@GrindingJoe@mrfantastic08@JackMac That is the most mind blowing part.
Like the argument is since freese effed it up first and slightly worse, it removes all blame from anyone else.
I personally think the blame on Xtian is a tad too much for this goal, but i wouldnt neccessarily defend him either.
@barryswtchemdwn@mrfantastic08@JackMac Exactly!
5 different guys butchered that first allowed goal in various manners. But when critiquing one you cant just say "well 4 other guys blah blah blah." Each gets their own blame.
And more than enough blame pie to go around for multiple guys to get smacked with a slice.
@ESPNMcGee@MedcalfByESPN Not trying to be a dick or snarky...but if i use one of these audible monthly credit things, do you get full boat on that?
Still have @kysportsradio kycounty book "bought" that way n waiting to try
Let’s clear this up a little bit. Yes, Toyota is moving some Tacoma production to Texas.
Temporarily.
They are moving it from their Baja, California plant over to Texas while they continue upgrades to their newer plant in Guanajuato, Mexico.
This is not permanent. It’s literally just a layover. While some Tacoma production will stay it Texas, it’ll move back to mostly Mexico when upgrades are finished.
The approximately 2,000 jobs this will bring is not even a dent in the 400,000 we’ve lost since Trump was elected.

@ESPNMcGee@MedcalfByESPN When <googling ryan mcgee> goes wrong.....
WHAT? Wait just a second....
Did you really almost find the pearly gates via soft serve ice cream machine???? Please tell me this is real..... 😆
@NinevehCards@ScottFriedman3 People in the large seller program write the rules that everyone else has to play by...while they often do their own thing like they own the site...in my experience
@RK8884915098834@aofarre@nickbateman33 That is what is most maddening. Id like to find a slow mo one shot of what he was doing from the moment freese stubs his toe.
He had at least 2.5 to 3 secs to turn himself and get square/big. That should be enough time
@LtDansLegs2020@nickbateman33 There was that giant goofy australian with two left feet that would like a word. That dude looks like he cant walk a straight line on his best day
@jv707@nickbateman33 Why was he trying to kick at it? What am i not understanding? As soon as he sees Freese become frozen, dont you just square yourself off to make yourself big?
What the fuck is kicking at it supposed to do.
This ball ending up in the net is somehow both 100% Matt Freese’s fault and 100% Tim Ream’s fault
Possibly the most unathletic moment in sports history
In Germany, a talented 14-year-old earns his club money. In America, his parents pay the club $15,000 a year.
That single inversion explains why "we will not" is the most accurate line ever written about US soccer.
FIFA built a global system for this. Training compensation and solidarity payments send a cut of every transfer fee back to the clubs that developed the player, from age 12 onward. Develop one future pro and your academy gets paid for a decade. Barcelona's La Masia, Ajax, every Bundesliga academy runs on this logic. The kid is the asset.
US Soccer refuses to enforce those rules. When Seattle's Crossfire Premier claimed its $60,000 share of DeAndre Yedlin's transfer to Tottenham, it got nothing. Claims on the Dempsey and Bradley transfers died partly because the federation couldn't even produce the youth training records.
So American clubs earn zero dollars when a kid turns pro. They earn when a kid enrolls. Which makes the parent the customer, and the product is whatever keeps the parent writing checks: travel tournaments, hotel weekends, $500 showcase events, private training at $100 an hour. Elite pathways run $8,000 to $20,000 a year. A comparable academy spot in Italy costs about 120 euros.
Follow the incentive one level deeper and it gets darker. A club dependent on fees can't cut its weakest paying players, so rosters optimize for retention over development. The scouting pool shrinks to families who can afford the cliff, which appears around age 11, exactly when development matters most. The country runs a talent filter sorted by household income instead of ability.
Every four years someone proposes fixing this. The proposal always requires the people profiting from the $15,000 model to vote themselves out of business.
They will not.
@JezziiB@Pegster99 Dasha and her hubby, now-sanctioned Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich sailed their yacht into New York Harbor and went to the hospital there to deliver their anchor baby.
Then you see her hanging out with Ivanka.
Where is the outrage?

No objection from Trumpty or Stephen Miller.
Wealthy Russian women frequently travel to South Florida for "birth tourism," paying for packages of up to $75,000+ that include short-term rentals in luxury Trump-branded properties—such as Trump Palace, Trump Royale, and Trump Towers in Sunny Isles Beach—to secure U.S. citizenship for their babies.
Karoline Leavitt thinks Gen Z just needs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and marry a 60-year old New Hampshire real estate developer/resort landlord who you meet during your failed congressional run.
Stop whining. Start Dining!
The irony of Trump calling FIFA to overturn
a red card for Balogun because he knows the U.S. can’t win without Balogun, who only qualifies for the U.S. team because of birthright citizenship, which Trump just tried to overturn.
