Should I hire a traffic attorney


Can you imagine how bottom of the barrel these attorneys would be?

You said he was overrated, which is not the case.



Yes, I was differentiating him from some of the others who just played like dogshit.

I think most people (myself included) overrated him. My opinion is that his stock is "down" not because he's a poor player but because the assumption heading into this WC is that he's an elite level player. In hindsight, that was homerism.

Lol wut?

He's consistently been arguably one of the best LB in the PL



I think most saw him in that "elite" category that you mentioned heading into this WC. This is a "stock" report...not a he's terrible report. I was pretty disappointed in his play.
quote:

He hesitated, I'm assuming being big-brained, thinking he had to pass it out of the back. It certainly appeared the initial instincts were to boot it



He didn't hesitate. He stopped.

You think he (obviously wrongly) intentionally decided not to boot it and instead play it backwards?

Or, did his body just freeze up?

I honestly don't know. It looks to me like his body froze up completely...and then he panicked and tried to send it backwards.
quote:

Even peak-Neuer playing SK would have booted that ball and not tried to play out of the back



But, I don't even think that encapsulates it all.

He managed to put himself in a position to boot it. He cocked the leg and then...what? WTF happened?

I'd put Alex Freeman in the stock rising category


100%

And, I don't know if Freese has a stock, but it would also be falling.

Dest falling.

Robinson falling (was probably overrated to begin with).

We desperately missed Luna yesterday, no two ways around it.



In my opinion, Luna isn't nearly good enough to play at this level.

USMNT's performances only met expectations, which feels like some meat was left on the bone considering everything that was in our favor.



I think "meat left on the bone" understates it.

A competitive loss would have still resulted in an overall huge success for this program.

Getting outclassed in the manner they did I think gave back a lot (not all) of what was earned.
quote:

As Alexi Lalas said "He was paid to get us beyond the Round of 16".



In hindsight, that comment was misplaced.

That kind of mindset was an aggressive, no excuse mindset that made sense with the understanding that the teams basic ability to compete with these upper level teams existed.

Now, we know that this team, despite looking good in the Group, was never at that level. It was COMPLETELY overwhelmed by Belgium.

Freese had been solid up until last night



I think Freese is done. You can't survive that mistake.
Ream was horrible. It was everything people were worried about heading into the WC. Obviously, at his age, he's done.

The mistake Freese made was so bad that he HAS to be done. You just can't make a mistake like that.

Dest was a complete disaster as well. Mental mistakes at time. Hesitation at times. Over aggressiveness at times. And, all 3 resulted in major mistakes.

Pulisic, Tillman, and McKinney couldn't play up to the level of Belgium, but they didn't make major mistakes. But, for 3 guys that are supposed to be the strength of your team, them being dominated pretty much killed every chance you had.

Finally, Jedi was a disaster as well. That's a guy that's supposed to be able to compete at this level.

It was amazing how bad he was.

Tonight was a disaster. We were dominated in all aspects of the game.

It really surprised me. I could have envisioned the back end mistakes and goals. But I really didn’t see us getting dominated in the midfield the way that we were.

No you don’t.

You are an angry little man who tries to find pride in making yourself look better at the expense of a 90 year old man.

Robinson has misjudged a handful of long balls already.

this Balogun deal is bs. Should he have gotten a red card? That's certainly debatable and I can see both arguments. But the rule for suspension is the rule. Did Trump call Infantino and influence the decision? I hope not. If Putin had done that in 2018 or a sheik in Qatar done that in 2022 to get a player to play against the US we would all be up in arms. Politics needs to stay out of football - period. Unfortunately with FIFA that sounds comical. We can beat Belgium without Flo and if we win now and Balogun scores a crucial goal it will be tainted.



Quit saying "we".

Seems crazy to lose out on a guaranteed sale over $1500


Not really. It's a matter of time. If the dealership knows they will get a better price over the next 30-45 days, it's a judgement call.

It's as dumb to get your feelings hurt because a dealership won't sell you a car for the price you want (or negotiated elsewhere) as it would be for a dealership to get their feelings hurt because a you won't pay the price another buyer was willing to pay.

Looking at the replies, is the OT really sucking off car dealers now?

I’ve never bought a car in this state because every dealer here is greedy, but at the same time, this state is evidently also full of retards willing to pay whatever they ask
