USA World Cup Match 4: Netherlands
Landon made great point on Adams on first goal. I though that was him just jogging trailing behind Memphis. He could have been there to challenge. I don’t blame Zimmerman for not stepping up there. Second goal Dest just got beat.

USA World Cup Match 4: Netherlands
I bet Gio doesn’t come on before 80’ if at all. We have nothing to lose at this point. Take out Ferreira and Zimmerman. Go with best players on field and if we can pull it back sub CCV for McKennie and hold on Pulisic Reyna Weah Aaronson Musah MCkennie Adams Jedi Ream Dest

Ferreira is the Shaq Moore of the front line.

USA World Cup Match 4: Netherlands
Ferreira is already doing nothing. Why is he at the 18 yd mark when Dest is making that run and cross.

USA World Cup Match 4: Netherlands
My 8 year old queried “remind me about the Netherlands”? I said that’s where Max Verstappen is from (she is a Hamilton fan because, you know, the play). She said “Fuck Holland! Go USA!”

Can’t they give Heineken’s money back today?

Ukraine War
I am listening to Ultra podcast right now. These pro-Russia “let Putin do what he wants” folks sound just like the German sympathizers of 1940-1941. Like exactly. Putin’s off-ramp is to withdraw. Period. This is a conflict completely created by him. Completely. I avoid black and white narratives but this is about as close as it gets.

World Cup Day 13 - Groups G & H Final Matchday
Long memories. Although in fairness to Suarez (first time ever said?), he wasn’t the one that missed the subsequent penalty.

Boom bitches. Euros go home.

I want Ticos to get 2 and send Espana and Deutschland home.

USA World Cup Match 4: Netherlands
Would really love 2012-ish (pre-Sunderland) Jozy on this team.

USA World Cup Match 4: Netherlands
Thing is, even if we beat Wales 1-0 we are in same spot. It was a rougher road. But we are still playing it he Netherlands. So be goldfishes etc. and make it to the quarters.

Aussie's got the message from across town pretty quickly.

USA World Cup Match 3: Iran
I like Shaq Moore. He was really good in summer of 2021 in Gold Cup. I was surprised he came back to MLS. He’s out of his depth here. I don’t think Haji Wright sucked as much as it was a horrible substitution for how GGG intended to play the rest of the game. I thought he was solid against England and I’d start him against Holland over Sargent and Ferreira but am fine with Sargent too. No one out on Yellows for Saturday. That’s nice to see.

Geaux Tigahs @ aggy Pyle Field on ESPN
So if LSU beats Georgia and Michigan, SC, and TCU win out, do you have Georgia or Ohio St as #4? Because I think I’d pick Ohio St over Georgia losing to a 3 loss team, right?

World Cup Day 7 - Tunisia/Australia, Poland/Saudi Arabia, France/Denmark, Argentina/Mexico
So Mexico has to win by multiple goals, like at least 3, unless Poland or Argentina win by multiple goals? Unlikely. Poland and Argentina can rotate squads and play to a draw until Mexico starts scoring. I presume Argentina wants to win group to avoid France but, still.
-
USA World Cup Match 2: England
So go Wales, I guess. It’s too bad England isn’t sitting on a bunch of cards and rotating the team. I presume they want to avoid Holland as well so they will be playing to win, too.

World Cup Day 6 - Wales/Iran, Qatar/Senegal, Netherlands/Equador
This. If it wasn’t in the plans to get 3 points off of someone we shouldn’t have shown up and I’ll take the loss if our team can’t get a win against either Iran or Wales.

I hope Kiffin takes the Mic and says “I get that that call was shittastic, these refs are incompetent. and you deserve to be pissed off, but please don’t throw stuff on the field”. Then drop mic as he is ejected on his way to Auburn.

Surprised they didn’t do VAR but it wouldn’t have been overturned. This ref lives in Austin.

World Cup Day 4 - MOR/CRO, GER/JAP, SPN/CRC, BEL/CAN
Yeah, all it takes is Spain even drawing to Germany then it is in a rock fight with Japan while Germany plays CRC. A loss to Germany, and Spain is all of the sudden pretty nervous. This could be one of those groups where top 3 teams all get 6 points, so yeah, goal differential is important. I presume you are also trying to avoid Belgium in round of 16 in the event Japan and Spain are through after game #2 and a draw can win the group.
-
World Cup Day 3 - ARG/KSA, DEN/TUN, MEX/POL, FRA/AUS
Yeah, the idea that loser is turbofucked and draw isn’t great for either is based presumption is Arg beats both of these teams, which should go away after this morning.
