Wife from across the room : “I think [our nanny] made pork or swordfish for the kids.”
Eljinca: “did she go to the store? I didn’t buy either yesterday.”
Wife: “I don’t know. It looks like she burned it.”
5 minutes later….
Wife: “Ohhh, it’s potato salad.”

Not my wife, but someone’s.
Driving on the highway yesterday with a minivan in front of me. Entered into a construction zone where the shoulder narrowed with concrete highway barriers directly after the right lane rumble strips. Road went to the left and the minivan… did not. Ripped the bumper off and front right tire exploded as she clipped the barrier. She straightened the minivan out and continues on. No harm no foul I guess.
She was still driving on the rim a mile down the road when I passed her.

I would rather wait until the summer and ask Zidane again. After that, I would be interested in Jogi Loew (Löw).
The hope for the 2026 World Cup is to promote the game to the non-fans.
The problem with Jose is that he can make the most talented teams in the world virtually unwatchable. I don’t think that he can get the team further than Zidane or Löw or a few other foreign managers, but he can turn people off of the game of soccer. He is adept at that.
His best attributes are:
1) Resume, 2) ability to speak English, 3) ability to create headlines
Going to enjoy revisiting these fever dreams when we hire Tab Ramos.

Good text received with no context yesterday:
"They emailed about going back in February"
6 texts later I finally got that her office has determined that they will now require 1 day per week in person work.

Produce his last 3 tax returns, fully audited financial statements and investment portfolios or stfu you fraud.

We’re going the first week in December. My wife will be at seminar for a couple days, so I can do whatever the f*** I want for a couple days. I’m pretty frugal, so the plan right now is to walk around, hit all the Smithsonians, and drink quite a bit.
I know it’s touristy, but I’m going to Jack Rose Saloon and the St Elmo’s bar.
Honestly, I need the following:
- Brunch spot after services at the National Cathedral. Needs to nearby.
- Nice dinner spot. Open to any of the European cuisines. I can get a good steak in my backyard.
- Hotel recs. I usually stay at one of the Marriotts in Arlington. I really don’t give a shit if it’s a Marriott or a Hilton with an underground tunnel to the Metro. If I can do better than Arlington price wise/location, lay it on me.
La Piquette is pretty good by the Cathedral. Never been for brunch but their lunch is good.

Two kids from McAllen opened a breakfast taco place in Mt. Pleasant, La Tejana.
Was pretty excellent today.

In my case, I would exactly know what she means. Because as a lifelong Texas Rangers fan, we have this conversation at least once every December
Her : Hey - did you see the Ranger's won?
Me (without looking up): That's hockey.
That’s good

Both the player and manager said this was not the case.

Look, as this is now a recap of the 2022 USMNT thread, this team achieved what anyone could reasonably expect -getting out of the group - and, if this core group continues to improve and grow, should be a springboard for making a deeper run in 26 as the hosts.
We do still now have the depth, talent or experience to compete with the soccer blue bloods (of which the Dutch are a part).
If we continue and can find a center forward and depth and quality in defense, we should expect a quarter final (or further) run at home.

But the MLS is not going to get talent to the level that is going to be competitive at the international level. Canada is another great example of this too.
Agreed, Canada benefits tremendously as well.

To your larger point - we shouldn't be putting domestic guys on the roster for the sake of them playing in the US.
Granted, I'm not sure that was really our problem this go round.
This is nonsense. Two of those players are keepers. Two of them should never touch the pitch. Of the remaining two, one of them is 19, the other one wasn't fit.
(I should add that the more mls and ussf can do to increase mls club funding to academies the better. The bigger the pond we create, the bigger fish we’ll find.)

The MLS is a relevant league for mid-tier European clubs (and rarely big clubs) poaching cheaper young talent and for Central American clubs to build talent pools their domestic leagues can’t afford.
IMO, the MLS will never, and should never aspire, to compete with any of the big 4/5 European leagues.

If this is your opinion, it is entirely wrong. If you are just stating some public announcement of MLS’ strategic priorities, than fine.
A major issue holding back the USMNT is the commingling of MLS’s and US Soccer’s priorities. The USMNT is not helped by keeping talent in mls or paying oversized salaries to talent that should be challenged in better leagues. Barring teenagers who are being showcased before they can move to europe, it’s a great fall back and oversized paydays for has-beens or never-hads from a USMNT perspective.
It should be no surprise that 9 players on the roster (and 5 starters today) have never had any affiliation with MLS. Everyone else barring Ream, Zimmerman and Turner left the moment they turned 18 (Adams, Aaronson, McKinney, Wright, Scally, even Shaq Moore).

Greg is what he is and should be thanked and not renewed. We need a far better tactical approach than he can provide.
The only usmnt players that should come back to mls are those who can’t hack it for their Euro club and want a payday. Any who do should then be removed from serious consideration in the player pool.
Ream will have retired and Haji Wright will be 30, but everyone else on the roster who matters will be in their prime in 25/26. Our standard should be a top 4 euro league starting xi player.

Greg is what he is - a mid tier mls coach. He got totally depantsed in tactics and team selection today. 1-11, the Dutch are better than we are, and Van Gaal closed the door on any real opportunity for the win. Happy to provide us with possession and dare us to be technical and tactical enough to break them down and finish. We have maybe 7-8 players capable of that level of play, and two started on the bench. Really love seen Jordan Morris coming in as our offensive punch in the 80th minute! Bull in a china shop, right?
We met expectations in this tournament, but did not exceed them. He should be lauded for transitioning the playing pool from the aged 2014-ers to a lot of young talent and winning some national team recruiting battles for Musuh and Pepi. Musuh is definitely a huge piece going forward. Greg should get a hearty “thanks” and we should look for a stronger manager going into the 2026 cycle.
