  1. This is an ass kicking.
  2. Makes it look even worse that he continued to shoehorn in a striker when we had more talented players on the bench. Reminded me of Spain did at times when they didn’t have a striker they liked. Rather than put one out there just for the sake of doing it, they’d just put an extra super talented midfielder out there instead. Obviously we’re not anywhere close to those Spain teams but the manager needs to figure out a way to get the best players on the field. so, you're saying Gio is the next Iniesta? Sure would be nice if he is!
  3. Memphis isn't really that good either, which only furthers the point. We don't have a Depay much less a good striker!

  4. [tweet] [/tweet] Depay hasn't scored a UCL goal since the 19-20 season.
  5. 2nd place being whoever loses the conf champ or the highest ranked left in each? Whoever loses the championship game. No thanks. I already hate that a team like this year's Purdue can win one game at the right time and get a top-4 seed. We don't need to then let them, North Carolina and LSU (or the countless others over the years) just because they won their division. They're going to let the 5 conference winners plus the Group of 5 team. Just take the next 6 best teams.
  6. Record is 16. He’s got at least 1 more game this year and he’ll be in his prime for 2026. I would think he’d still be good enough to be a starter in 2030. Injuries plus the World Cup only being a few games obviously come into play but it’s hard to see him not breaking the record.
  7. Yeah, TCU losing in OT means it's easy to keep them at No. 3 assuming Georgia doesn't blow this lead. And even if the rest of this game and whatever Michigan does to Purdue is justification to move Michigan to 1, then they'll just drop TCU to 4.
  8. Yeah. We're close but we're not quite good enough. It's not like we advanced out of the group but were smoked by England and the Netherlands.
  9. Those 5 minutes when we had hope were nice.
  10. Dammit. Don't leave dudes open on the back post.
  11. We're going to get 1 or 2 good chances the last 10 minutes plus injury time. Just need to take it.
  12. There's 1 back!
  13. So close again. And then so close to giving up #3.
  14. If Gio doesn't play now he's either hurt or Berhalter should be fired.
  15. Can't give up a goal on the last kick of the half like that.
  16. Tennessee should absolutely get in over Alabama, but the committee is composed of abject morons, so… They’d use the Hooker injury as their reasoning. I was going to say the same thing. I might be misremembering but don't they take injuries into account? I thought I remember that being the case one time but I might be wrong.
  17. Not good.
  18. That was a heck of a chance. Can't be blowing those.
  19. [tweet] [/tweet]
  20. I suppose the final four is set now barring a USC comeback. I would think the committee would keep OSU and Michigan apart similar to Georgia and Bama last year. So barring Georgia losing it will be OSU-Georgia and Michigan-TCU.
  21. Brazil was one more Swiss goal away from blowing the group.
  22. Suarez tears on the bench. Love it. Thanks for the image, Fox!
  23. South Korea takes the lead! Uruguay needs to score to advance.
  24. From ESPN's preview of the US-Netherlands: Someone who knows more than me tell me why this would or wouldn't work.
