TT’s recs are good. Grant Wahl has also been doing great stuff on his substack. Backheeled.com - USS content Brian Phillips (the ringer) - the best soccer writer https://www.theringer.com/world-cup/2022/11/29/23484981/usa-iran-world-cup-game-analysis-reaction-round-of-16 Additional content to check out: Scuffed Podcast - the best USS podcast Total soccer show - the other best USS podcast US Soccer YouTube channel - behind the crest Cooligans podcast - the one actually funny soccer podcast I really enjoy In Soccer We Trust with Jimmy Conrad, Heath Pearce and Charlie Davies. They get some real good guests, aren't afraid to criticize when necessary, and obviously have the perspective of guys who have been there and done that

What does this mean? xG is essentially how many goals would be expected given the historical results of the shots taken. Penalties are worth .76 xG because of the rate they're converted, shots in close are worth more xG than those from distance, etc.

Week 13: BEARS vs. Green Bay Packers @ 1 or something
Rex Buckingham replied to raw's topic in Other Sports
4 and 16 from Seattle would be awesome if we could manage that. Maybe we'd have to swap 3rds or something, but that would likely give us our choice of whoever remains between Anderson and Carter and an OT, then we could maybe go WR (Addison?) with 16. -
I am convinced he ruptured a nut

Boy, Weah couldn't have been offside by more than an inch or two
-
Amazing goal... may not have any kids to tell about it though...

Nah, let Love play and hopefully perform well enough to make GB think he's their guy, then hope he tanks next year. -
What a terrible trade the Vuc deal is turning out to be...

Week 12: Bears @ Jets 12 CST on FOX
Rex Buckingham replied to WrigleyField 22's topic in Other Sports
Was kicking around a thought that maybe the Bears could trade 2 with maybe a 3rd or 4th rounder (not sure what the actual value chart would say) for the Lions picks (say they end up at 6 and 11) picking one of Carter, Anderson, Murphy, or whichever top OT you like at 6 then trading down from 11 for a late 1 and recoup that other pick sent to Detroit plus more and grab a WR late 1. -
Crazy goal from Morocco. Hard to believe Courtois got beat like that.
-
Got a huge boost by being on Black Friday in November. Stick that game on June 20th or whatever and it's still widely watched, but I bet plenty of casuals watched because it was US-England and they were being lazy at home the day after Thanksgiving
-
Illinois' 4 losses were by a combined 20 points. The last year prior to this one where they did not have a loss by 20+ points was 2008.
-
They would probably end up with Luke Fickell

I know it would never happen, but I honestly wonder how different things would look in both college football and basketball if no ranking were someone until part way into the season. Like, 3 games in football and a month in basketball. People would claim that the CFP rankings do this, but there's no way they don't consider the other rankings -- and plenty of that (at least toward the middle/bottom of the top 25) is skewed by the perception leading into the season.

This is good right? Just don’t get smoked today and hope englands second team is still good enough to grab 3 points against wales and we just need to beat Iran. If we win today, we go through of we don't lose to Iran. If we draw, we can go through If England win or draw v Wales and we draw or win v Iran. If we lose, we can still go through by beating Iran as long we still beat them and Wales on GD, which would obviously be very likely as long as we don't get curb stomped by England.

What a ball
-
Belgium's geezers on the back line are going to give one up if nothing changes.
-
Canada looking dangerous early, but I feel like they've got to put something away before Belgium settle in.
-
Argentina drops their opener to Saudi Arabia. SAs GK made some big stops.
-
Schrodinger's QB
-
Maybe DET if they remember that they're bad. Detroit has some semblance of a pass rush. We don't.
-
I'm not sure there's a winnable game on the schedule if Fields doesn't play.
-
Adams was amazing.
-
Pulisic has looked aggressive. I like our chances of getting a 2nd with them having to get more aggressive.
-
McKennie is much more likely to score than assist, IMO
