    Yeah I think it's pretty cool. There are definitely worse out there.

    Then again, it's someone's personal hairchoices, and unless it affects their ability to head the ball or something, I won't care!

    I'm not Grateful-ly Dead just yet but.........

    It must be getting early, clocks are running late
    Paint-by-number morning sky looks so phony
    Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, curse the glare
    Draw the curtains, I don't care 'cause it's alright

    I will survive

    I see you've got your list out, say your piece and get out
    Guess I get the gist of it, but it's alright
    Sorry that you feel that way, the only thing there is to say
    Every silver lining's got a touch of grey

    I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years
    It's even worse than it appears but it's alright
    Cow is giving kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen
    The words he knows are all obscene, but it's alright

    The shoe is on the hand it fits, there's really nothing much to it
    Whistle through your teeth and spit 'cause it's alright
    Oh well, a touch of grey kinda suits you anyway
    That was all I had to say and it's alright

    Weah with a foot injury. Sounds minor though.

    He's a likable geek that just happens to be a really good player. Very unique.

    The irony with all the Aaronson v Musah talk out there is that if we had a WC match today, the comparison is actually Musah versus ... Arriola?

    Was it McKennie or someone else who had a dyed spot so his grandmother could better see him when he played on tv? I'm fairly sure it's him so he gets the spot for her.

    Repped for the laughter it provoked. But, really, it can be hard telling players apart on TV. I appreciate when guys have something that makes it easy to distinguish them, immediately, from afar.

    Yep, it was for Gyasi's grandma. McKennie's dye spot isn't noticeable enough to help on the long ca.era shots.

    Scally I found one of the most difficult to pick out for some reason. Nothing distinctive, I guess. Chandler one of the easiest because of the unique way he moves and pronounced glutes. Big head, too.

    I hope that McKennie can start being productive for the USMNT again. His stats for the last couple of years, are not good.

    Well it looks like this is the end for Daryl Dike's (2022) World Cup hopes...

    If he is able to play till then. Sounds cruel, but he needs some help as soon as possible.

    Hope he can eventually get this stuff behind him. Lot of thigh on Daryl.

    We can't have nice things. Feel for Daryl, who has had more than his share of injuries.

    Lousy luck, but like most I think he was on the outside looking in anyways.

    Back then, the spot was very essential. Not anymore. Right now, you can see which body consumed too much ranch-dressed pizzas.

    Not with my eyes. I still have trouble telling them apart on long shots especially when the announcers also have trouble and get them mixed up.

    Alas, I believe it to be so. And I think I'm already starting to see mullets returning ala Tolken so the cycles are speeding up or going all at once.

    Indeed. Its been a rough go since the Barnsley loan. He was selected for the USMNT the summer after that. Hasn't been playing consistently enough at a high level since to warrant selection.

    When that guy has been healthy, he has consistently produced. Scored a goal roughly every other game at the MLS/Championship level. We'll take that.

    Jesus Ferreira is more than a year younger than Dike, and has played twice as many professional games.

    I am afraid Dike may be a bit like Jozy. Just susceptible to injuries.

    Reyna not in Dortmund's travel squad today. Apparently just not ready for match minutes.
