Patriot first, right-libertarian second.
Both parties suck. Data is my specialty. Sports Nut. RT ≠ Endorsement. Disagreement ≠ Hate. Say It With Ya Chest!
@MasterMaliq@USAWorstGayEver No. Own it. Islam is a death cult obsessed with destruction of anything that is not in complete alignment with itself. As nice as it would be, there is II such thing as a “good” or “nice” Muslim.
@Zugetsui7@walkonredshirts Agree, as long as this isn’t coming from a standpoint of failing to recognize that the schedule may well be significantly stronger than some may think, and similar shade is thrown at other contenders with notably weaker schedules.
Can we just finish Iran already? Why do they have any SAM or radar sites left at this point? Turn the backwards goatfuckers into obsidian glass without delay. Iran and Islam remain incompatible with normal, functioning society.
@USMNTCORNER Love seeing a good number of potential quality options at center back and defensive positions. If the midfield and forwards can be or grow to be 1v1 winners, we may be in business.
@CrimsonCast The US has been struggling to field competent defenders for the better part of the last 15-20 years. It’s a problem US Soccer needs to solve before returning to this stage.
A critical element that the "rulebook purists" arguing Balogun deserved a red card are conveniently overlooking:
BALOGUN was the one who was challenged from behind.
The Bosnian player played *through* Balogun from behind and placed himself in the path of Balogun's natural step.
When he begins taking that step, Balogun has no idea the Bosnian player would even be in front of him. In that sense, you can't really even consider his move a "challenge." It was simply a step that incidentally landed in the same place the opponent's foot did.
In fact, the reason Balogun's step came down so hard is *because* the Bosnian player challenged into him and knocked him off balance.
This is not "reckless" or "excessive force" by any stretch of the imagination.
The red card was *obviously* unjustified from the outset. The only thing FIFA got wrong here is not immediately suspending the red card after the match.
@the5starflop@Moopy_Williams@SECBarstool I understand what you’re thinking, but neither of them have ever sniffed something like making it out of the group at a WC. I don’t think App State applies (but anyone beating Mich. is ok in my book). I’m more inclined to give you ‘21 Cincinnati. Good team smashed by a big boy.
