Who cares if they play bad in the World Cup?

I get the point on friendlies or qualifying during season but that time turnaround doesnt exist in the offseason when the WC is. Also they dont travel in the same capacity to and from Europe like you or I do

while not the high pick associated with him but Strotentile certainly applies to GG

It is. Depends on who comes out of that playoff B. Poland or Ukraine could put them over G for me

Lol. Knowing the US they'll find a way to lose

I mean, playing below their level is kind of what they're known for.

Playoff C is the weakest of the Euro playoff groups and neither Paraguay or Australia have elite talent. Paraguay finished 6th in CONMEBOL and the only team that autoqualified from AFC with less points than Australia was Jordan

They haven't been the socceroos for a decade, just like us their women are the better squad

We should fold our entire federation if they can't finish top of that group on US soil

Deathy? Doesn't everyone get to at least a knockout game as long as they don't finish 4th in their group?

This. Lot of time I do this I use an earth Indian spice blend that has garam masala, coriander, cumin and tumeric for the veggies. Finish with some lemon juice/zest. And I'll cook some up a couple andouille or brat sausages to slice up to mix into a bowl with the veggies

Streak over. Time for grandpa to retire like cp3

That is usually how these things tend to go. They are off until next Friday after Sunday, maybe they wait til then. Or perhaps they test it out Sunday knowing there is a big recovery window to see how his calf responds 🤷‍♂️

We can fix him 😇

Perhaps the oldest roster in the league is slow to rotate defensively so their opponents 3pt shots are more open and thus a higher shooting % is to be expected?

Thabks. Can you see shooting % allowed for opponent corner 3s?

But despite Ange missing Romero for his toe/foot a couple times last yr & Micky twice costing multiple games before his big injury in December, our defensive record was better last yr than it is now. But the Ange haters wont acknowledge our defense was great before the injuries of that Chelsea game

And thats despite Ange finishing 5th the year prior

The sicko part of me wants to see Frank without the trio just to see the Ange haters contort themselves more

He absolutely is and why I give him rope still, just like I did last winter when our best available CBs were Davies & Dragusin. Danso is a massive improvement that Ange didnt have for 2 months of the injury crisis. I only point it out cause others dont show the same grace
