@CBQ98 @Pink_Susie Tell me you don’t know what you’re talking about without telling me you don’t know what you’re talking about.

@Tips_and_tweets @Donovan3182 @yscentral @ChuckMe92Soccer @Silly__Jilly The thing is that Pulisic is a winger. Cavan is a 10 because of his vision. He isn’t as fast as Pulisic but he’s as quick with better vision and creativity when he was that age. But I know fuck all too so yeah lol

16 U.S Eligible Teenagers Who Could Make The 2030 World Cup Roster:

1. Julian Hall

The New York Red Bulls center forward leads the team in goals this year and was just selected for the MLS All Star Game ✨

[Carli Lloyd @CarliLloyd]

I don’t owe anyone an apology. My comment wasn’t about his post game interview. He skipped Gold Cup last summer because he wanted to rest and be ready for WC. He ended up resting the whole year. That’s the facts. Nothing personal against him.

@kyochan_fr @CuiBono1984 @charise_lee The entire planet? I just showed you a premier league ref saying it wasn’t a red. Thierry Henry said it wasn’t a red, Zlatan, wtf are you smoking? Y’all just want to hate America lol

@kyochan_fr @CuiBono1984 @charise_lee Trust me I got the receipts. But all the Euro folk wanted to act like the US was the enemy when a ton of us

1. Didn’t interfere
2. Don’t like Trump either
3. Recognize that this was an unfairly given red card considering it wasn’t even a foul in the field

[Mark Valorian @markvalorian]

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.

@ItsClassified_1 @usmntonly Let’s not go that far. And I criticize him too.

[Bobby @clarkfromcali]

@bgpeters22 @HampissLindholm @ItsBroMigo @MicheleG3 Except he was. He played one good 45 minute half and then came on as a sub to get game time against Türkiye. He was a non factor in the Bosnia game and even more so against Belgium.

This is fair criticism. It comes with being the face of a team in professional sports.

[11 Yanks @11Yanks]

The criticism of Pulisic is not due to one interviews. It's a series of things.

1. Skipping the Gold Cup to "rest"
2. Being arrogant when criticized about it. "I'll just score a goal and everything will be fine"
3. Underperforming for the last 2 years
4. Playing hero ball too much & too often
5. Disappearing in big, high-pressure moments

[Bobby @clarkfromcali]

@offensivesigh @Geopcalypse202X @Patman50001 @StickyEggz @charise_lee All red cards should be up for appeal by a committee. A ref has too much power and can be involved in match fixing otherwise.

The game should always have the best of both teams playing each other. Full stop

Nah bro, been a huge fan of yours for a while Christian but a simple story repost of the USMNT on insta isn’t going to cut it 🤣 either get off socials for a bit (probably smart) or apologize

@ILikeSports101 @wakeupbarstool Life long Bears fan who watches every game, past he’s every round of the draft, and listens to Bears podcasts…

I’m taking a World Cup win 11/10 times.

[Bobby @clarkfromcali]

@SxAshish @McConaughey @FIFAWorldCup And yet, there was not this much outrage by any pundits when the same thing happened for Ronaldo when he was saved for the group stage matches using this very rule.

It should matter if it was the right call. Just because the ref fucked up doesn’t mean you should sit and take it.

[Bobby @clarkfromcali]

@Flip_S04 @Bubblebathgirl @McConaughey @FIFAWorldCup Obviously. But let’s not act like Belgium is leagues above the U.S. team. If that controversy never happened I think the score line looks different. The U.S. beat themselves as much as Belgiam beat the U.S. that said they were outclassed

[Bobby @clarkfromcali]

@DJHadersPhD @noting014 @ProspectsUsmnt Pro/rel is coming to the USL in 2028. Hopefully that means more clubs with academy investment.

And MLS needs to stop with this closed system nonsense

[Bobby @clarkfromcali]

@maxarsenalfc @DandMussoccer Idk. What I do know is that the talent level has improved over the last decade and is continuing to improve. Soccer is becoming more popular in America and pro/rel is coming to the USL. Which means more academy’s and better talent coming through. Saying there’s no hope is false.

[Bobby @clarkfromcali]

@GooseHowards @Geopcalypse202X @Patman50001 @StickyEggz @charise_lee No we’re talking about red cards affecting World Cup games. Article 27 saved Ronaldo from missing out group stage games in the World Cup. It’s literally the same shit. Except Balogun should have never received a red card.
