Dipshit is gone. USSF's only ethical violations involving Gregg relate to the process it undertook to hire him.

Do you have friends who still heavily rely on their parents' money?
There are many families in my neighborhood who rely on their parents to finance their lifestyle to various degrees. The ridiculous competition for housing increased this reliance as all cash offers became necessary to win competitive bidding situations, the sources of which are often provided by by parents. They annoy me about as much as mannies (house husbands for the uninitiated) and used to bother me more when I was really busting my ass and never seeing my kids while they were on the golf course 4 days a week. In my experience, these types tend to congregate, are nice enough, frequently involve MILFs in yoga pants and don't include the Karens that I actually have issues with.

Pathetic pen. Such a weak ref

World Cup Final - Argentina vs France
This virus could decide the final. All of the French CBs are now sick and Rabiot still hasn't full recovered which suggests the CBs won't be anywhere near 100% for the final.

World Cup Semifinal 2 - France v Morocco
What has anyone learned about Qatar through this world cup that hasn't just reinforced pre-existing stereotypes? Qatar is exactly what everyone thought it was and few will ever think of it again.

No question but it is a very convenience justification for keeping greggg or hiring some MLS coach. "We can't afford the names everyone wants"

USMNT 2023
Gregg makes less than $1.5 million while LVG makes almost $3 million for the Netherlands. Jesse Marsch makes more than $3.5 million for Leeds while the big club managers make over $10 million.

USMNT 2023
The USMNT podcasters are suggesting that the USMNT coach budget is limited to $2 million annually because of institutional fixation on equal resource usage for the USMNT and the USWNT. If true, this caps our candidate pool at the likes of Roberto Martinez.

From what I can tell, only from Berhalter's agent, his supporters in the media and those regurgitating what they are hearing from Berhalter's agent and supporters in the media.

USMNT 2023
Why the fuck would gregg hold a vote including low level staffers? You are the manager. Manage. "But how does the masseuse feel about Gio's attitude?" Gio clearly has an attitude issue. Anyone who has watched him closely at Dortmund knows that his effort level directly corresponds to his form. If he is off, he is among the laziest players I have ever seen at that level. It can be shocking. I imagine that Greggg told Gio early in camp that he wasn't starting and Gio basically shut it down from there. It's ultimately on Gio for being an insufferable brat but the situation also indicts Greggg's man-management skills. Greggg's "leaking" of the story is ridiculous. Steve Sampson didn't confirm for years why John Harkes was dropped from the 98 squad although doing so would have spared him a ton of criticism. Ironically, greggg's attempts at deflecting the heat for not playing Gio may ultimately cost him the job because bringing Gio back on board for 2026 is far more important than retaining a shitty manager whose brother used to run the USSF. The hilarious element of the story how satisfied greggg clearly is with respect to his handling of the situation.

Great use of resources. Imagine celebrating the exchange of a Bond villain for a WNBA player.

World Cup Quarterfinals - Croatia/Brazil, Netherlands/Argentina, Morocco/Portugal, England/France
538's model actually has England as a very slight favorite over France (52-48) and the SF b/w Portugal and France/England as a toss-up. They have Brazil as a strong favorite to emerge from the other side and win it all. I'm not sure why the Dutch aren't getting more respect.
