  1. This is the kind of match we all wanted to see from Pulisic
  2. Ahh so close
  3. Fun little thread of many of the sick throws Fields has made his first 2 years
  4. LMAO that would have been an epic blunder by Portugal at the end if he scored. Not sure I’ve ever seen someone hang out behind the goalie waiting for them to put the ball down and then stealing it.
  5. And now the Bulls win in Milwaukee. What a weird team
  6. Interesting take RE: Michigan. I definitely agree that Michigan fans are very pompous. More talking about the perspective of rivalry. I agree that OSU fans have this unhealthy hatred of everything Michigan but I haven’t met very many Michigan people that say they dislike MSU more. They do dislike MSU especially in basketball but they loathe OSU. I grew up in Michigan and am a MSU fan because of Michigans superiority complex. But I always had the feeling that MSU took the rivalry with Michigan way more serious than Michigan fans did. No doubt they were more interested in hating OSU Yeah I didn't grow up in Michigan so I didn't get involved in all of that. I just thought Michigan's helmets were cool as a kid and then Charles Woodson + Robert Traylor breaking a backboard cemented it.
  7. Closest team in your division...somewhat similar competitive levels. Where I live it is almost as close to Purdue as it is to Champaign and there is a fair amount of Purdue fans around. I think Purdue's style of "play" in the game this year against Illinois is going to create some resentment if it continues in the future In-state normally comes first. Purdue-Indiana, that's the rivalry. One thing I always found amusing when I was at OSU was how much they horsefeathering hate Michigan. I mean hate. Well, they hate everyone who isn't OSU, but the hate for Michigan is on another level. In Ann Arbor, they recognize OSU as their biggest challenge, but the stronger dislike is for MSU. However, similar to ND in Ann Arbor they generally consider themselves above everyone all the time about everything. Some not jokingly, compare UM to Harvard and MIT. They sell t-shirts that say; Harvard, Michigan of the East. I've never seen a worse college atmosphere than Columbus in terms of perspective on what college sports are. I live in Alabama and there are definitely some nutters at Auburn and in Tuscolusa, but it is nothing compared to Columbus. Interesting take RE: Michigan.

  8. I don’t think he’ll end up playing. Fields with no ability to take hits and hastily altered throwing mechanics sounds like a disaster Also: Sunday is gonna be a horsefeathers show lol
  9. Feels like Canada is still coming out of this group but we’ll see. Golden opportunity to take control
  10. Rough to dominate like that and be down a goal. Not sure how I feel about Canada. Super fun to watch but I feel like Mexico probably thought in the 90s/00s with the US, they're here to disrupt the status quo in CONCACAF and I don't like it. Maybe I should just enjoy it and then start disliking them afterwards.
  11. https://twitter.com/johndietzdh/status/1595482572229836800 He also says that Fields is considered limited in practice today (though its only a walkthrough) and that Fields is not a candidate for IR
  12. Germany is so incredibly fucked. Japan gets to play this seemingly DOA Costa Rica team next while Germany play Spain. If Japan wins they need to beat Spain. A draw puts them in a situation where they would have to make up a -8 GD against Costa Rica and hope Spain loses. Even if they beat Spain, they’ll need to beat CR and hope Spain doesn’t beat Japan. They’re in a really bad spot. Edit: yes pretty much what bukie posted but I arrived at it independently
  13. They were also two games away from breaking the record for longest unbeaten run by a mens national team. They still have a good chance to win the group really. I was going to watch this recorded but my cousin texted me the result at 6 AM . . . Poland and Mexico looked pretty hapless. I actually think Mexico looked solid. Poland looked pretty hapless. Had a golden opportunity to get 3 points in a group that was upended by a massive upset and blew it.
  14. I have no idea how to feel about this. Like there's clearly no reason to rush him. But they can't just hold him out if he's healthy. There still seems to be some uncertainty if there's a real joint injury or more of a banged up scenario. There's no way he'll be completely healed and healthy, Jets pass rush is going to spend the day in Bears backfield, absolutely no reason to play him and expose his shoulder to further injury. I think the Bears should be as conservative as they need to be, but I also understand the desire to use as much of this season to continue developing him in an otherwise meaningless season. They shouldn't be reckless but if he's healthy enough to play I hope he can get another 4-5 games in this year.
  15. Dabo seems to think Northwestern and Indiana are huge rivals
  16. VAR gives Poland a penalty and Lewandowski is stopped wow. Not going to do much to help his reputation
  17. Watching the highlights and Argentina had 3 goals in the first half overturned by offsides, 2 of them overturned by VAR. All with a 1-0 lead and looking to put the dagger into the Saudis. Instead they score 2 goals and win. Also Saudi Arabia's keeper made several ridiculous saves to keep them ahead, including one in the 101st minute after 8 minutes of stoppage time. Recommend watching the highlights if you haven't
  18. Wtf did he dislocate it or not??
  19. Also the Bulls are 7-2 on Monday-Thursday and 0-8 on Friday-Sunday
  20. 3-2 right? wins were Boston, Boston and Miami. Losses to Boston and Philly
  21. And officially it’s a left shoulder dislocation I’m assuming it’s gotta be a grade 1 or grade 2 to even consider him day to day right?
