USMNT 2023
I pulled up ESPN here in Mexico and hit translate. It was awesome…. Some highlights: “Mexican ineffectiveness is a suicidal invitation for the adversary. And the United States wastes the 23rd. Christian Pulisic in the box, taking out his lapdog Edson Álvarez, but on the final shot, he sends it over.” “At 90 seconds into the second half, Mexico is violated again. Jesús Gallardo only sees Tim Weah's catalytic converter, who goes deep, after a play orchestrated from his field. Pulisic appears again in the center, with guards that are more distracted, coarser, more goofy and slow in head and foot. 2-0.” ”Mexico remained in the same line of shipwreck. The players tried to do individual feats, but without being trained for it. The United States felt more comfortable than ever in history against a Mexican team, to the point that they even seemed to feel sorry for them.”

That’s tongue and cheek partly because I love that gif. But I have no confidence Greg isn’t going to outsmart himself. Pepi isn’t a fan either. It’s such a tone deaf move by the Federation.

So hopefully Ferreira never gets meaningful USMNT time again tho, right?

Would be funny if Mexico can’t play in 2026 World Cup.

Aaronson’s a tough dude. Didn’t expect that out of him.

Putting Aaronson out there is likely to draw another red. He’s one to annoy the fuck out of someone.

Did El Puto just come out there?

So I guess USSF just doesn’t give a shit. Hire the guy back that has a toxic relationship with the most talented player in our history. Seems right. I mean, talk about not reading the room. Hopefully more people follow Deuce’s lead. It won’t change anything but more likely to get him fired pre-World Cup when he runs his Austin FC system.

Watching in Cabo. We should play Mexico here. Same effect as playing them in the Rose Bowl because it’s 80% Americans.

I’ll be completely honest here. In some ways, this is better. It’s implicit admission and makes him look like a coward. I am probably in the minority on that but we could start paying attention to the important things again if he were to hightail it. Sure the press would spend their 5 minutes here and there nightly on it. But it essentially ends him as a politician here.

Anyone but Trump but then anyone but Biden
Ok. But that second team QB is going to get us a winning record and a good bowl game even with a defense coached by peak Manny _iaz with assistance from Aggie era Torbush. And the alternative is getting intentionally Marshalled into a Mountain, so I’ll take it Analogy gone too far I guess….

Fuck that. Biden has been as effective as possible give the insane asylum in the House. And any Dem or moderate that thinks different is a fucking concern troll.

The problem is that even if the other 4 or 5 candidates take away 1/2 of Trump’s current baseline with GOP, they are still splitting it and Trump still wins a plurality. They are playing a game of chicken with the hope that DJT has to drop out and the one that quasi supports him the longest sweeps up his base. It’s a fucking tontine for his voters.

The downfall of Lindsay Graham
So I realize the interview gets shut down immediately, but would love to see someone say... "Senator Graham, I need time to set up this next question so I am going to mute your mic. You said X, Y, and Z about Trump in 2015 and 2016. You did not like the man at the time and thought he'd be bad for the country. There areample public and private statements to that fact. At some point, your public support of Trump took a 180 such that you are proliferating what we all, including you, know are lies.... or for the sake of decorum, we'll call them the Republican view of things. All of that leads me to ask, Senator Graham, what do Trump and his allies have on you that would create such a dynamic shift, and why does it include pictures of moles on your ass?" Then let the body language experts take it from there. They are usually right.

Piss on Grave Tour
<sigh> I remember when I was hopeful that best case, Trump was America's Berlusconi. <sigh>

Austin FC
Yeah… that was all pretty shitty. I’ll be stunned if they fire Wolff after last year. He gets 2024 I bet a. Maybe I’ll be able to upgrade season tickets if we tank this year. I have no idea how MLS contracts work but we need to cycle out Ring and Rigoni and get some real DPs. Would love to see us throw money at a Tim Ream type. No idea how to make that happen. But get a veteran defender on downside but still effective. Like a better version of what we got from Besler in year one. Gabrielson was kind of that. I’ve liked the Serb but sounds like we could lose him in a month?

2023 NCAA Super Regionals Thread
Yeah…. That wasn’t exactly Griffey Jr right there. Duke can hit. I am not sure they can slow Virginia down but I bet UVA has to get more than 5 to win.

Man, cool to see Duke doing well in Baseball. From 1995 until this current coach got there Duke baseball was amazingly worse than Duke football with a scandal or two to boot. The field was a joke. They gave that really good Vandy team a scare a few years back until Rocker no hit them. Hope they can get it done this year.

Messi to Inter Miami
I love the two league idea but it will never, ever, ever happen in US soccer. Uk/European football clubs have decades of not a century of support behind them National League games in the UK sell put. When Austin FC gets relegated we get left with Austin Aztecs level attendance immediately in a lower league. Even worse when a club like Atlanta gets relegated trying to play in MB stadium. There would need to be massive subsidies to the lower league teams and golden parachutes to the ones that get relegated.

Messi to Inter Miami
That was Ronaldo’s mistake taking the Saudi money. It’s a flat check and he is fucking playing in obscurity. Messi will get all the advertising dollars, NIL money on jerseys and exposure on tv to double what Saudi would give him. Ronaldo fucked up. He should be taking passes from Driussi right now. A guy like Benzema, I get the Saudi league. But Ronaldo underestimated himself.
