Chelsea's net spend is an interesting hill to die upon.You're right. The whole time, you were right. Way to be.
You, and a few others were pedantic (and incorrect) about one small aspect of the many different things I said when discussing Mourinho and Tottenham. I mentioned it once. Then I responded to the repeated posts that were directed at me about it. Few of the same people were interested in discussing the value of Net Spending, or any of the many other aspects of the Mourinho/Tottenham topic.All of you took one small aspect of a topic and elevated its importance to make it the only thing...and, were wrong about it. That’s on you, not me.It's okay to be wrong, and it's okay to not know something. (I didn't know where MU's latest recruiting target was committing, and was unsure about the UCLA game's broadcast etc...in just the past 24 hours) But if you are going to intentionally misrepresent someone else, despite evidence to the contrary, that's different.
It's on us cause you said "spend" and not "net spend"?
Shootblanks is right.He's my new hero.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
When running out of valid points to make, let's try to disparage someone's name or username. When it fails, and one still doesn't have a valid point to make, let's repeat it in case the person missed it. And when all else fails, let's sarcastically praise the person. I'm happy to discuss anything of soccer value with regard to Mourinho and Tottenham, or something else soccer related. OrSeattle's exciting 3 goal come back in the final 20 minutes, sparked by Will Bruin etc...to advance to the finals over Minnesota. OrUtah Royals disbanding in the NWSL and a new Kansas City Women's team taking their place.
PSG v Istanbul Basaksehir delayed because of reported racial abuse from an official towards a Basaksehir assistant coach. Crazy if true, and props for both teams for uniting.
Glad to see both teams willing to walk off, especially in a CL match, due to real or perceived racism. Teams had concerns about risking forfeit in the past.But, it looks to be a different language thing than a truly racist statement. Inappropriate to call a coach "that black guy" or "negru" in Romanian, especially for an official.
https://twitter.com/si_soccer/status/1339298276709953537Somewhat gifted to him, but still a nice finish. Really hope he can settle in after dealing with all the injury setbacks he's had recently. Still only 20, and I would think he's more than capable of grabbing a spot for the '22 WC. I'm also seeing rumors that Juve are going to make McKennie's loan permanent, with a deal around 23 mil. Not overly surprising given his age and current level of production. He seems to be getting on well with Pirlo too.
Still lacking any faith in GREGGGGG, but can’t be more bullish on the talent on the squad.
IMO 2022 is all about getting experience for the core. Hopefully advance from the group, and who knows what happens in the KO round. Almost don't want to go too far bc then they'll extend Gregg.My eye has always been on 2026. We're hosting, and the list of names that will be in their prime is quite staggering. Next coaching hire will probably be the most important one in USSF history, and given that talent, hopefully we'll be able to go big game hunting.Edit: Couldn't help myself. In 2026, the USMNT could feature:Christian Pulisic-27Gio Reyna-23Tim Weah-26Chris Richards-26Weston McKennie-27Tyler Adams-27Josh Sargent-26Zach Steffen-31 (totally fine for a keeper)Sergino Dest-25Antonee Robinson-28Ulysses Llanez-25Konrad de le Fuente-25Yunus Musah (assuming we can keep him)-24I'm sure I'm missing some, and new kids we've never heard of yet will pop onto the radar, but that's about 1 CB short of a legit squad in their prime. Playing on home soil, we could be very dangerous.
Candidates for 2026?#1 is probably Marsch, right?
At least right now yes. Without giving too much away, I know someone that is close with the Marsch family, and he suggested that Jesse doesn't really have any interest in the job, at least right now. Now this info is second or third hand, and about 5 months old, so take it fwiw, but apparently he isn't thrilled at the way the USSF is run, and I can't really blame him. Obviously subject to change in the coming years, and I'm sure there will be other names thrown about, and he will still at least get a call post '22 WC, but I know he got a call pre Gregg, and pretty much said "thanks, but no thanks".
Marsch's career path is looking pretty darn fine right now. Why f*ck that up by coaching the USMNT?
Glory of leading usmnt to a world cup win?
Which isn't very likely, and in the meantime he'd have to deal with the headache of working with the USSF instead of in one of Europe's top 4 leagues.You do realize the top managers in the world aren't working for national teams right?
