  1. It's really just PR. They should fire him now so the new guy gets a window.
  2. yes, he's completely failed. Just never makes any sense to me to think - "well, if they lose this weekend" - either he's your guy or he isn't.
  3. that would be ridiculous. does anyone expect them to win at liverpool?
  4. aside from that, what a terrible game. Brazil called for 15 fouls and two yellow cards in the first 15 minutes. the beautiful game is dead.
  5. seriously wth was he so angry about? That was crazy - just kicking the ball away was crazy and then he doubles down. The other alarming thing was Turner - both those goals need to be saved.
  6. Copa America final to Miami - Wolf should be happy!
  7. Is there anti-American bias in Europe? I just don't understand Dortmund. They didn't just lose to Stuttgart, they were dominated. They keep running Julian Brandt out there and the corpse of Marco Reus. I guess it shouldn't be surprising given that Mats Hummels has cost them the league like 4 years in a row but they don't see fit to replace him. Get the horsefeathers out Gio.
  8. yea, I can't argue with that - intent or not, you have to control your body. I hate that every european game I watch has british announcers. they are so biased.
  9. and more premier league manager whining . . . though I have questions about the rashford red - it's a tough call but it's also pretty damn dangerous. Winning in Turkey will not be easy. Bayern will win in Manchester because United is just not near their level. Maguire flailing against the Bayern attack should be amusing.
  10. I reffed some rec youth soccer this weekend and I have to say it's amazing pro refs get as much correct as they do. horsefeathers happens fast.
  11. espn had a breakdown of the goal and basically concluded all four reviewed parts of it were correct. there was a funny quote from Ange - basically saying that the reason there was VAR was because managers complained so much about calls. basically he says he prefers to have the bad calls without the delays as opposed to the bad calls with delays - which pretty well hits the nail on the head. if you're going to use VAR, get the call correct. if you don't make egregious mistakes, all the complaining looks like what it is - complaining to deflect.
  12. pretty bad day for spurs. I am getting pretty sick of the managers bitching about VAR. anything to deflect from their own crappy performance (unrelated to spurs sorry - mostly Arteta). Every league in the world has VAR but only the premier league has all the drama. horsefeathers brits
  13. Noted he is playing wingback some at club
  14. I like the idea of being creative with positions . . . seems to work well for Guardiola. That said, aren't McKennie's biggest assets his endurance and willingness to run? I've never really thought of him as a great passer (though I don't really have a strong opinion on that). I would go with Musah because he seems better able to hold on to the ball under pressure than McKennie. If you want to keep McKennie on the field, could he play as a 2 or 3?
  15. Former MLB player arrested in deadly 2021 shooting that stunned Tahoe area (msn.com) yikes.
  16. no worries. Gio's back
  17. there are teams better than Germany in the world right now.
  18. Gotta believe Jedi is better than Dest. He is not good enough. They have to have Reyna in the midfield - he is just so much better than everyone else. This game showed what can happen without a strong 6 though so either Musah or McKennie is out for me. I think I would keep Musah. I also thought Weah was exposed - can be super dangerous but some terrible decision-making. Great goal by Pulisic but he has to convert the earlier one when he tries to flop over Ter Stegen - at least get a shot off!
  19. don't worry too much, it will be too hot to play in summer in most of the world soon.
  20. Didn't watch the game but sounds like Berhalter was quickly able to reinstall offensive ineptitude?
  21. Spain's coach fired weeks after winning world cup. Apparently they don't have a mechanism to fire Rubiales? Told you so moment for the players. What an unbelievable story.
  22. I think he was pissed because all the backs just stopped and watched
  23. nailed the 8-4. did not see the brewers going 8-3 especially after being swept in LA. So, cubs lose a half game. Guess will have to win head to head
  24. Chelsea sucks
