I like the idea of Tessmann keeping the armband over Zimmerman... Zimmerman is going to be one of the leaders regardless, let Tessmann keep it since he's had it this whole time. Plus as the only DM he pretty much has to play every minute right?
🗣️ Diego Luna to @espn on rejecting to be an Olympic alternate for the tournament in Paris:"There's a lot of things that go into deciding to turn down being an Olympic backup.

Frustrating to see him say he's open to Mexico, but that's always in play, and it's doubly frustrating to see that we gave El Tri ammo with the moronic decision to not name him to the team.
Lineup tomorrow from what I've heard will be 10/11 selections no surprise, except the one position where there's a minor selection question of who it might be will be a surprise. Was asked not to reveal the lineup, but the surprise has been referenced by a number of people in the last week as a possibility, myself included. Speculate with that however you want to.
McGuire is receiving interest from clubs in Italy: https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/duncan-mcguire-overseas-opportunities.2128577/page-3#post-42410831
Is this the place for a US - France Olympic team game day thread? If so would someone who knows how to start an official one do the honors?
Tessmann busy on and off the field 🚨 Excl. - Talks in progress between #Fiorentina and #Venezia for Tanner #Tessmann. Venezia ask €7M to sell the player. After the deal collapsed with #Inter the midfielder has chosen a new intermediary (Michelangelo Minieri) to try to move. #transfers @violanews https://t.co/Wm3E9QeuBl— Nicolò Schira (@NicoSchira) July 25, 2024 Glad that he fired his agent. How greedy to ruin a player's dream move to one of the best teams in the world because you personally wanted more money from the club. https://t.co/xC6IxqTEQS— USMNTProspects (@ProspectsUsmnt) July 26, 2024
The European agent system -- where the agent separately negotiates with the club for their fee -- is such a massive conflict of interest, I am shocked anyone agrees to it.
FIFA has been trying to regulate it and fix these issues, but the agents have predictably pushed back and are challenging it in court.
Who was Tessmann's agent? Also a different rumor about McKennie to Fiorintina so do they want both or just trying to land one American?
"this is not me" JMi speaks to his sm controversy:"I want to apologize to anyone I did offend. Liking those posts on Twitter was probably not the best thing to do. I don't think it reflects who I am. It's definitely a learning moment for me. I understand that it was insensitive."#RBNY https://t.co/JSkul5sE3S— Mark Fishkin #🟦 (@MarkFishkin) July 26, 2024
Why do we have to be concerned about what Tolkin thinks? Why do people believe that they have the right to police other peoples’ thoughts? You want people to speak openly so that you can decide for yourself whether or not that you agree or want your kids to emulate. I am glad that France turned their Olympic Opening Ceremonies into a full-blown anti-Christian hate-bigot parade. Why? Because it reveals their lack of character and lack of judgment. I can warn my friends about dealing with France or spending time in France where it is obvious that my Catholic/Christian family and friends are not welcome. I can imagine tias and abuelas crying while watching them savage the thing that matters most to them or being treated abusively by people who have that kind of angry, hateful approach to dealing with life. Now I am aware that they espouse open abuse and I can plan accordingly or help keep my people from getting hurt. It’s not a matter of whether or not you agree with someone that provides grounds for you to abuse them. Every single person disagrees with everyone else about some number of things. The abuse is the unethical, immoral aspect. If you abuse someone or try to ruin their life because they have different beliefs than you, it’s you who has the problem. It’s you who are in the wrong.
i guess you are unaware of this long cultural war (several centuries long now) in france between secularism and catholicism...as some who was raised in the french catholic tradition and has drifted away from it i am astonished and amused by your diatribe...you must be opus dei or something plus ça change
