    My BIL has been going out on his kayak a bunch this year.  I normally wouldn't post this, but a hammerhead shark came up and bit the largest kingfish I've ever seen in half.  Starts at about the 3 min mark.  He's going to Panama to do some kayak fishing at the end of August.

    Awesome vid, thanks for sharing. That is the sort of shit that would make me want to stick to the jetties.

  2. Team played better today--and for most of the tournament--than I expected. Admittedly, however, those expectations were extremely low after our final two tune-up friendlies.

    U.S. problem right now is a midfield that cannot win--or keep--possession. Lack of a true striker hurts, too. Hopefully, both issues will be addressed as more and more youth gets incorporated into the lineup. (Guessing that this was the last hurrah for the likes of Altidore, Zardes, Bradley, etc.)

    Also--and I've beaten this horse for years--the best way to defend the U.S. is with high pressure. Too many of our guys simply aren't comfortable in possession when closely marked. Tobin Heath and Rose Lavelle have more technical ability than a majority of the USMNT roster, and I write that without irony or exaggeration.

    Was encouraged from what I saw of Cannon and McKennie. Steffen is solid. Long, Miazga, and Arriola are serviceable, not great. But there is more young talent out there and hopefully whoever in charge will put together a better, more cohesive roster once the qualification cycle begins.

  3. Congrats to Mexico. Dominant second half for El Tri, especially a stretch from the 60th to 70th minute, when it seemed like the U.S. could never get possession.

    Just dropped onto Jozy for no reason.  Fuck em

    Like I said, these Mexican dudes go down way too easy. It's like they've been going down in the presence of other men their entire lives ...

    Cannon is one of our best defensive prospects in the last 20 years. 

    He merits an overseas contract on this tournament alone.
