re: In theory why wouldn't this work? Or why might it work?

Players would get to stay home. I imagine that would be a big draw.
Our most talented guys won't want to wait until they're 23 to move to Europe, and even if they did, that would likely stunt their development and potential at the highest levels.

As bad as everyone was, I think there’s a good chance the game ends 2–2 if Freese doesn’t make that huge mistake. The Reyna sub worked and were starting to turn the screws
Agreed. The way the 2nd half started, it felt like the equalizer was coming eventually.
I can't say I was necessarily confident about winning still, but I thought we were at least going to go out on our shield like Mexico did.

Plus the defense and goalie have been a ticking time bomb waiting to go off.
No doubt. Defense and GK was a major concern heading into the World Cup anyway.
Throw in the errant passes, bad touches, losing almost every 50/50 ball, and a general lack of endeavor tonight, we were basically asking for an arse-whooping.

I disagree that it played a major role. The guys simply shite their shorts against a better team who owned them a few months ago.
They're on home soil, have been treated like heroes over the last week, and have had more of the nation following them than ever before. I think the moment overall got to them.

I would be willing to bet a lot of money that the leaders of major soccer nations have made calls to FIFA in the past...people act like this never happens
Infantino said he gets calls from heads of state, government officials, and business executives from around the world regularly. Does anybody believe those conversations are pure as snow? All of the hysterics over Trump calling him are only because it's Trump.
Most of the skyscreamers are conveniently overlooking that Infantino and FIFA could have said no, the red card stands. Everybody on Earth already knows FIFA does whatever the frick it wants anyway, so the suddenly virtuous soccer media and fans preaching "integrity" is all performative.

I try to watch some afterwards but the skill level is just down so much. They are all star teams in the Cup
Not really. The top clubs in Europe are the all-star teams. They're loaded with players who play for their national teams.
Hell, Spurs almost got relegated from the Premier League this past season, and I think they have 12 players represented at the World Cup. Wolves got relegated with only 3 wins all season, and still sent 7 players, including the starting LB for Norway.
re: Unpopular opinion: America The Beautiful should be the national anthem

Imo, America the beautiful also sounds too much like other nations' vs the uniqueness of the Star Spangled Banner.
I came here to say this. There are other national anthems with nice melodies that generically describe the landscape and how nice the country is, but are ultimately kind of boring.
The Star Spangled Banner is more interesting and memorable.

Tiger after his cheating stories came out
Admitted to being a cheater and piece of shite
Only after sponsors began to bail on him.
When the cheating stories first came out, he stuck with "private family matter" statements for a while before getting in front of cameras.

Honest question as I don't follow them, but what "championship" did they win?
I think they were a legit college summer league team originally. The owner turning them into a traveling circus is a more recent development.
Tristan Peters of the White Sox played for them before he was drafted.

You are a stupid piece of shite if you believe that no one even shifts their positions over time.
Meaningful discourse is basically dead in this country because people have become so cynical of other's opinions. Many media personalities are dismissed as "grifters" or "doing it for clicks", even though the simplest explanation usually is that these people believe what they're saying.
The MSB has accused Whitlock for years of pandering to conservative white men for attention, as if that's some lucrative career move in media. What does it take to finally just accept his opinions at face value, whether they agree with it or not?
It seems pretty bigoted to assume a 60 yr old black man has no agency to think for himself. Because he goes against the grain of your preconceived notions of what a black person should say, he must be grifting? What? :lol:

I don't like nat team managers getting multiple cycles, it never works outside France.
It worked for Germany and Croatia.
My first thought about Poch staying is that he probably aspires to get back to a big European club. But thinking about it more, maybe not?
He had his run at Spurs. He had to deal with dysfunction at PSG and Chelsea. I thought Milan could be a good landing spot for him, but they're a mess and went with Amorim.
Right now, I can't think of potential fit where a club would want him and he would want them. Hanging out in the US for another cycle without the daily grind and bullshite is probably attractive.

I actually do to some degree. I'm CERTAIN he is not the only player to have bet on football games over the last 3-4 years. Including their own team's games. In fact, there is a former Iowa St. QB who is currently on the Saints roster who was ruled ineligible by the NCAA for gambling.
That's how I feel. I think the pearl-clutching over this has been laughable considering the money being thrown at these players now, and the gambling culture that has been fomented.
Betting lines run constantly during games. Betting apps are advertised constantly on TV. Hell, Gameday does their Superdog segment weekly. But everybody feigns shock and awe about how this could happen.:lol:
Texas Tech, Sorsby, and his advisors handled this beyond poorly, but there seems to be a bloodthirsty effort to kill Sorsby's career before it starts, just because of the way it was handled.
The Lions had that WR a couple of years ago who was placing bets from the team facility. He got released, but went to Canada and is still playing for the BC Lions today, so the CFL "upholding the integrity of the league" is a joke.

For as bad as Weah was though, I think I hated watching how Pepi played even more. It seemed like 90% of his touches in dangerous areas took him away from goal.
Pepi was weird tonight. He always seemed around, but was rarely involved, if that makes sense. Like you said, his positioning was off.
FWIW FotMob gave him a 5.9 tonight, and Weah a 5.3.

I don't understand why FOX gives us Strong and Holden instead of Darke and Donovan, but whatever.
The end tonight sucked, but I'm not mad about the overall performance. If anything, this result should get the guys even more focused and galvanized for Bosnia.

I'm trying to get you to understand the concept of things being outside of recorded norms.
Again, with a relatively small sample size in the grand scheme of things, "outside of recorded norms" is just a point of variability. There isn't a greater conclusion to draw from that, particularly since France only began recording daily temperatures nationally after WWII.

True. Most of it is purely theoretical. Which is all it realistically can be, considering the relatively small sample size of recorded history we have.

This year's is supposed to be strong, but the strongest on record occurred in the 1870s.
Point being that the weather has always been widely variable and the evidence that humans have any meaningful impact is minimal or suspect.

Most of the stuff Fish did sounds fake, but was documented as fact. He would jam roses with thorns up his urethra and yank them back out. An x-ray of his pelvis also showed needles he had pushed into his body.

The Moors Murderers, Ian Brady and Myra Hindley, actually recorded audio of them raping and murdering a 10 yr old girl. It's supposed to be so horrific, no portion of it has ever been leaked and was thought to be destroyed, but the Manchester police claim it's still locked away in a vault.

Yep. The biggest problem are the left-leaning voters who don't view themselves or any of these candidates as communist.
Sure, they just want the rich to pay their "fair share", and to tax the middle class into poverty to pay for free this and free that, but it's for the greater good, so they must be the good guys. It can't be a bad thing like communism.
