@TolkienWorldG First thought was we'd be getting an England world cup hype video. The heat and elevation (if they play R16 in Mex city) will cause wild complain when football doesn't come home.
@USSoccerColl The tough thing to measure here is that Senegal, while better than our 3 group stage opponents, is playing a style we won't likely see unless teams are down late against us. They go for it.
@LHRTPE@AndreasSteno Fair but systemically they also played not to lose the last 3 months of the year and imo it nearly cost them the title and would have likely had them knocked out of UCL had they been in the top half or had Barca not gotten 2 reds vs athleti.
@LHRTPE@AndreasSteno Their defense deserves its laudits but they scored 5 non penalty goals in 7 UCL knockout round matches (against 6th place German, 2nd place Portuguese, 4th place Spanish sides).
That's why neutrals root against them. No fan wants to watch that even if it works.
@LHRTPE@AndreasSteno Check the xg. Not a perfect measure but for Arsenal to take to pens was a gift in and of itself.
Sure, Arsenal has a great defense but they created nothing and their goal was a fluke
@AndreasSteno Dude is a sick-o if he is telling us he spent the last 72 hours trying to understand what is a penalty incident in the UCL. Who does that?
@AndreasSteno Their path to the final was Leverkusen, Sporting , Atleti. Never been an easier path...and they struggled to get through those teams.
Arteta is anti-football
@AndreasSteno Arsenal are destroying football. Thank goodness their name won't be in the trophy. And thank goodness we didn't have an epl ref to give them penalties that aren't.
@scuffedpod Why should we care? He wants a job after he has no job in a month+. USSF is never going to re-sign him regardless of performance in the world cup.
@usmntonly Good. I'll join a class action.
The whole category system for the early lotteries was a scam. Get people in at the lowest demand tickets within the respective categories.
@KingBanzai1@usmntonly Definitely biased but maybe the case could be made if they said better than Clint's best season.
Mane, Hazard, Ozil, Robinho may have had better numbers in their best season but could they have done Clint's numbers at Fulham? 17 and 6 playing often out of midfield was wild.
@daldevs@herculezg I didn't say he said anything wrong and said it's a nice action. I just disdain when politicians use celebrity as pawns for their own brand. It's a very bi partisan thing to leverage celebrity for their own egos. More about how Mamdani and Trump love putting players in their aura
@hoagieguruce@herculezg This is slanderous. I said nothing bad about the mayor or Tim other than that this is what politicians do. Latch onto anything that helps their image. The same game played by everyone. Photo op with random people lauding their greatness.
