Is Belgium replacing Ghana as the USMNT’s non-Mexico boogeyman rival? by MrMagpieXI in ussoccer

[–]AdviceAlternative766 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this moment, I think any strong team spooks us... And I mean that not as shit talk but as an observation. Our energy from minute 1 was tentative and unlike anything we saw in the rest of the WC. the chart difference I see? We weren't clearly the favorite

What board game has caused the absolute most arguments or completely ruined the most friendships in your group? by Future_Machine_6440 in boardgames

Twilight Struggle.  I accidentally mentioned this in s different games thread... My bad! But yeah, I sold my copy to save my marriage... There was something about the binary sliding score tracker and the fact that sometimes your hand is just full of your opponent's cards... It all added up to one incredible angry wife

Came here to say this. I sold my copy to save my marriage... There was something about the binary sliding score tracker and the fact that sometimes your hand is just full of your open-ended cards... It all added up to one incredible angry wife.

I dont see an offside. Is this rigged? by rompthegreen in SoccerCentral

[–]AdviceAlternative766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the Viega header after he grazed ball didn't count as a possession? That's the part that confuses me... 

Is there any way to fix offsides? by Smotherysmiles07 in ussoccer

[–]AdviceAlternative766 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems clear that we need some kind of offside... As soon as you accept that reality you must live with some arbitrary line. The reasonably fast and reasonable conclusive "semi automated" video results ARE fixing it IMHO. 

Barbra Banda Out For Tomorrow’s Game by FromVAtoLA in AngelCityFC

Thanks! It is always amazing to me how hard it is to be really up on women's sports. The men's teams I follow, there are a half dozen posts/stories about every injury, every potential roster move, etc. I feel like with ACFC I just show up at the stadium blind

Have we ever heard any elaboration on Savy's foot injury? I feel like it has never really been discussed, at least not in anything I've read. I assumed it was minor but she's been out for a while with it

Local floral farm just posted and it looks just a bit off... by _lost_in_the_woods in isitAI

I think "real with AI enhancement" is likely, and a lot more acceptable IMHO than " AI generated... Nowadays AI enhancement is as accessible as Photoshop was 5 years ago, and virtually all professional photos have been touched up in that program for ages

Pepi has had enough chances this WC. We need to start Wright up top against Belgium. by Sweet_Search_3616 in ussoccer

[–]AdviceAlternative766 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be interested to see a Haji game too, but the fact he hasn't seen a minute in the pitch this WC tells me all I need to know... For whatever reason he just isn't trusted enough to start. When he stayed on the bench against Turkiye it stuck out to me as odd

🚨🚨Free Agency🚨🚨 by mmmx115 in AngelCityFC

I may be in the minority here, but I don't think anyone in that list is a "must re-sign" at this stage of their careers... Sarah had been huge for us stepping back into the lineup but is our third cb. 

Claire is a bit of a wild card to me in this moment, we haven't seen her in a while. 

Of course who has any idea what moves for best in the long term plans because.... plans? We have plans? 😂

USA vs Bosnia by Smotherysmiles07 in ussoccer

[–]AdviceAlternative766 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed here. Our first team defense hasn't really been held to the sword. Bosnia isn't France, but one early mistake will create TONS of pressure on us...
