RE: Generic soccer thread
@rockchalkjayhawk dont you know, we only have 4 centerbacks in the United States? Ridiculous.
We played ok.
If this was an interview for Thierry Henry as usmnt coach, he passed!

RE: Dream Team 2024 vs 1992
@Texas-Hawk-10 interesting… this guy answers my speculation. domestic PER is still higher. Its the top international talent, not the mean, that is great:

RE: Dream Team 2024 vs 1992
@Texas-Hawk-10 i’d be curious the average and median stats for foreign born vs domestic. I would be curious if the former would be higher.

RE: Dream Team 2024 vs 1992
@dylans thats also what Charles Barkley said happened right? No way that guys ego had a revisionist memory? Im just playing devils advocate. In large part, I agree with you here.
But there are parallels. South Sudan def played like it was their game seven.
I also stumbled on someones post suggesting that in 88 a Michael led college team beat the USA team 8 out of 8 times, but i didnt verify. If so, i think that might show how much a prime (or young even) Michael is a difference maker.

RE: Dream Team 2024 vs 1992
@FarmerJayhawk my son tried to argue as you did. We spent some time looking at Michael and Lebron highlights. Keep in mind that guys were in their prime in 92. Lebron Curry and Durant are not in their prime.

The Indiana Pacers selected the 6-foot-8 forward with the 35th pick through a trade with the San Antonio Spurs.
So far, that looks like a great decision from the Pacers’ front office, as the former Jayhawk has averaged 16 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists through three summer league games.

Congrats to Germany… on doing a wonderful job hosting the Euros. Fields were pristine, refs were pretty good (except when they screwed Germany… at least they didnt screw a guest!
the matches had loads of drama and storylines, the theme song was well selected, and the closing ceremonies were beautiful.
Fun watch.
Go Spain!

RE: 2024 MLB Season
@AsadZ sounds like prior to the Nats he was constantly injured. From The Athletic:
Harvey’s so accustomed to being associated with injuries that he routinely takes digs at himself and his unfortunately brittle history. There was Tommy John surgery in 2016; a fluke shoulder injury in 2018 when he tried to get out of the way of a foul ball in Bowie’s dugout; and oblique, lat and triceps issues in 2021.
He has never made excuses about the injuries, but the reality is he couldn’t stay healthy as an Oriole. Even when he felt good, there was always that feeling of “what’s next?”
Also seems to have good stuff and a good attitude.

RE: Tornados
Our Bipartisan system is a self sustaining duopoly. If you are Republican or Democrat you are as much alike as you are dissimilar.
We have ceded control to the lawmakers, to the stockbrokers, to the manufacturers and distributors, to the caretakers, to Big Pharma, to the advertisers.
We used to cede control to Nature or God or Big Unknown, when we had a more direct relationship with uncertainty.
Now we are all very small circuits or pawns, locked in on a very big board.

RE: Tornados
@Texas-Hawk-10 let me rephrase…. Lets assume we are Dr Strange and have identified the one reality where “we win”. How does it happen?
-
RE: Tornados
@Texas-Hawk-10 so, not to be offensive, but to be blunt, i hear you stating a lot of facts that are undoubtedly true, and positive steps that could be taken, and there is obviously value in having a grasp of reality, but when you go so far as saying “things will never change”… its like, what is the point in dilligently paying attention to details of the past only to assume that there is no positive path forward?

RE: Tornados
I mean. I hear you. But just saying that i think advocating solution is much more important than blame.

RE: Tornados
Has blaming an entire generation been a successful solution to anything?

RE: Tornados
@Texas-Hawk-10 while i dont disagree that one could spread the blame around, i am a fan of the inverse of the old saying:
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
Harry S Truman
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the blame. At the least, blame isnt a magic bullet.

RE: Tornados
Heres my theory.
Idiots can be good. Man is inherently neither good nor bad. Man is inherently neither lazy nor motivated.
We are the product of our environments.
And right now its easy to be lazy. And its hard to be good.
So people aren’t good, and people are lazy.
This is why I registered www.ez2bgood.com I just havent done anything with it…. Yet.

RE: Tornados
@bskeet thats a great issue to focus on. Another is spam. I get spam texts and calls every day. If politicians focused on things that Americans gave an actual shit about, they could win on that instead of these single issue voter issues that they hype up intentionally to drive wedges into the populace with.

RE: Tornados
I think in terms of describing the symptoms of the problem we can stay more or less on the same page with a little effort. Its when people talk about root causes and solutions, particularly when root causes are embellished, simplified or outright fabricated to facilitate solutions, that we venture into wonkytown.

RE: Tornados
@nuleafjhawk pretty much my sentiments.
The article NYT ran today about Elon Musks goal to have 1 million people on Mars in 20 years was an interesting distraction, minus the “Elon has happily donated his sperm to populate the colony” part.

RE: Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster
I didnt question his knocking the shit out of the courtstormer. I questioned him suggesting the courtstormer wanted to injure him.

RE: Generic soccer thread
@wissox we are supposed to own north america at this point. Canada is playing with house money atm. I think we were ranked 11th in the world before this tourney (which was unrealistically high) and I think Canada was in the 30s? prior

RE: Generic soccer thread
@rockchalkjayhawk I think Berhalter gets the ax this week, yes.
We will see Jesse Marsch and Canada competing in a semifnal against Argentina Tuesday and I expect Berhalter will get the sack thereafter.

RE: Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster
@drgnslayr not me man. When he said he felt the fan rushing the court was trying to injure him… the D on his shirt may not stand for D-bag but it at least stands for delusional.
