@ManagerTactical Yes, I would retain Poch. The Round of 16 failure against Belgium was more the players than tactics or preparation. He has changed the culture of USMNT for the better. The style of play has been a great improvement from years past.
Great catch! This is bad…@Sothebys, please remove this article and highlight an actual “game-worn” jersey collector. Looks like the author confused NBA “Champion” jerseys (as in the inexpensive, mass produced retail brand name sold at @Walmart ) with actual championship game-worn jerseys.
@WolverineCorner Good analogy! Would add, though, that Whitt's talented younger coordinator (whoever he decides on) will be more equivalent to Dusty May--someone without much head coaching experience.
Great hire given the circumstances! Whitt has the experience, authority, and leadership to re-stabilize the program for a few years. He will also be very motivated, as Utah pushed him out. Now, the key is to hire talented, high-potential coordinators with one able to take over as head coach once he retires.
As we enter 2026, @USMNT is heading in the right direction. I look forward to the @FIFAWorldCup! Before the October and November camps, we were not so sure. Looks like Coach Poch was playing 4D chess all along. Let's see how he can continue, still a long way to go...
@11Yanks In the end, I do not think his final roster will be too different from what fans expect. He just wants to see if he can come up with a roster and mentality better from Berhalter’s go-to. He is playing General Manager not just coach. Not saying right move; just figuring out why
@goatcollect The 3rd HR was caught in the stands with clear video evidence. 3rd HR ball will for sure surpass $270K. Market value at $2M is reasonable. But how much it actually goes will depend on the auction house. Goldin > SCP for example.
@goatcollect Agreed! Tokenization>Fractional shares. Tokenization is the future. But it will be challenging and take time. Unlike real estate, sports collectibles offer no cash flow and have volatile, sentiment-based valuations.
@goatcollect@CNBC Good segment by @CNBC! @KenGoldin is a good representative for growing sports collectibles. But he needs to be selective about partners and collectibles. Ken's marketing and inclusion for Logan Paul's Pokémon card is not good, given the card's cloud of fraud and grading issues.
@goatcollect@ABC7 MLB needs absolute line of sight to authenticate. They have a system for milestone games, like Ohtani 50/50 HR ball. They place invisible pre-marked balls into play. If fan catches ball, MLB can still authenticate even if fan places in pocket. Non-milestone games would be hard.

@11Yanks The alternative plan would be to quickly pick top players through pre-Poch gameplay results and have those top players play together as much as possible to build cohesion. But Poch wants to see these players himself.
@FDG_Hunter_T Gannon just too strong! Paul playing solid. But pretty much as good as he can this year. Gannon can play even better and has more scoring opportunities. His Hole 1 and Hole 16 eagle chances are game changers.
@FDG_Hunter_T Eveliina: courses too challenging for her to out throw the field to compensate poor putting. Silva & Holyn: their usual driving accuracy not there. Missy: R1 Hole 16 with the 14. Missy should be proud for grinding back to a Top 10 finish.
@Brodiesmith21 Thoughts on paradox of an easy tournament course and the high difficulty in winning such course. With score separation so small, winning requires no room for error, a tough feat. At the same time, an easy course results in less elite skill implementation and strategic diversity.
