@Dodgers @timcates @TarikSkubal @Theoldp @PetrosAndMoney Pingaling came through!

[Erik @Gonzaga2004]

@GoodmanHoops What ncaa rules?

[Erik @Gonzaga2004]

@JonRothstein @PetrosAndMoney @Theoldp @SweetJames Sweet James - the dense beard of justice - doing some great work!

[Erik @Gonzaga2004]

@JacksonOnRadio Like watching US vs Belgium all over again 😱

[Erik @Gonzaga2004]

@markkiszla Agreed. But disagree that D1 soccer is goal nowadays. The best are at the MLS or other leagues across the world academies. To me the argument about development is so difficult. Does anyone think AAU is good for basketball? It’s awful or the same as pay to play soccer

[Erik @Gonzaga2004]

@ClayTravis You think this doesn’t happen in baseball and basketball? This is not a soccer problem.

[Erik @Gonzaga2004]

@reformussoccer Never going to happen because of $. If it didn’t exist in other leagues when $ wasn’t a thing it would not exist today. This is NOT an American issue.

[Erik @Gonzaga2004]

@zagsgotdudes Here is the best Zag example - Baylor - zags 2021 natty. You think zags couldn’t play basketball? It’s the same thing. Evenly matched teams and one didn’t show up and the other one did.

[Erik @Gonzaga2004]

@zagsgotdudes But your Americans cannot play stuff is infuriating.

[Erik @Gonzaga2004]

@zagsgotdudes Lucky to be where? We earned that spot and who cares about favored. I’m agree we played a bad game. To say we are in a different class is ignorant. Against France or Spain? Sure. Aging Belgium? The right way to frame this is we played like crap yesterday.

[Erik @Gonzaga2004]

@AndyGlockner You summed that up well. So much fun leading up and what a collapse. Took my family to the game and it was a ton of fun but what a bummer. I guess that’s sports though. Remember as a kid watching the 55-10 beat down by the 49ers as a young broncos fan…good days are ahead!!!

[Erik @Gonzaga2004]

@markkiszla Algeria. 2010.

[Erik @Gonzaga2004]

@zagsgotdudes Bad game. But why are you hating! I’m a zag….thats like saying the 2008-2014 zags were crap too. Look - we are underdogs and today we crapped the bed. But this team can play with anyone and take the game to them and if you can’t see that you don’t know soccer

[Erik @Gonzaga2004]

@markkiszla Would love it. But you don’t know sh*t about soccer. Love your stuff overall. I’m a Colorado kid and remember reading growing up. I’m just saying you don’t know soccer. Pulisic didn’t rise to the challeng this cup. Most overrated? Please…

[Erik @Gonzaga2004]

@zagsgotdudes Why do you hate?

[Erik @Gonzaga2004]

@AndyGlockner Thinking the same thing…but this 11 is tight knit and playing great. Assume you want to start off with that and the make adjustments versus vice a versa

[Erik @Gonzaga2004]

@VanLathan Follow a local MLS team - LAFC or Galaxy. Or Seattle Sounders like me if you want more info. It’s like finding a college team - try to have a connection. Good luck!

[Erik @Gonzaga2004]

@VanLathan Agreed both - but Brazil is not the same as they’ve been in past cups
