    Heard today that Cavani was pretty much leaving at the end of the season and returning to South America.

    Honestly, if he had to go to a "big club" I would choose this over any of the other top EPL teams

    The only view of the volley-cross delivery for the 2nd goal, from one of the GoPros, Daryl didn't break:

    Sadly, I'm afraid this could kick off a stupid discussion.

    That’s some quality defending there.

    watching him at UVA this seemed very possible if he either found a league that didn’t call a foul on him every time he touched another player or if he adjusted his physical play just enough to avoid getting those whistles.

    I like it, but it's got a little too much Handy Manny characteristics for someone who commits that much wonton violence against innocent GoPros and villainous opposing defenders alike.

    But isn't he bombing the wrong country? That's like saying we didn't give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor as motivation.

    No, but we gave England the L in 1776.

    They might suggest they got the W in 1812, as in WH.

    He's the first yank I really enjoy watching, probably at the same time alongside Aaronson. You just don't know what's going to happen next, other than it will probably be good. Obviously I like watching our other yanks, but there is just something so fun about watching Daryl and Brenden.

    And even that flatters us. We were absolutely mauled in the vast majority of engagements of that war and lucked out that England was fighting an entire global war at the same time.

    You know . . . . in 1816 we took a little trip, along with Col. Jackson down the mighty Mississip. We took along some bacon and we took along some beans, and we met the bloody British at the town of New Orleans . . .

    Still, by far, my fav cadence to call in formation. @Eleven Bravo can attest.

    The War of 1812 was when the US finally achieved full independent status. Britain forced the US to trade with her through the Orders of Council, press-ganged US citizens found on merchant marine vessels into military service, forced US ships to receive "permission" (via special permits) to trade with France/the rest of the Continent, and supplied Native tribes with weapons/supplies to help fight off American settlers in the Northwest Territory. It was basically treating the USA as if it were still a colony, just with a name change.

    It was only after the Treaty of Ghent that the British fully recognized the independence of America, having agreed to boundaries in North America between the USA and Canada. Canada gave the British a foothold in North America and a colony with which to check American influence in the region. Despite failing to conquer much Canadian territory, the solidified borders between the USA and Canada cemented US territorial claims and mostly eliminated British meddling in domestic affairs.

    They never really considered recapturing the US, but regardless, the end result was that the US was finally fully independent. We even got to hand out one last "L" after the treaty was signed, when a handful of irregulars and Andrew Jackson beat the crap out of twice as many veteran British infantry and killed a British commander to boot.
