Review: Keeping up with the neighbors from the worst house on the block - the 2026 other teams thread

It’s good to see him embrace the substitute role he bitched and moaned about in Qatar. Great goal.

 

that team last night was not a Greg Berhalter team

 

Did DCs former ECU international make this WC squad?

 

Does not look like it

 

Clyde Simms? No.

 

this team doesnt have an extra "g" to hold them back....

 

A wild Owen Goal appears!

 

Give that guy a US jersey. Two goals in two games!

 

And a third!

 

No, that second US goal was all Freeman.

 

As my wife (who has better--and prettier--eyes than me) pointed out at the half-time replays. My tired old eyes saw the keeper swat it in, which was not the case.

Nice finish by Freeman.

 

Fun game to watch, but the TV production is godawful. Too many shots of "celebrities" while play continued on the pitch. This isn't Pig's Knuckle State v. Sheep********er U. college football, it's the bloody World Cup.

 

The fact that it's been happening across countries, games, and times suggests that this is a FIFA direction.

 

FIFA is in charge of all game production, every outlet gets the same game feed.

 

I'm sure Infantino is getting bags of cash from this grift somehow.

 

Birds of a feather...

 

I don't necessarily mind the celebrity sightings - I just wish they'd tell me who the hell most of them are ... I mean, if they're gonna go to all the trouble to cut away from game action, they must know who they are; put up a damned chyron with a name, maybe tell me who they're supporting even if I'm gonna be greedy).

 

There was(is?) a photo going round of Mia Khalifa and Lana Rhoades sitting together at the usmnt game. Turns out to be fake, but at least that one didn't need captions...

 

Some fantastic games! What a great time to be a casual fan.

I wonder what the casuals will think when they start watching mls....

 

Audi Field will be hosting the USWNT vs Spain on Saturday, October 10.

 

You are correct - that is why those two have measurable Q rating.

 

Heck, I had to look up Q rating. Thanks for not tricking me into porn.

 

Me too.

 

At 2:30 PM - which wasn’t included in any of the US Soccer announcements and is quite relevant in this town because DCU plays away to Messi that night at 7:30.
