@elidourado Only player in the squad to score in the Ro16 of WC.
Pepi has been disappointing so far, but I don't actually think Haji would be any better. Unfortunately there's just a huge fall off after Balo and he also can't play Monday.
@BelittleMyTakes@mattyglesias Ohhh, got it. I agree it wasn't that salient in 2020 compared to 2016 and 2024.
Sure, I'm down to have MY write a book about Dems weakest issue every 4 years.
@BelittleMyTakes@mattyglesias Who are "people"?
Republicans and Indies seemed to care a lot in 2024.
Maybe Dems cared less, but that apathy presented itself as total acquiescence to the groups, lax enforcement and deprioritization of addressing an issue to that bit them bad in 2024.
@elidourado I think I would actually be okay with this.
But if Gio can go 60 I wonder if his creativity might be more helpful in breaking down Australia's low block than a second striker who might struggle to get service.
@LMandrakeJr@JimPethokoukis The best club teams are a tier above the best national teams.
1. Even the best national teams are gonna lack depth in certain positions, that club teams address with recruiting.
2. National teams have very little time to practice as a unit, so their schemes are simpler
@elidourado I'm kind of surprised by the reaction to the Germany game as a moral victory for USA.
Our only shot on target in the first half was amazing, but not repeatable.
I guess it's easy enough to tell yourself that we win 1-0 if a healthy Richards starts in place of Miles.
@besttrousers@BobMurphyEcon So what would be the right way to try to understand the gender pay gap?
Men working jobs with more hours and higher physical risk feels consistent with what we know about gender preferences and also something I think most would agree in a normative sense justifies higher pay.
@besttrousers@BobMurphyEcon Like is the explanation that we can't measure talent so when we control for things like occupation, we're failing to capture that systemic discrimination against women results in women having above average talent in higher paying male dominate fields?
@besttrousers@BobMurphyEcon Hi Matt, maybe I'm being dense, but for me the Actress Attractiveness/Talent example with the scatterplot is much easier to understand than the more jargon-y "backdoor path" letter and arrow diagram.
Is there a way to describe the mechanics more simply than the textbook?
@elidourado@ManagerTactical Yeah, I honestly think his play has been fine-ish. Gotten sort of unlucky not to score at all this year.
But if we're gonna make a run we need our good players to be better than fine.
