Btw lalas supporting the current system is basically proof that it doesn’t work. Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimovic would never have had the money to pay for the American system. So we are stuck with players like Lalas and Pulisic as a result of this exclusion.
🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴 Tras clasificar a la siguiente ronda del mundial, todo el plantel de Noruega se sienta en el campo y empieza a remar junto con su afición en el estadio…simplemente maravilloso 🤩🤩🤩
American soccer culture has to be built around American culture. Not European culture. Stuff like this is infinitely cooler and more authentic than stealing songs and customs from British or Dutch fans.
Americans want to feel American.
Legendary NFL receiver Steve Smith was talking about Zachariah Branch’s role in the UGA offense this season and called it “utterly pathetic” (swipe) 😳
Apparently Branch only ran a corner, comeback, or post route on 1% of his total routes run. He says that the Dawgs are not putting their receivers in a position to get drafted because they aren’t getting enough opportunities…
What do you guys think about this? It did seem like Branch could’ve had a bigger role in the offense this season with how explosive and speedy he is.
Duke came into the game with the 2nd best defensive foul rate in the country, behind Illinois. But I'm sure it's only because every ref in the country is a secret Duke fan.
PSA (please share if you agree)
The most losses a P4 team has ever had and made the Tourney is 14, and those teams are 11/34 (32%) on actually getting in.
So as it is, if Auburn was 19-14, we are looking at them getting in about one third of the time.
A team has never gotten at at-large with 15.
And yet here we are debating whether a team with 16 losses should get in.
The power and influence we have allowed the SEC to have is crazy.
