@TalkSoccer This is what frustrates me. Should have at least been a yellow. That Flo’s was the first card of the game is just a travesty with some of the stuff BH was getting away with in the first half
@dabearsblog To imagine that was the first card of the match after Adams gets tackled in the 1st half and Pulisic was literally pulled down 10 yards from the ref. Just a terrible official.
@BornOnThirdCubs Too thin in back and their keeper is not regarded as particularly strong. It will depend a lot on matchups TBH but they could make the quarters if they draw the right matchups but more likely they’ll get bounced in the round of 16.
@Ecnerwal23 *raises hand* Also, this WC has been really great so far. Late scores to tie the game, great individual performances by great players, fantastic drama. And it is only the opening round 😳
As an American, I never thought I’d write this: I’m turning back to the #worldcup since I understand the rules better than watching @NBA basketball these days.
@franklinleonard Overlapping runs, wing backs make beautiful through balls, strikers with off foot highlight goals, trivela goals in the last minute by bench players? Don’t wake me from this dream!
@franklinleonard@Ankaman616 US defense is thin and its GK is super scary, but to see a competent offensive strategy employing more than a hope and a prayer is a very nice development 😳
The @NBA makes zero sense to me. Wemby grabs KAT. Not only is it not a foul on him it’s a foul on KAT. I miss the 90s. It was near assault on a possession-by-possession basis, but at least it was understandable
@79thAndHalas The arrogance of Illinois politicians on this is impressive and really tone deaf. At some point, you have to assume the other guy playing cards isn’t bluffing and your two pair might not win.
@jon_greenberg Soldier Field is an inconvenient dump? Terrible parking, terrible to get in and out of, poor amenities, even poorer bathrooms, overly small, not close to public transit. Need I go on?
@jus10chi Because they are stupid. Because they are scared after Sox debacle. Because Chicago is butt hurt about losing the team to AH and instead they’d rather FAFO and lose the team to N. Indiana. But at least Reinsdorf got two stadiums for free in the 90s …
@keithedwards It’s not hard. Democrats are expected to be perfect and Republicans are allowed to be crazy. What is inconsistent or difficult to understand? 🙄
