Pre-match: 6/12/26 9PM EST USA vs Paraguay: Game 1 of the big show

It just occurred to me. If the USA gets the kick off in the first half, they should just take a shot on goal from midfield.

It would be hilarious if the USA scored from that. Instant tone setter. No one would see it coming.

 

Our kick off routine has been the same in recent matches. Trying our best Ray Guy impression.

 

Pulisic is just mimicing his coach's messaging there. And I get what Poch is trying to do here by trying to not have them come out too amped up.

But just because they say it does not mean it is true. I am certain both Poch & Pulisic know it and don't believe it for a second.

 

I think they are trying a Constanza, you're right. It's just odd to say it out loud and not something you here many pro athletes say for a reason.

I don't think Wemby would say he's approaching game 5 as just another game.

 

He looks like George Costanza.

 

I'm gonna try and wake up at 2 am to watch this.

 

He (circles finger) WAS bald

 

My comp team and my middle school team keep asking us to do the PSG kickoff. I always say no, lol.

 

Starting the pregame show with an American football player is not what I would have done.

 

Fox is doing red carpet to all celebrities to stadium like Oscars lol

 

Landon looks hilarious with that carpet glued to his head. Just can't take it seriously.

 

He’s such an improved commentator over what he used to be. I don’t really care what he wants to put on his head.

 

2-0 win.

Goals by Sebastian Berhalter and Cristian Roldan.

 

I think if I have to watch Jameis Winston and Rob Gronkowski, I may skip the ********ing World Cup.

I don't know who Carissa is, but she should get hazard pay for that segment.

 

The only problem with this is by definition it would be in the last ~15 minutes of the game unless someone gets hurt which is even worse

 

But his bare head could blind people in row zzz.
I do have to say that the Mexico match showed that Landon can be a very good color commentator. He was actually quite able to be listened to for most of the match. I do not know how he did pre or post match or a half time as I do not ever listen to the filler garbage that all networks seem to think is interesting.

 

Oh dear...is that Makkelie.....it's a joke he's chosen by FIFA for the WC. He has been too often not so very good in the Dutch league.

 

Not sure I can do another 2.5 hours of pre game coverage.

 

This is me saying that I expect one of them (likely Berhalter) to start. But who knows.

 

Only if they start

 

That’s unprecedented

 

As long as he favors USA. He’s not a joke lol

 

Not many things I would get more enjoyment out of then watching that social media meltdown

 

The thing is, I'd much rather play pc games until lineups are announced, but I can't make myself turn off the coverage

 

scientists just cannot find a treatment that works for pattern baldness. one company dedicated genetic research tailored to it and finally just gave up. you can fix your teeth, implant breasts, get rhinoplasty, facelifts, tummy tucks....but you cannot put back hair that is gone. and no, hair transplants are not the answer for most. thing is, donovan does not look bad bald. but losing it as young as he did, well, you never really get over it. patrick stewart said it bothered him so much he thought he'd never find a girlfriend....as if! note; full blood native americans do not have genes for baldness. fun fact.
