  1. Here’s an interesting scenario. Say Honduras and Canada finish off group B tomorrow. And then we upset Mexico to win group A, do Canada and Honduras fight to lose their game and not play Mexico as their group winner?

    I'm sure everyone on this thread is fully aware, but the question becomes should Kreis try to win against Mexico or rest key players in favor of a must win semifinal to secure the Olympic berth? My brain believes the latter and my heart says 'why not both?'

    Rest key players.

    A. Getting to the Olympics is the goal, blowing that to beat Mexico would be galactically stupid
    B. If you make the Olympics, you should get another shot at Mexico in the final

    I didn't watch group B games, what are the odds Canada and Honduras wrap things up tomorrow?

    Cherries 0-3 Southampton...on to the FA Cup semis

    that was quite fun. the most enjoyable matched I have watched all season.
     

    Now I see why some supporters wouldn’t be so upset if we got relegated to the Championship. 
     

    the PL can be a beating. 

    I was told that Cap’n Jack was going to score all the goals. I guess not.

    Everton has looked awful for about three weeks now. Very little optimism about playing the best club in the world today but maybe they’ll be tired from champions league and disinterested or something. 

    +875 for an Everton win so I went ahead and took a flyer on that because who knows...every once in a while when Everton looks like they’re at rock bottom, they pull some crazy win out of their ass. 

     

    Aww man, you almost made it. 84 minutes and then, Womp womp.

    Who would we think would be a reasonably able to get replacement?

    Idk much about managers other than the obvious big names. What about Klinnsman? I only know him from his time with the USMNT, but he's got a relationship with the club and has got experience. Thoughts on his style on the non international level?

    He's a flat no. His stint at Bayern showed that he is not a club coach. He failed at Bayern because he had to deal with day to day strategy, training, etc. That's not his thing. He is a perfect xNT coach because he doesn't need to do that day in day out. Just for a few weeks at a time and then when tournaments roll around.

  5. I was coming to post the same thing

    He isn’t banging on Jose, he’s hitting on other players.  Not to say Jose is absolved of any failures, but this is kind of telling. Especially the game plan part.

    It sounds like the players need a Come to Jesus moment. Maybe this was it?
