  1. Yeah it felt like they just kind of sleepwalked their way to a goose egg.
  2. Greene might have had a meltdown but he’s pretty good.
  3. Looks like that Buffstreams site has been taken down.
  4. They may hit terrible at home but a pitch up, without speed or movement, is gonna get whacked over the infield anyway.
  5. This dude really is exactly what his small sample size numbers suggested.
  6. Put in a call to Infantino.
  7. At least the Cardinals are being shown why they aren’t good. If there’s one positive thing the Brewers can do, it’s that.
  8. Brewers going .500 the rest of the way is roughly the same odds as the US winning the World Cup.
  9. Aa extraordinary collapse for the ages. And just another magic carpet ride for Messi. Wow.
  10. That sound was millions of Egyptian fans having their hearts torn out.
  11. I'm a miserable F* so I don't mind saying an early Messi exit will make me feel better.
  12. The first clue to how this was going to turn out happened very quickly. The ball pops up in the air after a weak header, deep in our zone, and we sit there watching it as it falls at the feet of a Belgium player. I don't know soccer but even I could see it's a genuine WTF moment. Did they come to play today...
  13. Hopefully they’ll be known as a better generation but far from the best. A tiny country like Belgium can outclass the US because they are better at growing players.
  14. He can’t even let us lose fair and square.
  15. Different sport but Ream got posterized.
  16. The increase in difficulty from BIH to BEL is stark.
  17. I'm only upset that Trump would call FIFA and then they would just cave. That's bad. As I understand it there's an actual rule cited that allows them to do what they did. So if that's indeed the case then nobody can say they made up a special rule just for the US. Even if it's a first time thing, if there's a basis for it, then there's a basis for it. FIFA should have simply done this review on their own, using the rule that they cited, without a Trump phone call. I don't think anyone should be OK with the President of a host country making a call to FIFA. It's a terrible precedent. I guess FIFA is allowing Belgium to lodge their appeal too, so until game time I'm not taking it for granted that he will play. They might reverse the reversal. This whole thing has created a huge distraction from what has otherwise been an amazing World Cup.
  18. I don’t care what Belgium thinks. They SHOULD think that they can beat the US with or without, and that it was a stupid call anyway. Because that’s the objective truth and competitors don’t typically walk around hoping teams have injuries so they can score a cheap win. But if they are all butthurt over it whatever.
  19. I'm not knowledgeable about soccer rules, but I couldn't believe they had to play 30 minutes down a player. And they scored anyway, which was awesome. But that just seems ridiculous since they've already ejected him and he's not going to be able to play the next game either. All that for a foul that the whole world saw Messi commit with no repercussions. It reeks to high heaven.
  20. Dansby “rollercoaster” Swanson. He’s two completely different hitters. The bipolar player.
  21. I just saw Messi did the exact same thing and wasn’t red carded. This was snobbery. US isn’t “supposed” to be good. Bastards.
