If you're expecting the timeline of this show to perfectly match up to the thousands of years that passed during this time in Tolkien's lore, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment for no reason. They are condensing key events that happened over thousands of years into a time period that makes more sense for a TV show.

? Card wasn't clearly hobbled until the third quarter. Maybe he got hurt earlier, but the ankle wasn't a real factor until later.
You're right. Looks like I was mixing up the scramble where he got hurt with the "high stepping" scramble earlier.

I just have respect for the guy that gutted out a game on one leg for us. He was playing well enough to win, probably by at least 7, before he got hurt. If you can't see that, you're completely biased by last season (and he sucked so much ass last season).
This whole thread is dumb (obviously) but what is the "he was playing well before he got hurt!" narrative you're trying to push? He handed the ball off four times and then came up limping after the first called pass play when he bailed on the play at the first indication of pressure and ran up the middle.

Sargent has always been good at everything but actually scoring at the national team level. If he starts scoring regularly, he's a perfect fit for everything we're looking for in a 9.

That dude really loved donkeys. The story he told about the pregnant donkey with the big fat ass. lulz and his discussion about street donkeys.
When he said "sometimes you think about a girl, but sometimes, you're just there thinking about the donkey you're fucking" I lost it

Eason has the ugliest shot I have ever seen. Uh… what position does he project to? He should be fined every time he jacks up a 3.
Shawn Marion is the guy who has always popped into my head as a player comparison for Eason but maybe it's just them being the same size with ugly shots.

The next meaningful game he plays in will be his first.
He did play almost 30 minutes a game during a 7 game playoff series in his rookie year, but $85 mil sure seems like a lot for the type of player he is.

Yeah, Charlotte is going to take Williams at 15. I think with Smith, Eason is no longer the pick.
What does Jabari instead of Paolo change? You can't ever have enough big switchable wings.

Eason at 17 and then taking a shot on a guy like Koloko at 26 and this is a perfect draft from the Rockets for me.

the thing is that they can tank next year just by committing to only playing the young nucleus. a bunch of rookies and second year guys aren't going to win much but can get minutes and develop. the prudent play is to commit to the young guys next season in preparation for next offseason when there will be cap room available.
And what player (that you actually want to sign to a large contract) is going to come play for a 25 win team that only consists on 1st and 2nd year players?

Why? Hypothetically, if he can demonstrate to ad-buyers that previously only 10% of the clicks they were buying came from actual people, shouldn't he be able to charge 10x per click after getting rid of the bots?
100% this. It will just make ads relatively more expensive compared to what they were before which is fine because they also will be generating more real value.

8 hours ago, ztejas said:That's not how it works (did you look at the lineup I posted?). Granted I should have put someone like Miles up there instead of Yedlin because Yedlin is too little - I came up with it in a hurry. The wing back spots you can play either wingers or FBs. Which is what Chelsea does. Yes you may have to play an extra CD or a bigger FB but you can play someone like Aaronson or Morris or Weah or Arriola at the wing instead of a FB.
Let me rephrase: putting Reyna at the top is a waste. You have the right idea with your former comment here.
The lineup you posted (for the US) is some FIFA shit. The Chelsea lineups you posted are all using three CBs. They aren't going one CB with two outside backs next to them and then just wingers ahead. A realistic lineup for the US in a similar vein would have Miles Robinson, Zimmerman, and Richards as the three CBs with Antonee Robinson and Dest as the wing backs. Essentially compared to my lineup, you're pulling Musah for an extra CB.
Reyna at the false 9 absolutely would not be a waste. Viewing any formation as completely static and "well, you said he's the 9 so he's stuck up top" is a misunderstanding. There is zero reason why Reyna wouldn't be able to drop deeper in that role. It might not work but I'd at least like to see it before giving up on it.

I don't think 3/5 at the back is the answer for the US. We have struggled scoring and when everyone is healthy (if that ever happens) already have trouble finding minutes for all of the attacking players we want on the field. 3/5 in the back pulls another one of those attackers for an extra central defender.
4-2-3-1 could be a great fit for our player pool as a slight change up to the 4-3-3. It would really play out very similarly to what we already have but would add a true 10 role for Reyna instead of just a free role on the wing.
I still want to see Reyna as a false 9 in the 4-3-3. That gets the most talent on the field for us and Pulisic/Reyna/Weah have a lot of ability to switch across the front line.

This absolutely could be a golden generation, but the thought that our current roster is our golden generation in their prime is just wild. Our best players are all in the 19-23 range.

The best comp I've seen for Jabari is a better three point shooting Rashard Lewis, which would be a very useful player, but also profiles to be probably the 3rd or 4th best player on a contender, depending on whether or not you have a superstar. So while arguably that's not what you're looking for at the very top of the draft, it's also a pretty high floor for that pick
We should be hoping to get a long 3&D wing with the Brooklyn pick, but with Sochan probably gone by then, you're probably hoping that Eason is there, otherwise you might be rolling the dice on Kendall Brown
Three point shooting was kinda Rashard Lewis's thing, do you mean a better defensive Rashard Lewis?

Lol at giving the armband to Adams who was also being subbed at the same time and had to give it away as well

If your first thought about the US being up 3-0 to all but clench qualification is "I'm going to get annoyed that the coach thinks he got the lineup right", yeah, you're wrong.

Too bad Hoppe (who has played like 60 minutes in the last 6 months) or Konrad (got hurt at the start of the year and hasn't played at all since) wasn't here to play instead...

We're not sold on a coach that is now 3-0-3 against Mexico; with 4 of the games being legitimate "important" games.
Our last six games against Mexico are 3 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses.

If we tie Panama, they can't pass us. If we tie Costa Rica, they realistically can't pass us on goal differential. That should mean we are guaranteed to at least be fourth and make the playoff with one more point.

I love that people have started complaining about Tim Ream not getting called in when people have bitched about literally every time he has been called in.
