"Golden Generation" of players can eat a dick. What a pathetic showing tonight. Did probably just enough to not consider this WC an outright failure, but also absolutely collapsed when the lights shined brightest. I take no joy in it, but the USMNT are losers, completely forgettable.
Home world cup and crash out like this. I won't say it was an outright failure but it for sure was a disappointment. No teeth. Pathetic today.
Game over. Exhibit A as to why US soccer isn't respected. Goddamn clowns out there.
Moment is proving far too big for USA at the moment. This defending is terrible.
Glad we gave a run out to the 2nd strung shite dicks tonight. Hopefully none of them will see meaningful action going forward. Weah was atrocious, Arohnson and Pepi were suseless. Turner and the back line were weak as well. Doesn’t mean anything but what an absolute momentum killer. Just so mediocre… and predictable.
Yep Chapin draws a lot of retirees (and affluent families) due to the lake. Lakefront property has become exorbitant relative to what it was even 10 years ago so arriving middle class families are relegated to the cookie cutter neighborhoods which are becoming omnipresent. Chapin, along with everywhere else in the South, has lost a bit of it's charm and culture due to the growth but I guess that's the price you pay to live somewhere desirable these days.

Let me know if you have any questions about the area - I lived in Columbia for the first half of my life before graduating from USC and heading to Chapin to seek a slower life & start a family. Despite the creeping sprawl, life here is good!



Re: Chapin

Capital of Lake Murray. Historically a rural farm town that has turned into an outer suburb of Columbia with neighborhood after neighborhood being developed. Two of the best public high schools in the state, very good place to raise a family. Middle / Upper Class & safe.

Easy access to I-26 to get to Columbia & Irmo for work / nightlife / shopping although infrastructure needs to catch up to the population growth. If you are going to live in the middle of South Carolina and prefer suburban living over the city of Columbia itself, Chapin or Lexington are the places to be.

If you are going to live in Columbia itself, pick a neighborhood that feeds into AC Flora or Dreher High Schools (Shandon, Rosewood, Forest Acres, Woodhill area). Stay away from all the others in Richland County.

If you want to live in the 'burbs, go for the Lake Murray area with either Lexington on the southern side (feeding Lexington or River Bluff High Schools) or the "Dutch Fork" area on the northern side (feeding Chapin & Dutch Fork High Schools).

Good private schools but they are unnecessary unless you just want to splurge or prefer a parochial education.

Columbia has nice areas that quickly turn into bad areas so be careful. If you know where your job will be I can give you additional tips. Lived in and around the area 38 of my 39 years. Columbia is largely unremarkable but extremely livable. Plenty to do. 2 hours to the beach and mountains for day trips / vacations.
