  1. I won’t put all of Qatar on Pulisic, I mean watching that team be so handcuffed by β€œthe coach” was absolutely frustrating and a big reason that team didn’t do more than it did. However you do lightly brush on a point about Pulisic’s play that I don’t see getting a lot of chatter here: with the USNT when he feels the team isn’t playing well, isn’t producing, he goes into this hero mode and starts trying to do it all alone. This type of takeover the game play works at clubs because your talent is so high and others will step up and jump on for the ride. The Men’s squad isn’t that talented. I’m not saying we have a massive drop off, but if Pulisic is a 9, it drops to a few 8s and then 7s and 6s very quickly. The team can’t match his level. And this play can breakdown our team game for stretches. Often the players start to ball watch. And again look I get it. He’s our most talented player. He wants to jump start the team. But a top talent leader knows how to do that and keep everyone going. Pulisic doesn’t seem to see/get that. Worse in a way, he becomes a ball stopper. He gets the ball and then is 100% β€œI must score on my own!!” To me, that’s his strike 3, when it’s to the detriment of the team (often). A leader either is keeping everyone involved (in his shoes) or telling him to do so (on or off the field). As far as who our captain is - I don’t care if they don’t speak a lick of English, if they have the command of the locker room. A. The casual fans don’t understand captaincy anyway and B. The die hards will totally get it C. This team needs real leadership and accountability! You take what you can get right now. What we have isn’t cutting it.

  3. Would you take 3 months of Ange and basically an EPL year of shit/waste to win Europa? And the answer for me is absolutely.
  4. Well Richie cares.
  5. Just saw the score
  6. Adams - captain who’s the assistant(s) - Ream if he’s getting selections. Beyond him?

  11. It is a national article. I would guess 98% of the readers never heard of it.
  12. Why an 18-year-old turned down her dream school, UT Austin, for 'a university that nobody has heard of' https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/04/16/why-this-teen-turned-down-the-university-of-texas-at-austin.html Spoiler alert we’ve all heard of it. But I gotta say her reasons are wrong. For her to argue she can’t find community at Texas is wrong. But it could also show a failing in terms of how we handle tours on campus too. granted that’s the difference between a 50k student body vs 3k.

  15. I’m in the middle of my season 1 rewatch. We’re on vacation down in St Kitts. I’m currently just before The Eye. This show is just so good. Real character development, great filming, interesting.
  16. Fan bois can eat shit. They are the reason why so much SW content is garbage.

  18. A Vermont Judge has ordered Ozturk be transfered from Louisiana to Vermont. News broke about 15-20 minutes ago. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/18/nation/trump-presidency-live-updates/?s_campaign=breakingnews:newsletter
  19. And I would add, the captain does not have to be the guy that is the best player on the team. He just has to be a guy that has the respect of the team.
  20. Here is my question: What does he do or has he done to show he should lead this team? Because I don't think he has done anything yet. I think he goes out there with his play and does it on the field. He lets that do the talking for him. And there is no question he is our best player. But in your captain, that isn't only what you want. You want someone that holds everyone accountable to the standard both on and off the field. And in that aspect, I'm not sure I've seen either of those from CP. He has moments of talking, but not really leading, I haven't seen it.
  21. They would say their captain and vice-captain are great. And neither are CP. And they will also say that Pulisic is one of their great players.
  22. This was my feeling too. I didn't want to name names, but he was going to be my pick. Pulisic has his moments, but he doesn't lead the team vocally. That was evident when he was calling for Berhalter to be back.
