For those that don’t follow the US team much, in this game we played our B team, whereas Turkey used their best players. The game meant nothing to us, so our starters rested and our coach found out who he could count as subs in future matches. Prior to this game we already knew we won the...

Guess I've bet on Norway winning it all. Specifically, I have a bet with a friend where he took English/Spain/France to win and I have the rest of the field. Outside of that, I think France does end up winning it all, their second string of subs could beat pretty much any team in the field. And...

Call of the day, just wish it was said on July 4th...

I expect Pulisic to play about 20 minutes just to get some touches in a game, but that totally depends on how much he's healed. If he plays, it would be towards the end of the game. Again, for those of you who don't follow soccer, in WC games each team has a total of five subs (six in certain...

Ghana got robbed in the England game - they should have been awarded a PK near the end of the game - clear foul in the box.

And for those who don't really follow the details, our Thursday game has zero bearing on anything. We've already won our group and Turkey is already eliminated from moving on, so winning or losing doesn't impact the standings at all. We will most likely sit all four of our players who already...

In today's games, we want the Qatar vs Bosnia game to not end in a tie. Whichever team wins is the team we'll most likely end up playing in the next round (which I'm hoping is Qatar) with a nice path for future games. If it's a tie, then everything shifts. Also, any of the following players who...

Just read this thread. For all the "no one's going to come to the games" posters, this World Cup will have nearly twice the number of fans as the last one, and over three times the amount of ticket revenue. Way more fans, who are paying higher ticket prices.

He could also head to NJ, where they have about $11M in salary cap to spend. I'm certainly hoping we get the brothers to come here, vs Quinn going there.

The article's locked behind a paywall for me, so couldn't read it. I'll throw another name into the mix for centers, Vitali Pinchuck, formerly of the KHL's Minsk Dynamo and recently signed a 1-year deal with Nashville. We have a few Russian speakers on our team, so I'd think that'd be a bit of...

Resigning Quinn may take pulling his brothers away from Jersey. Jack Hughes: Signed to an 8-year, $64 million contract. It carries an average annual value (AAV) of $8 million and runs through the 2029-30 season. Luke Hughes: Signed to a 7-year, $63 million extension. It carries an AAV of $9...

We don't need a goalie in return. I'm a fan of Hlavaj and also think Mercer is going to work out well. Move Gus to free up cap space (e.g., for Jack Hughes). Move Havaj to the MN roster and give his playing time to Mercer.

The day the music died. This was just posted on https://basilicablockparty.org/. They paused the show in 2025, now it's gone for good. This was one of my favorite venues for music. ... too many regulations killed it.

The Goodfeet people should get him an NIL deal.
