international this summer, but whether they are prepared to meet his asking price is another matter. Following the 1-1 draw against Nurnberg, many Arsenal fans were urging Arteta to keep hold of Balogun at the club after his 35 minute display in Germany. One Gunners supporter tweeted: "Balogun is special." "Dull watchers will scream about the miss but sharp eyes will notice how easily he peeled away from the backline and how well he manufactures a clean shooting angle while remaining in control. Top player." Another fan said: "Balogun looked good though, missed chances aside." @kaluvincent added: "We should not sell Balogun." One Arsenal supporter referred back to Balogun's goal against Paris Saint-Germain last term after seeing his miss against Nurnberg. "The funny thing about that Balogun miss is that, he’s scoring that 9.5 times out of 10. He even scored a similar one against Donnarumma versus PSG," the fan said. Another fan added: "About that Balogun miss, I refuse to judge the outcome, the only thing he did wrong was the finish. He's a top player."
  11. https://www.textise.net/showText.aspx?strURL=https%3A//www.football.london/arsenal-fc/fixtures-results/arteta-arsenal-havertz-balogun-cameo-27318714 Balogunner? Folarin Balogun's last appearance in an Arsenal shirt had come in this exact same fixture in this exact same stadium at this exact same time last year. So much has changed since then, though. The 22-year-old has gone on to have a loan spell he probably could only dreamed of netting 22 goals for Stade de Reims. Rather fairly he now wants first choice football next season which has raised serious doubts over his Arsenal future. football.london understands the Gunners would be willing to part with him, but their asking price will be around £50million. In a second half cameo, there were glimpses why. Despite spending the whole of his appearance on the wing, Balogun was by far Arsenal's most threatening player in the second half. His ability to run in behind the Nurnberg defence alongside his close control proved a tricky combination to handle. On another day he would have come away with a goal. One occasion saw him hit the post, while another late on saw him round the goalkeeper only to fire into the side netting off balance. With this ability it's probably fair to question why exactly Arsenal are willing to potentially let him go. Arteta is normally not backwards about coming forwards when he wants a player to stay, but his non-committal answer when asked about Balogun post-match spoke volumes. "He’s just staying here with us at the moment and we will see what happens," the Spaniard told football.london in his post-match press conference. This is likely to be a saga that persists throughout preseason. Arsenal will feel that the cash they can generate from a potential Balogun sale can be reinvested into strengthening the squad even further. But if cameos like this continue they will surely have to question if what they lose by letting him go will be worth what they gain.
  12. i've been saying it since 2009 when i quit supporting the dallas mls franchise: mls is an exhibition for profit the hunts have redeemed themselves through their development investment but the league has to break in half for promo/rel before i'd be interested again

    everyone up in here should subscribe to eric berger's Rocket Report, he's a horn lots of important news in this week's edition https://link.arstechnica.com/view/5d892326fc942d478883f557j3hla.gdt/02d416f4 most critically, a chinese outfit made orbit with methane lots of other goodies
  14. sort of... we should have brought the U-20 squad on top of their mundial, and added vazquez, ferreira, mihailovic.... (narrator: cowell was on the u-20 squad so he's already in tow)
  15. DTF on U23 Olympics has 3 permitted (over 23) exemptions so you use those callups for an orocopa on speculative euros under 27ish that we don't know anything about, and there are plenty, e.g. Auston Trusty who should have been kept around for the orocopa, given his grand total of 11 regulation minutes in the nations league final. It seems he is going to make his actual gunners debut against Nurnberg in a friendly on Saturday. Fine. Get your shit together, US press and US fed, and be on top of this shit so we don't have to question why on loan he earned Birmingham's player of the year as a left back, but is not sticking around for the orocopa. 24 hours ago Ipswich came in for him too. But now he has a real shot at arteta's squad and everyone up in here will be watching goonerball this season if he makes it https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/fixtures-results/auston-trusty-arsenal-vs-nurnberg-27315480
  16. agree on everything except mihailovic; in the meaningful full-speed stretch against jamaica he showed he could deliver supply with the right 3 in front of him i really thought we had found the magic combo in those 20 minutes, and we all bitched for it in the next 3 games, and when we got it we couldn't use it due to the opponent out-coaching us we fell for the banana in the tailpipe would love to see mihailovic in a real game against an A-squad opponent that cares, to wit: ------------ folarin ------------ cp ------------------------weah start reyna, sub mihailovic on 45' give him 15 minutes with those 3 then we will know
  17. monday morning QB: the problem was we were outcoached panama went full sam in direct sun with the intent to play for kicks the right formation was out there at the beginning - but yesterday it should have been phased in from minute 60 to minute 75 so we could step on the gas yes we all would have bitched about not seeing ANY of the right front 4 starting but in hindsight it would have worked and that's why the pros get paid everyone saw what happened in the last 20 minutes against jamaica that should have been the starting lineup from that moment forward, with the exception of last night when it should have been phased in from 60 to 75
  18. we get what we deserve when we bring players that no other country would select for a full international tournament karma
