@RickSanchezISU somehow managed to turn an uncontested warmup layup into an hyperextended left knee, a tailbone contusion and bruised ego
She just a big goofy baby giraffe —
If not for her caustic personality, this woman would be adorable
@IndianaFever #5 melanga dribbles off her foot, humiliated, dives to the ground to recover it and takes a 200lb heel kick to the face
Surprised that didn’t KO
Tough girl
@_southy8@TheNotoriousMMA Yes perfect image. Betting on a washed up fighter like Connor after a five year hiatus is in fact just as stupid as lighting your own head on fire
@DrewPavlou Not even close to the worst decision
That ignominious distinction is earned by Cindy Parlow Cone for appointing mauricio pochettino, the most inept coach in Team USA history; failing to prepare the team for Belgium — earning the most pathetic loss in Round of 16 WC History
@NBA__Courtside Imagine Michael Jordan’s accomplishments and stats if he had jumped around the league playing only for superstar loaded front runners with another 21,000 minutes
@NBA__Courtside If you want to weigh successes, Jordan had more.
If you want to weigh failures, LeBron had more
I don’t dock LeBron’s legacy for his failures, as he’s played 20,000 more minutes
But having less success than guy who had only 60% of his opportunities tells it all who’s GOAT
@BrickCenter_ Watching him play versus darryn is night and day in a few key areas
Pace
Control
Handle
Patience
Vision
Footwork
Instincts
Darryn has him beat by a significant margin in all of them
@YeahYeahOkBro Dude is talented but somewhat of a black hole.
Hes gotta find a greater willingness to use his talent to get other guys going or his teams will never gel
@RBizzle7@Balldontlie Nah bud, he’s a big guy with decent handles and excellent footwork who can shoot and read the floor and passes well
That’s a better than average player who is going to play good minutes for a good team
@RBizzle7@Balldontlie Not to split hairs here, but Filipowski would start on many teams in league.
He only played 23 mins per game in his second season
His per 36:
18-11-4
He’s not close to prime and Utah knows what they have with him. His summer league success is not inconsistent with his production
@KylePagan_ It’s simple economics.
If the best american athletes played soccer; the U.S. Team would be top tier every tournament
Alas, American Soccer Leagues pay very little compared to the other Pro Leagues
Until that changes, Team USA will never be true contenders
@BrickCenter_ It goes to show you just how bad USA played when this goalie didn’t even crack top five worst performers
This game was a disgrace unlike USA soccer has ever seen
If the coach isn’t fired by tomorrow morning, Justice will not have been served
@BrickCenter_ He seriously could have tapped this ball in any direction with any foot, and it would have been in USA possession.
Instead, he tries to punt it hard as he can and missed as bad as I’ve ever seen a miss: he managed to drive his kick toe-first directly into the pitch
@MLFootball Belgium; better:
Passing
Defensive positioning
Energy
Tackles
Midfield play
Ball security
Possession
Scoring chances
Pace
Energy
Goalkeeping
and most of all Coaching
FIRE HIM!
No gameplan, and worse, none of the players were prepared to even play this game, let alone compete
