Interesting fit in Andoni’s system. Having him and Ngumoah (sp?) would be a great setup in terms of depth and comparative quality.

He doesn’t understand the intricacy of non-proliferation regarding nuclear weapons nearly as much as he understands the inner workings of drug distribution and molesting family members / young women.

Glad he took the time to chime in, though. :lol:

Well yeah, don’t you feel more energized coming into the air conditioning from a scorching day?

Oh… wait.

Liverpool under Andoni will absolutely be attacking. Bandwagon? Sure. But if you watch and like them without any research first, it isn’t really even bandwagon at all.

I’m seriously considering a consensual relationship with Shakira.

What would you say my chances of success are?

Pretty sure it’s illegal to toll international waters. Whether we deserve it or not.

So is droning and bombing international shipping lanes.

All is not fair in war conditions.

- The countries in question refuse to attack Iran and take care of the problem.

- We don’t want to be involved with a ACTUAL war over there again.

- We can’t allow that shipping lanes to cease operations due because it is vital to the world and would dramatically inflame economic costs and relations worldwide.

If it is illegal to charge a security fee, so be it. It is the clear lesser of two “evils”, and it really isn’t an evil at all.

Who is going to enforce that law?

The answer: Not one country or entity can, and we have the moral high ground as well because all-out war is not likely in this scenario, plus we are doing a massive service for the world.

Saying “throw us some cash and it’s a deal” is not a problem on the world stage, just for TDS/Liberals and Never Trumpers to gnash their teeth at again.

Consent can be withdrawn. Being a part of the media is not a right. If I’m a coach and I think the media is burdensome on the players and team staff… Adios mfs.

That said, if Pulisic and Weah were interviewees, I can believe that portion.

Most of the rest of the team has been pretty professional in nearly every media interview.

This reeks of entitlement and attention-seeking.

First and foremost, the ball and fouls were NOT falling for us. This was not the only reason we lost, but it happens sometimes…

With that said:

- We need to figure out GK first and foremost. Bring youngsters in that we KNOW are good with their feet, and start from there. That is clearly going to be critical to how we play moving forward, since our back line depth is abysmal.

- Antonee Robinson disappointed the frick out of me all tourney long, but especially last night. Refusal to pass to the inside between defenders, never tried 1-2s, constantly passing backwards, and horrific crosses. He adds pressure, but it isn’t QUALITY pressure.

- Thank you, Ream… but lawd hammercy, enjoy retirement/staff work.

- Freeman was mentally the toughest player we had out there. He had a howler of a “1st quarter”, but I felt like he grew into the role that the game demanded he take. His early mistakes defensively did not really repeat themselves until Richards shot the bed along with him, but the match was gone at that point.

Once he missed bringing down that ball from Adams, the team largely ignored the fact that he had retarded amounts of space out wide and didn’t use him ONCE after the last water break. Which leads me to the next point…

- Our supposed leaders didn’t just disappear, they were never there. There is a reason Ream was captain. Tyler’s body language, and his reaction to Freeman not bringing down that ball in the box, was fricking terrible for someone who everyone thought should be leading this team.

But he isn’t the only one. Pulisic, Dest, Robinson, Tillman (at times), and Adams ALL had fricking terrible body language the entire night. Not a single one of them stepped up and took control of the situation, yet all of them threw hands up, whined/bitched about calls and mistakes, and stopped chasing when they turned over the ball multiple times throughout the night.

I don’t know who the frick they thought they were, but they DEFINITELY aren’t the “leaders” that a “national team” should be represented by.

- Balogun did everything he could. He had ZERO help.

- Players that showed actual resilience and tried to do things / improved as the match went: Freeman (still a bad game for him), Richards, Balogun, Tillman, McKennie, Gio, Berhalter.

And speaking of Berhalter, I fricking love that kid’s attitude toward the game. He is the ONLY one who tried to be a spark plug to the crowd. That near-miss shot and whipping the crowd up down two goals… that was ACTUAL leadership.

This team didn’t quit… it’s supposed “leaders” did. And therein lies the next problem.

- Pulisic is turning into a cancer for this team. He has mentioned mental health struggles lately, but he definitely is soft as frick (which mental issues can definitely be the culprit of).

That’s no excuse, however, at the highest levels of sport. That soft attitude is something you can’t have around when you’re on a team when it is coming from an unquestioned “leader” of the team. It spreads to everyone because everyone is looking to him.

To be fair, I obviously don’t believe he actively wants to hurt the squad’s mentality.

All of that is without getting into tactics (which are hard to criticize because of how poor the performance and mental effort was).

Any non-emotional input on the above, or otherwise that haven’t been beat to death on this board?

Then why cry so incessantly about something you can’t control?
