  1. Was at a Modesto Roadsters (Pioneer League) game on Thursday. Their manager was JT Snow. The next night, their promotional giveaway was a Robb Nen bobblehead.
  2. Lol, I went to a River Cats game today and Jeimer Candelario was on the Salt Lake Bees.
  3. Suarez is going to be 75 years old and still able to hit dingers against the Cubs.
  4. Well I'm certainly looking forward to the two semis. The two best teams in the tournament in one semi. All the history between England and Argentina (Falklands War, Hand of God, the Beckham yellow in in 1998). Hopefully both games deliver.
  5. They also think it promotes teams to attack more because one mistake won't end the game. You'll still have time to equalize.
  6. Boy was that dumb by the Swiss guy. You're already on a yellow card and you dive near the sideline, 35 yards from goal. Like what are you hoping to gain there?
  7. Bullpen of doom, only too often it's doom for us.
  8. Well FIFA said there's no evidence that the ball hit the wire and they are always honest about everything so they must be telling the truth.
  9. Kind of a boring game through 90. Don’t Joe mow much that had to do with it feeling lik 97 degrees in Miami.
  10. Only thing I can think is that they determined that without fan interference, the ball would have hit the railing and Suzuki wouldn't have caught it anyway.
  11. Well that makes total sense. Called a foul ball on the field. We overturned the call. But it's fan interference. Still a foul ball. So we're not actually overturning the call.
  12. If you can't tell, just stick with the call and move on. This review is taking forever.
  13. Man that's too bad for Belgium, probably going out because your starting goalie gets hurt and the backup makes an error.
  14. 115 pitches so we’ll see what they do in the 9th.
  15. Surprised wingers is so low. Though it’s only 13 PKs so there could be a bit of sample size there.
  16. That was my biggest WTF of the video. That throw went midway between 3rd and home.
  17. Rooting for Colombia here. No offense to the Swiss but Col-Arg could be fire. Colombia won’t be scared and they’ll probably go at Arg. They kept attacking until the end against Por even though a tie won them the group and they kept going at Ghana despite winning late.
  18. We won the possession because Belgium let us win it. It was 53-47 Belgium in the first half and 64-36 US in the second. Belgium didn't need to score, they knew they had another game in 4 days, and the knew we posed basically no threat offensively to score. So why would they press to try to win the ball back when they can just let us have it and do nothing with it? And that's the only stat we won. 2.15-0.67 in xG, 15-7 total shots, 7-2 shots on goal, 21-12 touches in opponents box, 4-0 big chances created. All in favor of Belgium. The second half was pretty even because Belgium allowed it to be. They had more good chances to score (1) in the first minute than we had in 90. They dominated the first half and didn't need to do much the last 1/3 of the game. Our goal was fluky as well. There's a decent chance Courtois saves that free kick if there's no deflection. And even if Belgium had two fluky goals, they also had multiple other chances that could very easily have turned into goals. Oh, and they didn't even start de Bruyne (had started all four games) and Doku (started 3 of 4).
  19. Maybe you mistyped but this game was definitely as bad as the final score indicates. If Belgium wanted to put up 6 on us, they could have.
  20. This was the chance to make a run too. In 4 years, we’ll be in Pot 2. That means unless we get Paraguay or maybe Uruguay, we’ll be in a group with a team like Belgium, Argentina, Spain, England, etc. So unless we pull an upset we’ll finish 2nd or 3rd which means either a group winner or runner up instead of a 3rd place team in the R32.
  21. Maybe I’m misremembering. But I don’t think Netherlands kicked our ass this bad 4 years ago. They were better for sure.
  22. Also a bit dispiriting after seeing how good Mexico looked last night against England, even before the red card.
  23. Poch when US soccer comes to him about staying on for another cycle:
