Paraguay no merece ni medio elogio. Una cosa es ser defensivo, meter pierna y competir con garra; otra muy distinta es ser marrullero, tramposo y jugar al límite de la agresión con la venia del árbitro.
Hoy tenían que acabar con 9, mínimo. Inexplicable que se fueran sin una amarilla. Y lo peor: ni perdiendo intentaron jugar fútbol.
Ayer Cabo Verde dio una lección de fútbol defensivo digno. Lo de Paraguay hoy fue basura competitiva, sostenida por el peor arbitraje de este Mundial.
Hand up — I was dead wrong about Poch. He’s stylistically turned this USMNT team into his best Tottenham sides. High pressing, high energy, and a pain to defend against.
Was worried that he wouldn’t be focused and was already onto the next gig, but he’s having a tactical masterclass out there.
(And spare me the BuT iTs JuSt PaRaGuAy AnD AuStRaLiA crap…I’ve seen half of these players fail to qualify bc they wouldn’t win in Trinidad)
Weston Mckennie is our most in form player. I think it is more important to play him in the front 3 with Balogun and Pulisic as I think that is his best position
So here is my lineup for the USMNT this summer:
GK- Freese
LWB- Jedi Robinson
LCB- Ream
CB- Richards (if healthy)
RCB- Freeman
RWB- Weah
CDM- Adams
CM- Dest
LAM- Pulisic
RAM- Weston
ST- Balogun
Joe Burrow has thrown his support behind Zac Taylor, and the #Bengals have listened to him.
Continuity is the first buzz word of the offseason. Ball Don't Lie is out now!

Two unpopular opinions on the Minneapolis shooting:
1. The woman who died was at fault. She was acting erratically, inserted herself into a dangerous situation, and behaved in a way that put both herself and others at serious risk.
2. The ICE agent acted on instinct and fired too quickly. He should not have escalated to lethal force in that moment. We need full body cam footage to understand exactly what he perceived, but based on the video available, it does not appear his life was in immediate danger as the vehicle was moving away.
The left is already calling this blatant murder.
The right is already claiming the woman was trying to kill the agent.
Neither narrative is accurate.
The woman who died acted dangerously and recklessly, and the ICE agent drew and fired his weapon too fast.
If both sides don’t pause the political posturing and focus on de-escalation, Minneapolis is headed toward another night of chaos just like George Floyd.
ICE should temporarily pull back from the community, and leaders on the left need to clearly and forcefully call for calm and nonviolence.
There’s almost no chance both of those things happen, which means this situation will likely get ugly and Minneapolis could burn again.
I know this take won’t make me popular with either side but it’s just my initial thoughts on situation.
CJ Stroud on if God is blessing the Texans because of their testimony:
“I don’t want it to ever be confused, I don’t think God is like ‘the Texans are gunna win.’, but I think regardless, win or loss he gets the glory, and that’s up to us, that’s just worship. Him giving us our talents, abilities, & these jobs, he’s more than worthy of all the worship is really why we do what we do. It’s not because we want favor from the lord. In my opinion, you don’t just get favor from the lord just because you give him glory, he deserves it. It’s not because we follow Jesus that we win every game.”
