Isn't that the date Addy took over at SS? Or close to it? No but it is the day Clive Rice died. Russell took over August 7.

Darvish
-
especially impressive in that he wasn't even part of the last 75 minutes of the semifinal
-
So many club teammates just looking at each other and shrugging while Harry Kane hustles his way annoyingly to a golden boot-sealing hat trick. really all he has to do is defend lukaku. and maybe claim one he didn't score
-
Missed the first half but the second was all croatia . . . and almost no whistles.
-
lol. Are you on vacation or did you move?
-
oddly true for me too.
-
wow. great move for Madrid.

I was led to believe this team sucks, is a disappointment and is underachieving sure, they just need to go 51-24 the rest of the way. That was at the end of that horrible stretch where the Cubs went 1-6 then swept three from the reds then went 1-9. they still had a 6.5 game lead.
-
uh, that needs to be caught.
-
Isn't that about when KB got hurt - ten games ago?
-
the thing is, marcelo really isn't a defender . . . glad to see Belgium push De Bruyne forward. They have to be the favorites now.
-
I would be good with that - definitely don't want to see him at MU. Wherever he goes, want to see him playing. I don't get the part about the ownership - why would that matter?
-
I think they can't sit back because Belgium would have killed them with crosses (which they did anyway). What a great game! Today makes up for yesterday's crap. I don't think there is anything more terrifying than Kevin deBruyne sprinting down the middle of the field with the ball.

I don't like this change - stupid that a foul outside the box is red and a foul in the box isn't. In fact, I think the nasty tactical fouls at midfield should also be red - two yellows - one for reckless foul and one for poor sportsmanship. Not the pull backs but the nasty tackles from behind. On Neymar- I see both sides of that - yes, he is theatrical but I also see that he is fouled constantly and some are pretty nasty. Layun should have been sent off for deliberately stepping on his ankle even if it wasn't that "hard"

I find myself going back and forth between 'we need to have an identity that informs how we play from the earliest ages' and 'we are not Spain and as such we need to be able to adapt'. Those aren't mutually exclusive ideas, but I'm not smart enough when it comes to tactics to think in more granular terms. I don't think who this coach is matters that much aside from letting the younger players play. Sarachan did a nice job there. This coach won't be there in 2026. Getting to 2022 is imperative though. If the US really wants to be a threat, we need to get our top athletes playing soccer. Speaking of Spain, the narrative that Spain is boring is interesting when their opponent played for penalties for 80 minutes - Spain's weakness was always lack of an attacking edge in the final third but to me, Russia is boring, not Spain. In any case, the US can do what Spain does well, which is to be technically precise at all times. This needs to start young though.

I got 12 of the 16 correct missing Mexico, Switzerland, Japan, and Russia. I also had Sweden second instead of first.
-
I don't get sending neuer forward - he doesn't offer much extra in the attack. happy to see germany out! The last how many champions now have gone out in the group stage?
-
that's a goal! adios germany
-
wow, that was weak
-
I don't mind germany going out either . . .
