re: White rice or brown rice

There is no reason to ever eat brown rice
Brown rice has a lower glycemic index than white rice, due to its fiber, slowing digestion. There are some beneficial nutrients you don't get in white rice, but it is also higher in arsenic.

Basmati rice has a similar glycemic index to brown rice, and if that is something that does concern you, rinsing/washing your rice will remove some excess starch that can increase blood sugar spikes.

I doubt you could get the smoke smell off of her much less fix her
I went with HMC over some of the others based partly on the level of professionalism, even with the price being a little more.

I was happy with the experience.

They're also playing different positions, I think its more impressive to be a starting midfielder than a winger at that age

How much of a participation bump will youth soccer in Canada and the US gain from hosting and the major media coverage?
Significant for sure, rec numbers are up around 20% in our local medium sized club, which is outside of a major city, and registration is still open.

How much will youth and college programs be subsidized, either by federal or private funds?
There is no foreseeable change in funding, especially in college.

Will there be an increase in opportunities beyond high school for males in the US or Canada?
Yes, but not through colleges, the trend was already on the rise, there will likely be a small bump. The possibility of the USL merging or being acquired by MLS will increase opportunities of post high school opportunities for not just players, but coaches, training staffs, etc.

"A player needs to want to play for the national team."
The biggest gripe I've seen has been the players are soft, spoiled, don't care. I think that's what he's getting at, getting players that would die for the crest, not just a dual nat that wouldn't make their primary nations team.

It is a two way street though, some of those dual nat's who get looked over have a big chip on their shoulder, and a desire to prove everyone wrong.

If they pull this off, they will get humbled quickly
CONMEBOL sends 60% of the confederation to the WC, in its current 48 team format, that's double by percentage what EUFA and CONCACAF send, they'll be fine... unfortunately. If they move to 64 it will be 70-80%.

No way the Mexican that was “fouled” is under 20 Guy has hairline of a 35yo
It says he’s 19. I wasn’t sure if he was one of those outside the age group exemptions, but he’s not.

My hairline at 19 wasn’t great either
No in game thread on the u-20s
Season and cook fish simple, salt, pepper, cajun seasoning. Then play around with sauces, lemon butter, piccata, chimichurri, tzatziki, creamy pesto.

Notice a theme here, no rising crust or NY Style crusts listed.
The best NY style frozen pizzas are already fully cooked and then frozen, they are usually more expensive though.

Not mad at any frozen pizza though
The only thing worse than a parent is a grandparent
Never underestimate a parents ability to completely sabotage personal relationships and reputation when they think their kids aren't getting every opportunity, regardless if there is merit or not.

Mohamed Salah earns a record-breaking package worth €17 million ($19.6 million) per season following his move to Turkish Süper Lig club Trabzonspor. This total annual amount consists of a €10 million base salary and a €7 million signing/performance bonus paid each season.


I guess none of the MLS teams wanted to shell out borderline Messi money for him.

He’s only 23 but the US team should move on from him. Time to put the Reyna hype to bed.
To what gain? Taking up a camp/roster spot and potential minutes for the National Team is not the same as salary, spot, and minutes for a club team.

Yeah but the ceiling was potentially higher
Ceiling has been the same, we were under the illusion it was higher. We’ve been a 3rd tier team for a couple cycles, if Poch can stick around for the entirety of the contract, elevate us into a 2nd tier type team in the next cycle (5-10 ranking) and win the domestic trophies, I will consider it a success,

It is almost worded like there is a lot more of an emphasis on his "staff" than himself in the day to day, but he's has to at minimum get a condo in Buckhead or wherever all of the pro athletes live

From the full article

STAFF WILL HAVE EXPANDED IMPACT ON TECHNICAL AREAS OF U.S. SOCCER

With this new commitment, he and the coaching staff will also advise and support U.S. Soccer on the broader development of the full National Team pathway, youth soccer, coaching education, professional league collaboration and other technical facets across the soccer community.
I feel better already.
