  1. Tactical Manager talked about it the other day We come out in a 4-2-3-1 But when we have the ball, we attack
  2. Dude should be hit with a ban. The FA just needs to be consistent with their punishment. Bernardo Silva tweeted something racist - 1 game Enzo Fernandez was on the Argentina bus after the Copa win over the summer vidNeo posted of their racist and homophobic chant - no suspension at all from the FA (or FIFA) My question to this is how is this 7 games and those were 1 game COMBINED?
  3. "lost their passports"? How does that happen for these guys? England was able to clean shit up. Expect more, police better and take down the fences. They have given up in a lot of these places and don't even try.
  4. Nothing says Department of Government Efficiency like having Vivek and Musk both running it. I bet the transactional relationship with his kids really fostered a great home life.
  5. 1 to 2 more years? Dude, this is going to be going on for a while.
  6. I’m not sure why other federations just do not get this. If you treat the fans like animals and stick them behind cages, don’t be shocked when they act like animals.
  7. This is mine. The family is having a debate of which of my sisters (6 and 11 years older than me) took 6 year old Captain Ron to see this in the theater.
  8. When Stephen King thinks you’re too dark …
  9. Their concern is only how can they fleece the government for more money. They want to cut spending only to direct that money to them.
  10. you can look it up - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_men's_national_soccer_team_results My gut says no, because I have 2 away wins for 2021 below. But I could be wrong. The biggest issue is that in the GGG era mainly, we prioritized home games over getting better, so our schedule looks a lot like this: 22 games, 7 not on US Soil and only 4 of those were competitive games.
  11. HEY JAMAICA, you play soccer on a worse field than ours!!!
  12. I think it's how low the stands are and how that angle makes the field look - because this is a full size 105 x 68 field. Add in how wide the sides are (track + the velodrome).
  13. That's an insult to concrete underpasses and drainage ditches. You know this is what leads to this: When we played soft GGG ball, the MO for teams was to beat the shit out of our players, especially CP10, because we weren't going to stand up for our players. In this confederation you can't do that. You need some Marty McSorley types out there willing to throw down. Poch wants more of this
  14. Otra
  15. What a miss! That should have tied it.
  16. We need to be careful. There is no reason we should be baited into anything here.
  17. Turner makes up!!
  18. So I was kind of curious about this, so I looked it up: US has 20 wins, 3 losses and 10 draws overall. Weirdest thing is that we've only played them in matches since 1988. Of those 33 matches, only 10 are in Jamaica. US record: 3 wins, 1 loss, 6 draws. Not great, but not awful. Those results by year: 1988 D 1994 W 1997 D 1999 D 2001 D 2003 W 2004 D 2012 L 2013 W 2021 D
  19. Fuckin' A this. I mean I get it's London, but he wasn't appreciated his first stint in the EPL, wby would he want to go back?
  20. This is the first game we will get to see how Poch is changing the culture of the USMNT. This type of game was one where GGG would play it safe and generally it would cost us big time. This is the proper take - this team is too damn talented to play it safe. Against most of CONCACAF, it should always be attack attack attack. And we should win the bulk of these games.
  21. I'm shocked. No one could have predicted this. I won't deny that the loser grifters survive his orbit because they can. But there is also a second type that survive - the really fucking smart grifters. The ones that get they don't need the limelight, just the power. Thiel, Stephen Miller, etc. These guys know how to get what they want, but leave all the spotlight on DJT. Hell, they know how to play to his ego. I was listening to an interview with Anthony Scaramucci yesterday. First off the guy is incredibly smart and well read. But he had a great observation of Donald Trump, he has his personal carousel, people get in his orbit, he uses them for all he needs and when they go by, he plunges the knife into their back and moves onto the next guy. If you take attention from Trump, then he throws you into the wood chipper. The smart guys stay off the carousel, the dumb guys jump right on.
  22. I didn't realize that Argentina players were let out by the FA and not even charged. So Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea) wasn't even punished by the FA for their homophobic chant on the bus.
