  1. try not to destroy your hammies gio
  2. World Cup drama makes more sense now. You can’t respect someone you’ve beat that many times in one on one.
  3. Pepi buzzer beater in the champo. He’s very good at scoring off the bench.
  4. I think this is where I’m at if I was forced to make a single solution, but it’s still complicated because Adams doesn’t play vertically enough with his passing. When they play together, Musah receiving deeper than Gio and his ability to break lines dribbling at speed covers for Tyler’s lack of distribution. i think we have to look at our midfield combination, every game, through the lens of what lineup against this particular team gives us the best chance to tilt the field through our flanks in transition moments that result in one of our attacking 3 getting the ball at their feet in zone 13. I think sometimes that will be MMA, sometimes it will be adams, Weston, and Gio, and sometimes it will be Wes, Gio and Musah. Either way these are first world problems for the USMNT because we’ve never had the luxury of real tactical versatility in our depth. Is GGG the best tactician to master this balance gave to game? Definitely not. He’ll get it right often enough but sometimes he’ll get it wrong. Either way we don’t have a World Cup winning ceiling, so I’m not sure how much is actually at stake, at which point his long term value as a culture builder and recruiter becomes where GGG’s value lies. Go get Koleosho and he’ll maximizing his strengths/value for the program.
  5. Dude if Gio wanted to send a message about how valuable he is to the national team, mission accomplished. Every second he was on the field in both games, they were flying. Every second he wasn’t, they were totally flat to downright awful. Gio cycling back in circles to facilitate Dest and Weah in transition unlocked everything. I’m not concerned about this, but there’s still a lack of chemistry between Puli & Balo. Balo likes to receive it on his feet and Christian always wants to take a touch and run with it. Hope they figure it out.
  6. Matt Turner status: he’s still wide awake
  7. Indirect free kick! We’re having fun now This ref is good
  8. Right side is absolutely cooking these poor guys.
  9. That game indicates our starting 11 can play with any team in the World, that Tyler Adams is still needed, that GGG experiments/tests his subs in friendlies, and that GGG makes poor in game adjustments and questionable subs. So we didn’t learn anything new.
  10. Christian horsefeathers Pulisic. Ace.
  11. believe this to be our biggest upside 11
  12. Great so we’re getting another winter World Cup because it will be 130 Fahrenheit during the summer. Awesome.
  13. In. Sane. A giant yellow blur making an unmarked run through the heart of the box. Perfect header.
  14. Pepi and Chucky Lozano both wanted to take a penalty. Rico alphas him, Chucky looks at the bench and the manager waves him off. Chucky makes an all time cope face. Rico slots it. Chucky doubles down on the obvious cope face. I love this sport. I love Ric Pepi.
  15. wes is undefeated at winning over managers. Absolutely driving Juve today.
  16. I think Ream is cooked. Uzbekistan is extremely solid defensively under their manager, and we know we don’t really have a midfield that breaks down low blocks easily without Gio. Balo is rusty. Lots of reasons to take the result and move on without a ton of scrutiny, but yes, it was very Berhalterian in the lack of attacking fluidity.
  17. AC Milan is so much more fun to watch this year. Puli has really opened things up for them. Perfect fit. He’s looking like he’s playing Mexico out there. And Yunus even had a signature 60 yard dribble in his limited touches/minutes. It was a good step for him.
  18. Balo to Monaco. Greatest American in the principality since Grace Kelly.
  19. Seeing how much Leo Messi cares about a US Open Cup semifinal in Cincinnati on an august Wednesday night has me realizing I’ve somehow underrated him as a competitor all these years. Not since Deuce tore that ref’s red card have I seen someone go this hard.
  20. Chelsea looked very lackluster in the attack last weekend. They need pace and finishers. They should take a look at Puli. He’d be a big upgrade for them.
  21. Puli is balling. What a goal
  22. I have sold 5 total tickets from my IM package and have now made $225 more than I paid for the season (2 seats). I’m going to the remaining 5 games I have. The games look too fun to sell anymore. I am going to buy a Yedlin kit with my profit and just be a fan from here out.
  23. thank you, big earn. https://twitter.com/fabrizioromano/status/1693203964177658358?s=46&t=6JQGuPNpjFRV3xGRI_Pmrw
  24. I don’t care but I’m happy we’re pissing off the FA on the eve of their biggest natl team match since my old ass parents were toddlers. That’s fun to me. Speaking of the game, the Spanish FA are pigs to women and England is England. What a crap final.
