  1. Does the halftime sub count as a window? If so then we’re done with subs, right?
  2. If we want to, say, score a second goal, I definitely wouldn’t mind at all.
  3. Pulisic off for Aaronson.
  4. So far so good.
  5. Yes please.
  6. I had the same thoughts about a potential round of 16 game. Finishing 2nd isn’t some death sentence this year where you have to play someone like France or Spain. It’s a winnable game in the next round.
  7. We could really benefit from Wales taking the lead against England. There's no realistic scenario where Iran advances with a draw and a Wales win so Wales going ahead would put pressure on Iran to then try and win the game. I know this wouldn't happen if Wales scored in say the 10th minute. But if Wales is ahead at half, Iran's got to factor that in to their style of play.
  8. I’d love to see his reaction when he finds out they have the goal to a Fernandes.
  9. Thankfully Tuesday is one of my working from home days so I’ll be able to watch the whole thing in peace.
  10. Unless Japan beats Spain, right? Then Spain and Germany would be on 4 and Spain probably has the GD. Unlikely but with the way this Cup is going, I'm not ruling anything out.
  11. [tweet] [/tweet] Didn't get any better in the second half. [tweet] [/tweet]
  12. It's got to be OSU, right? Bama's only going to have one win against a ranked team in Texas who is barely ranked. OSU beating ND is probably pretty close. ND was 15th and will probably drop a couple spots. Texas was 23rd and will probably jump a couple spots. OSU also beat what will be a top-10 Penn State team on the road. OSU's loss is worse by points (by 22 at home vs. by 4 total points, both on the road) but it's also to a better team (top-2 vs. top-10-12ish). If Bama had pulled out one of those games they'd be ahead of OSU, though they'd also be in the SEC title game in that scenario and would have the chance to play their way in like they did last year.
  13. Yep. I think Georgia and Michigan are in regardless and TCU and USC are in with wins. OSU gets in if USC loses. But if TCU loses and USC wins, you have 12-1 TCU and 11-1 OSU, and I don’t know which one you pick. Neither would be a conference champ.
  14. TCU might still get in over Bama in that scenario. Plus I wouldn’t be surprised if Ohio St still gets in over LSU leaving the SEC with only one team. In 2016, 11-2 Penn State beat an 11-1 Ohio State and won the Big 10 but got left out in favor of Ohio State. OSU had a win at Oklahoma that year and the loss was by 3 points. Meanwhile Penn St lost to an 8-4 Pitt team and was boat raced by 39 against Michigan, which is similar to LSU losing to Florida St and Tennessee this year. I think TCU would have to lose big for LSU to have a chance. Of course it won’t matter if LSU doesn’t turn it around tonight.
  15. I would say probably but it depends on the results. Assuming whoever wins today doesn’t get crushed by 25 next week then yes. I think the H2H win, especially if it’s Michigan winning at OSU, overrides a close loss next weekend in the Big 10 title game.
  16. I think it just allows them to bunker down a bit and make sure they don’t lose They'll bunker either way though right? They probably will considering England probably won’t lose. But if Wales wins and Iran-US ends in a draw then Eng-Wales-Iran are all on 4 points and Iran is out on GD.
  17. Unless England starts to rout Wales. Then tactics could change, pending the score in our game.
  18. Kind of interesting that even though Iran is ahead of us, that the Eng-Wales result matters to them but not to us. If Iran ties us, they're on 4 points with a -2 GD. If Wales wins, they're on 4 points with, at worst, a -1 GD and would go though. England would also be on 4 points and would have a better GD also.
  19. We were unlikely to score there anyway but just kick it into the box. So dumb to do what they did.
  20. Gio's alive!
  21. Meanwhile can someone figure out how to let Gio out of Gregg's jail?
  22. Solid half. Just need to find a finish now. This thing is there for the taking.
  23. Eff it let's go win this MFer.
  24. 98% of the attention Ronaldo is getting is over his temper tantrum and quitting ManU. Almost nobody is talking about Portugal winning the tournament or making the finals. It’s all Messi in that aspect. I can’t speak for her it would be fitting comment though.
