  3. I heard that was happening but i didn't believe it. That show is gonna be so kickass. A GORILLAZ stadium show ... and lil yachty!

  4. a distinct change in tactics from a back four to a back three with heavily advanced wingbacks who whip it into the box without a true target man at the #9. We have fuckin mid ass zardes out of position on 99.99% of those balls and can't create space (even a half step) to save his life. We have rigoni who spent 80% of this season as an inverted winger on the right side of the pitch and couldn't beat anyone into the box 1v1 on his weaker foot and thus failing to create any chances in the 18, and we've gone away from working from the back and through the middle of the pitch with a very strong double pivot with Ring and Periera and up to driussi who created all sort of creative, diagonal chances that broke lines.

    This is basically mack brown freaking out about not winning the NC vs Bama and changing all of his offensive philosophy to the power running game for no good reason and without having the proper personnel to do that on his roster. We don't have a suitable back three who can be left on islands like that. Injuries have definitely sucked, probably Zan being the worst for this type of system Wolff is trying to run, but also Driussi, Cascante, Fagu, and Wolff being on international duty. But also, we don't have any decent wingers who can be the least bit dangerous. Redes is fucking gash and Rigoni would get relegated to the second team bench by any other proper club. Also, back when Druissi WAS fit, he suddenly moved to a wider position than last year and limited his range to one side of the field when last year he absolutely dominated 2/3 of the pitch as a CAM. This year, Druissi is playing some sort of Iniesta-style holding midfielder who isn't being allowed to be creative. I don't know. The biggest change i guess is that wolff is an idiot and our new jersies are cursed.

    never seen a us side strike from outside the box like this

    3 of 3 goals from range

    interesting tournament run possibly setting up here

    its so nice to see us play through the middle instead of whipping everything in the the box from the wings. can't wait to rinse US soccer from berhalterball and his ilk

  6. Got pretty drunk friday night and decided I absolutely MUST go to The National's Homecoming, bought festival tix and a flight lol. Never been to cincinatti. I think i might end up there solo. They're not chucking solo brown guys into the river there too, right? RIGHT!?

    Anyone wanna join?

    Excited for The Walkmen reunion and Pavement, which was the deal sealer. But also, before COVID canceled the last scheduled Homecoming in 2020 they were supposed to play High Violet in full. Hoping they do a front-to-back set of something classic (hoping for HV obvs). They played Boxer in full for the 2018 homecoming.

    Oasis, The Strokes, The Smiths, and The Beatles 

     

    My Mount Rushmore. This one hurt, saw him at a DJ set about a decade ago. Feels like it was yesterday, RIP.

    In one year, about 15 years ago by now, I saw all of them perform separately in phoenix: Morrissey solo, Marr with Modest Mouse, and a DJ set each by Joyce and Rourke in a tiny indie club. Closest i got to "seeing the smiths" *shrug*
