I don't get how not only is there not an overhead camera but there's also not a replay from the CF camera that they still actually have.
-
What a garbage call
-
Okay how did that stay in?
-
Me too. I was extremely confused for a second when the camera didn't immediately pan to the scoreboard

Trading Javy, who's the best defender on the team, just so you can have room for a guy who makes Aramis look durable in terms of leg muscle injuries, would be dumb.

Joe Smith sucks.

Hull City only have 11 senior field players under contract, had to stock their bench with youth academy players, so of course Leicester play the worst game they've played in like 15 months and lose. First defending champion to lose since 89-90, I think.

They looked rather lackluster in the games I watched. There must be a reason no one ever wins the olympics after winning the world cup. Mexico's elimination on the men's side was absolutely shocking. There were some odd roster choices but the fundamental problem with the WNT is baked into their CBA. There are contractual provisions regarding calls ups that make it extremely difficult for a manager to turn over the roster, which tends to result in stagnation when a generation of players starts to look past prime. Basically there are very low limits on the number of days a player who isn't already under a WNT contract can be called into a camp so going into a tournament a manager can either call up a new player or a veteran; they couldn't call both into camp and evaluate and go with the best option. Which is how you end up with Megan Rapinoe, 7 months removed from an ACL tear playing heavy minutes in the Olympics. Not for nothing, but Jill Ellis is not a very good manager either. Mexico struggling in Brazil doesn't surprise me; most of their best talent is on the senior roster.

Pia doesn't exactly care for the WNT players either. The antipathy there is pretty mutual. In a normal federation a result like this would lead to a changing of the guard and the WNT would cycle out some of the veterans for some of the really promising younger players out there, but for contractual and other reasons that won't happen.

I agree, the WNT members throwing the MNT players under the bus whilst ignoring the actual details of their CBA including the closed contracts and fact that USSF completely subsidizes their league but for some reason that doesn't count as compensation was pretty douchey. No, your statement. You're pissed that the women's team wants better treatment. You're pissed that somebody said less than perfect praise about your team. That's douchey. Yeah, no. Go look up my actual posts about it from a couple months ago if you want to post something factual.

Nothing would make me laugh harder than the WNT getting bounced in a QF after all that crap they talked about the MNT, their CBA and their ambulance-chasing lawyer putting out revenue numbers assuming they'd win gold.

You should definitely try and get one of those half-and-half scarves and go.

Javy's doing that thing where he takes the first pitch no matter what
-
That was clearly the defense's fault.
-
Yeah, facing Hernandez and Fernandez in two of those starts didn't help. You have to think he's going to get a game off coming up here to reset.
-
Maybe if Martellus ran the right route
-
Javy could use a day off
-
Some good contact that inning
-
Tough last 3 games at the plate for Javy
-
Dat tag tho

Some assorted MLS Hot Takes: -Jordan Morris is a terrible finisher. He's getting into good positions and then biffing easy chances. He should have squared for Clint on a tap in and instead blows an open goal, and then instead of a simple left footed game winner he blasts a cross 1000ft high with his right. -I can completely understand why Dempsey is at his wits end in Seattle. He's surrounded by guys who make terrible decisions in the final third. Lodeiro might help in that regard but yesterday looked like nearly every other SSFC game; creating a ton of final third possession, but too much cycling the ball to Jones or Mears, too many poor crosses, too many poor decisions, too much poor finishing. -How the hell is the Eastern Conference being led by 4 points by a team with a 0GD? -Dallas is going to have some problems with the Castillo sale not going through, since Fabian decided to actually leave for Turkey last week despite the deal obviously about to fall through.
