@coach_dad_pgh@MarkMaddenX FIFA is a notoriously corrupt governing body, so their statement carries little weight. The intervention (a fact, many outlets have reported on it like WSJ) shouldn’t be needed. It’s frustrating that FIFA are so incompetent and now the US players have to bear the brunt of it.
@MarkMaddenX MM do you think a league/federation has an obligation to correct things like this that are incorrect? Nobody thought it was a red to begin with, so why is correcting the mistake so egregious? For two days the vast majority of US and international media panned the red card…
@databallr Interesting analysis no doubt. I wonder though whether the central assumption - that he needs to be the/an offensive engine - is off. The names listed in the TS% and TO% comps all carry the expectation of being the team’s alpha. In Philly, that’s Maxey…JB is an A+ 2nd/3rd option
@iamrahstradamus The vast majority of Philly athletes live in South Jersey or on the Mainline. True on the crime and poverty in the city, but plenty of superstars have made it work. Charles Barkley spends half his year in his suburban PA mansion, and Avalon/Stone Harbor beaches = elite wealth

@MarkMaddenX Dear Mark. The term “soccer” is unquestionably British from the 1800s. It was developed to differentiate from rugby football, which was established before soccer. Love when someone who claims to love the game knows surface-level history of it. As you would say - “cheers” lol
@DBro_FFB Can you elaborate on why you think FCS QBs translate? The most successful in the modern FCS is Joe Flacco. Wentz and Lance busted as top picks aka their prospect grades were suspect, Garrapolo is probably next most successful after Flacco. Feels like mostly projecting hope
@iw1nagain@LesBowen Not a Dallas fan. Just pointing out the bad argument…hate watching the Cowboys and yelling at the tv about the refs is 🤌🤌🤌 coping for fans of the defending SB champs. Maybe that school on the news w/ Dallas punching bags has extras available
@MarkMaddenX What an incredible red herring response. Last night has nothing to do with a potential relocation, particularly because it was a road game. Irrelevant but hilarious data point
