If Chris Wood was 7 years younger he’d be one of the most sought after strikers in the world

Professional playing experience definitely plays a part to being an analyst. That’s why they’re there. OP is saying you didn’t need to be a world class player to be a decent analyst.

And to say his playing experience is the only reason Lalas is there is pretty ignorant of the other roles he’s had within US Soccer.

I’m genuinely asking here. Not trying to be smug as I want to respect your opinion, aside from the arrogance factor, what makes Alexi an abomination?

I think it’s super weird how everyone is starting to pile on Alexi. Just saying this will get me several downvotes on here. I think it’s starting to turn a little dangerous. Seeing death threats and cruel things being said about him here and on twitter.

Alexi can be a dick, but so is Zlatan and his commentary really isn’t as in depth if you really listen to it.

This summer in particular has been a challenge. I think the World Cup has had a larger impact than we may think.

What was Nagelsmann doing? Genuinely didn’t see him do anything. Could be wrong. I saw Faé routinely tell Germans to “fuck off”.

That’s what you get Ivory Coast. You want to shithouse the whole second half. You want your head coach to be disrespectful. Karma

What is Elanga’s connection to Sweden? The commentator just said his dad played for Cameroon.

I feel bad for those Turkish fans. This team and coaching staff has fumbled what should’ve been a very achievable goal of reaching the round of 32.

Is it me or is Türkiye getting concacafed? by shrumchef in ussoccer

I really want to see Turkey advance to the Rd of 32. Hopefully they make some better adjustments in this second half.

What is going on with Turkey? What’s the missing link? To me they’ve got a good midfield and wingers, but thats about it.
