@CF_Budge Michigan and Ohio State should be flipped: Ohio State has more natties than Michigan (Germany has more WC titles than than France). We a special shoutout for Italy; elite but recently fallen on hard times: Florida

[Eric Allard @allard_dr]

@animun_online The state has 11 million people…so, yeah, this makes sense.

@TGina3147 @gtconway3d 1.) Obama didn’t stage endless fawning rallies.
2.) Obama had competent people running his security detail.

@MartinoPooch If they can overcome Ronaldo and Roberto Martinez, Portugal can take it. But those are big ifs.

[Eric Allard @allard_dr]

@CFC_Dubois That midfield is leading them to the World Cup, not “2003 Wizards Michael Jordan” over here.

[Eric Allard @allard_dr]

@KuKhahil It is a good look, but his percentages from that range and beyond this series is atrocious. He had a play earlier in the game where pump faked and finished cleanly at the lane. That would’ve been the better shot here.

[Eric Allard @allard_dr]

@_leeescobedo In the Pop coaching tree, his closest comp may be Budenholzer (but I think he has a chance to be much better given that he took less time to elevate to a top job).

[Eric Allard @allard_dr]

@chillbutvibrant @_leeescobedo Agreed. The hot take adjustment would be to actually start Fox and Harper and bring Castle off the bench as a destroyer on the second unit (and still have him available to close out the game).

[Eric Allard @allard_dr]

@_leeescobedo I think Mitch is a good coach, but he is young and naive (just like his roster). He is going to have growing pains. We cannot expect him to have it all figured out as he finishes his (essentially) second year at the helm.

@FlackJimmmy @TheFootyFeed And Denis Law

[Eric Allard @allard_dr]

@FlackJimmmy @TheFootyFeed And obviously Denis Irwin.

[Eric Allard @allard_dr]

@_leeescobedo He will not want to disrupt what he believes got him here and assume that these two games in SA were an aberration rather than a trend. I’m not he is right, but that’s what he will believe.

@UrbanExplorer00 And just a day after the stadium’s major tenet announced they are fucking off to Indiana. I hate my country on so many levels.

[Eric Allard @allard_dr]

@Cgoodwin188 Ummm…8 of the 16 stadiums used for the tournament have artificial turf that need temp grass installed.

[Eric Allard @allard_dr]

@DarkBenf @UtdChulo And Vitinha, Ramos, and Neves were on the bench for Portugal. Hence, they have “shown up.”

[Eric Allard @allard_dr]

@DarkBenf @UtdChulo Players who played in the UCL final who played friendlies in the past few days: Trossard, Havertz, Marquinhos, Martinelli, Gyokeres, Zaire-Emery, Barcola.

[Eric Allard @allard_dr]

@Tre_Potts He low key should be playing somewhat like Bruce Bowen. He should not be playmaking, and he should not be handling the ball unless he is open in the corner. He should be crashing offensive boards and go wild on defense. Thats how he can thrive.
