    WHAT?? WHAT!? my point was that italian teams might not flow their offense through the wings like i've seen CP play in both the US and in London (when playing i guess). Its just taking some getting used to watching CP in that style of play. But lemme go look at a map first. 🙄

    Pulisic cookin tonight. I know its the italian league, but has he lost a step or three? he looks so slow in this attack, but i'm not used to watching serie A, maybe its the style?

    unbelievable moment. that was very very fuckin cool to watch happen live
  5. I’d like to see Rodman get more involved on the wing. Vietnam is just absolutely clogging the center of the pitch

    2 assists for Pulisic today vs a 3rd tier squad but still also,
  7. FYI, game is on ESPN? i dunno hard to fuckin tell based on the directv guide, but ESPN+ for sure.
  8. I've only read the first page and i don't have the stomach to keep reading to its likely demise by the 4th page, but I just wanted to say that I'm so happy that I share an online community with people who feel this way. I've worked with intellectually disabled children and adults for 22 years and its a shit paying job and sometimes thankless, but apart from the communicative development of between kids and their families is the realization of many in the general community that the r-word is so old fashioned and generally disgusting. I was generally ok with the word being unintentionally amended and surly-memed to "regarded" but now I'm seeing the old word pop up much more and even varied to "autistic". Really? I spoke up once about it, then was summarily shamed for showing consternation about it. Its surly, so ok, whatever. I think Orale summed it up perfectly, quoted above: "I feel protective of those in society who are vulnerable. When I hear someone use cruel language that has historically been used to oppress and demean a vulnerable group, I'm not going to get in their face (assuming they're not actually using it towards someone in that group directly), but I sure as hell will think that person is a piece of shit and think much less of their character."
  9. if its at all related to Campbell, then OLF is definitely getting first hand info. They're very, very close to the Campbell family.

    the way zardes deadened the ball into the ground was badass, the follow up was focused. Nice finish. I'll like Zardes for today. GYAAAAT DAMN!

    Miles Robinson would have been a first 11 guy in Qatar had he not gotten injured. I also have really started to appreciate Sands. He'll get first team callups for sure. Thats a CDM GERGG bonertime alert.

    I think cowell will be on the A team eventually. The amount of minutes he gets will be debatable. But he's destined for Europe. BV is an injury and time in Germany away from being a 2026 senior team guy. He's the GERGG prototype for striker. Big in the air, holding forward, type player. My opinion is that both will be on the senior team in 2027, but possibly earlier based on development. Cowell needs a technical stint in Europe. He has amazing pace and work rate, but needs more than that to be a winger, esp winning 1v1s

    hey i like JF on corners!

    USMNT 2023

    what i didn't say it was a problem, just that we cant squeeze both BV and JF on the pitch at the same time. Mihailovic should still be on the. pitch.

    ferrera looks horrible wide. i get its not his natural position, but this should put to rest JF at the 10 or in mid

  20. Look, we'll let you take him off our hands for a pair of Balenciagas

    Cowell is 19. Pulisic is 24. Theres not gonna be that much overlap between the two potentially. Puli has 5 years experience on Cowell, and while we did see flashes of the American GOAT when Puli was 19, we now know that Puli was already maxing out near his ceiling. Yeah, he's been able to maintain that level (i guess, nationally, at least), but what we do know is Cowell has not even remotely approached maxing out. This is a young, moldable player who isn't technical in the least, but quick, strong, and shoots like a grown ass man. I'm eager to see what Cowell looks like at 24. He could potentially be an A-teamer with his current trajectory. He needs a move to Eredivisie
