I disagree with fan control. We host some of the biggest events on the planet every year and we do not have problems like we saw last night. CONMEBOL was in charge of Copa and it showed throughout the tournament. We offered help and they declined in many different instances which led to situations like last night. USSF/FIFA will be in charge of the World Cup. We have to improve field conditions massively, but this Copa and the World Cup will look massively different just based on who is running the tournament. With all that said, last nights optics looked terrible. That game should have never been played. Who knows who got in and with what. A massive failure all around last night unfortunately.

thought we had a small chance here. Guess not.

Lets just say there are completely “sane” takes in this thread. But a lot of the basketball accounts echo our thoughts. Almost have to go 11-1.

Not surprised to hear he gave us a graceful yet swift “no”

Good point. Completely forgot about those two December conference games!

Also a looooong break (20 days) between the NFlorida and first tournament game.

We also have plenty of cupcakes prior to this three game stretch to figure out our new pieces. We’ll also be tested by CU and St Mary’s at this point so it’s really a tuneup for conference season.

Do you like your cupcakes frosted? Creighton is Creighton. St Mary’s is sneaky good. Everything else is… woof.

We can’t keep doing the same thing. Look if we go the Cherundolo route before at least reaching out to names like Klopp, etc, I might pull my hair out. As much as I paid to watch the Uruguay game, we can afford to throw some money at a solid name. Go big. This is the biggest two years coming up to grow the game… ever.

This seems good? No?

2-1 is the absolute bare minimum here IMO.

Love that KT is getting his shot. Many never thought he’d get one at all.

It’s Tuesday, July 9th and GB is still the coach of the USMNT.

Still trying to digest what I watched on Monday.

I will say though… the players have to have some accountability too. Dest, Weah red cards, etc. just can’t happen.

My Goodness. If we don’t make it out of a group with Bolivia AND Panama on home soil, I don’t know how GB survives. Elimination game for us Monday. I’ll be there. Have to win. Panama will likely beat Bolivia.

I thought we looked pretty solid as well. Sure a lot of missed chances, but goodness that could have easily been 4-0 or 5-0. Turner didn’t really have to work either. We showed some nice buildup that didn’t involve a cross into the box, so that was nice to see. Uruguay looked beatable too (we’ll still need to bring our best game next Monday). Either way, next Monday SHOULD be a “both eliminated/both moving on” situation.

Lolll! I’m headed down to KC next week for, what’s hopefully, the group battle for 1st.

This is a great point. We’re also never going to be a place where a kid even thinks he might sit and wait for an opportunity, so we’ll have a new team every year basically forever.

Bryce was called up to Houston's AA squad.

Wonder when TBA will turn into actual teams for the Diamond Head. You would think it’s getting late in the scheduling process for some. I’m not expecting much from those last two teams. That St Mary’s game should be a great test and sneaky good Non-Con game.

I want to answer all! Favorite game: Wisconsin-- Purdue is an easy answer, but that comeback! Ohhhh baby! Best specific moment-- KT's deep three right before the half against Indiana in the B1G Tournament. The look of "What the hell just happened" in the IU players & fans eyes. The arena going crazy (outside of the IU shirts and jerseys). Wild thing. It was one of the multiple moments where I thought "this is the year" for something special. When did you realize this team could be legit ?-- Kansas State. 2nd true road game and we were coming off an exhilarating win after two bad losses. The way we controlled that game in that environment was amazing! What did you like about the team?-- How close and cohesive they were. This is the 2nd year in a row where we replaced a lot but were pretty cohesive and close. Favorite player-- I'm going with the easy one here. Keisei Tominaga. The dude is fun to watch. National treasure. Most important player-- Juwan Gary. This was a tougher one and I'm going with a likely lesser popular answer. Rutgers on the road though. Enough said. Best memory -- Attending the Minnesota game. Was the only game I got to in person. Most frustrating game-- This one has to be A&M. Not just because we didn't get over the hump. We didn't play well period and they played lights out. Frustrating game all around.

Doesn't make it right at all, but I read that the head coach possibly was having an affair with the bat boys mom and then the dad killed himself and the kids? Is this verified anywhere? Supposedly they were saying the coach was the cause of the deaths or something like that. Still, that's not something you heckle about. Ever.

Three walk offs, a rain delay and a 10 PM baseball after dark. Best CWS EVER!

Posted this in another thread.. but there was some evidence brought up where one of her friends texted her "Got him" or something like that with $$$ signs.
