    Hot take of the day: Jose to the USMNT wouldn't be the worst idea.

    This is technically correct, the best kind of correct.

    There are, in fact, worse ideas: like José at Arsenal.

    Since players aren't exposed to their national team coach for 10 months out of every year, Mourinho might actually last longer than three years as a national team coach.

    Watching Spurs, their defence is shit too getting undressed by a 40 yard straight pass, more than once. Let's see what ManU is doing later today.

    Holy crap at this Dortmund/Augsburg match

    Pablo Alcacer got his hat trick on the final kick of the game to win it for Dortmund with a 30 yard free kick. Was an epic moment.

    I'm ok with the late ManU win. Only makes their house fire burn longer if Mou stays.

    I blame you and about 50m twitters for this. Now they will get the three points and rid Mourinho.

    They've just laid the pitch at the new WHL. So apparently the rumors of a complete tear-down were exaggerated. ;)

    Just listened to Adrian Clarke's interview of Joe Montemurro from several weeks back. He sounds pretty impressive. And he's got our team playing very well in the first 3 games of the season, scoring buckets of goals, and leading the WSL, albeit a very small league.

    Which got me thinking: might Joe be a future candidate for coaching our Men's team? He's got quite a bit of experience as a coach, but mostly in Australia, and mostly for youth or women's teams. Though his prior job was assistant at Melbourne City in the A-League.

    He's a lifelong Gooner, and I wonder if he's taken this job with our Women's team as a way of getting in the door at Arsenal, impressing management with the job he does there, then with an eye towards jumping to the Men's team, either as assistant coach, or potential as head coach??

    Or perhaps he's just happy to coach the ladies for a long time, and bring them back to their prior glory days as the best team in England and occasionally best team in Europe.

    p.s. Here's where I heard this interview https://www.arsenal.com/news/arsenal-weekly-podcast-arsenal-women-special

    p.p.s. There was no perfect thread in which to post this, so I just put it here. Even thought it's Arsenal-related.

    More like they screwed it up for themselves. Sane and subsequently Ozil is at the root of Germany's problems.

    I generally agree with your first sentence, I'm perplexed by your second sentence. Sane is not at the root of their problem. Their problem is they don't have reliable goal scorers. They created a ton of chances yesterday and couldn't finish any of them. It's the same problem they had at the World Cup, where they scored 2 goals on 72 shots. Mueller is well past it and the new strikers they are bringing in aren't good enough.

    I just think there seems to be a level of arrogance coming from them nowadays. Euro 2016 should've been a clear sign for them that they simply can't just show up to a tournament and expect to win. Same thing happened at the World Cup: they expected their talent to push them past Mexico Sweden and SK and, were it not for a last minute miracle, they would've come away with zero wins and 1 point.

    The Ozil chatter seems to mask a very different argument that now one in the team wants to entertain. Mesut disappeared in some games at the 2014 WC and it wasn't a problem for Germany then.

    Some things about Ozil's performance at the 2014 World Cup might surprise you.
