@Castellani2014 Yep. Same swing he got the double with.

@1stOhioBattery Clearly not good enough. Waiting for very average young players to get miraculously better with age is not a winning strategy. The problem isn’t lack of effort, it’s lack of talent - all over the ice. It’s tough to coach mediocrity.

[RockOPFD @HoneDennis]

@mark_scheig @TheUBSoldiers Their lack of discipline is simply the result of a lack of talent and skill. Let’s face it. Being outplayed at every position on every line/pairing vs the Panthers (and every other playoff team) is no accident.

@AudreyHassonTV What a masterpiece by the pitching staff!

[RockOPFD @HoneDennis]

@F1RETHECANNON Rough. From the thrill of a goalie goal to the agony of a season ending injury.

[RockOPFD @HoneDennis]

@ohiosportsshark @GeoffreyM96 @DIRECTV I’ve been a loyal @DIRECTV customer since 1997. That’s about to change if they don’t start showing the games soon.

[RockOPFD @HoneDennis]

@JacobsFieldRBW Falling face first to start the inning didn’t help him.

[RockOPFD @HoneDennis]

@DIRECTVhelp The problem is: I’m unable to watch my local team on DIRECTV, like I’ve been able to do for the last 25 years. Please fix it.

[RockOPFD @HoneDennis]

@DIRECTVhelp It won’t be blacked out for me in the local Columbus market??

[RockOPFD @HoneDennis]

@ColoradoOhio @Crew96Times Referees should start whistling the ball in play for the 2nd half on time - with or without Miami on the field. That’s the only way to put a stop to it.

[RockOPFD @HoneDennis]

@UnionAndBlue I’d rather keep Heinen over Wood or LDBB

[RockOPFD @HoneDennis]

@RealDanyHeatley The only concern is the obvious lack of depth

[RockOPFD @HoneDennis]

@ClarkyD69 @_Pat_Murphy He actually quit DURING that coaching job.

[RockOPFD @HoneDennis]

@workinferg @JerodNBC4 Not nearly enough!

[RockOPFD @HoneDennis]

@DeryBrosPod I’d say it’s time for a “players only” meeting.
If only we had any…..

[RockOPFD @HoneDennis]

@MattFinkes Belgium is clearly a better team, but the U.S. couldn’t have played worse tonight. The mistakes were mostly unforced. Kindergarten level.

[RockOPFD @HoneDennis]

@JerodNBC4 Men vs boys. And tonight we looked like LITTLE boys. Too many horrible mistakes. Never were in it. Was fun while it lasted.

[RockOPFD @HoneDennis]

@jacksonkeeeeee @usmntonly If only he had stopped at that. Maybe try scoring a goal and not losing by 3 before you tell everyone you were the better side.

[RockOPFD @HoneDennis]

Well said. A yellow for sure; no way a red.

[DENZO FC @Denzo_R2]

Folarin Balogun on his controversial red card against Bosnia, questioning the referee and VAR:

🗣️ “I cannot accept that decision. I've watched the replay over and over, and I know in my heart there was never any intention to hurt anyone. It was a football action, nothing more. To send me off for that is one of the harshest decisions I've experienced in my career.”

“What's frustrating isn't just the red card it's the inconsistency. Week after week, challenge after challenge, we've all seen similar incidents judged differently. Sometimes VAR says it's football, sometimes it becomes a straight red. How are players supposed to understand the rules when the standard changes every game?”

“The referee had one look. VAR had every angle, slow motion, every replay imaginable, and they still chose the harshest possible outcome. That's the part I cannot understand. Technology was introduced to remove obvious mistakes, not to create even bigger controversies.”

“This decision didn't just punish me. It punished my teammates, my coaches, every supporter wearing a USA shirt and everyone who travelled to support us. One whistle changed an entire World Cup night, and that's something impossible to forget.”

“If football wants players and fans to respect VAR, then VAR has to start respecting football. Consistency isn't optional it's the foundation of fairness. Right now, too many careers, tournaments and dreams are being decided by officials instead of the football itself.”

“I'll accept responsibility when I'm wrong. But I will never stay silent when I believe the game has been let down. Players deserve clarity, supporters deserve honesty, and this tournament deserves officiating that applies the same standard to everyone not different standards depending on the badge you wear.”
