FS1. Mex-CRC is on FS2.

 

Saw that. Thanks

 

This 10:30 kickoff nonsense is the worst. Stupid west coast. I thought we only gave them daytime summer games for a reason.

 

That Jozy pass to set up Pulisic to set up lletget was dirty. Good start.

 

By the way, hi guys. it's been awhile. I've hardly been in here since the switch to chorus

 

MIKEYYYYYYY

 

DEUCE

 

I am so glad Pulisic exists.

 

we back

 

that deuce free kick was nasty af

 

what a shit show, 6 to nil. Fucking Dempsey hat trick. It almost was hard to watch Honduras fall so hard

 

Damn I can't believe Bruce Arena's Fightin' Yanks are the greatest side the sport has ever seen

 

I'm quite happy about that result

 

Pulisic is already so good lol

 

Are NYRB games usually this poorly attended these days?

 

Rumours of Hazard to Real. Fine player, but where would he play? On the wings? They don't really play with a #10

 

Correct me I'm wrong, @Dani, but I think the front line would then be Hazard-Ronaldo-Bale as opposed to Cristiano-Benzema-Bale. I think I saw that talk. But then again, according to La Liga journos, Benzema has been leaving Madrid for like three seasons now.

 

No, it was cold and rainy here yesterday

 

Ronaldo has been slowly shifting away from the wing and into a more center forward position. That's how you'll get the most out of him. So that front line makes sense.
But like Nick said, we don't really play with a #10 so bringing in Hazard is beyond me. And if we're switching to a 4-4-2 to play with a #10 I'd stick with James or Isco over Hazard.

 

I'm not crying. You're crying.

Hart swaps places with Defoe so Bradley Lowery can lead England out at Wembley

 

Today I went to a regionalliga nord 4. Bundesliga match for ETSV Weiche v. Braunschweig II. Weiche scored twice before we got there, but the game unfortunately ended in a tie. Great fun though

 

Messi banned from the next four Argentina WCQ for insulting an assistant ref. Obviously, not something you should do and should receive punishment for, but when it didn't even make the match report, it seems awfully suspicious/weird and four games seems harsh considering that the offense if noted during a match is only a yellow card...

But besides Uruguay, the other three matches are pretty win-able for a team of Argentina's quality without Messi anyway. If anything, this just improves Barca's chances of success early next season not having him travel to South America during the Aug/Oct FIFA weeks.

 

Rooting for Syria to qualify

 

Video refereeing was used today in France v Spain for offside decisions and worked a treat.

 

So the US qualifier tonight isn't being aired tonight? Or is it on BeIN?
