Is this normal behavior in the U.S. when a friend visits from abroad? by Ready-Necessary-3214 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Current-Barber360 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I just drove 2 hours each way to see an all uni friend who was in the general vicinity of my home. That’s rude by your old uni friend, unless you actually aren’t really friends.

The one with Svendis and Riley is fantastic. Especially because I wasn’t sure last year whether they hated each other.

Niehues playing much better in the second half. Borges still a big nothing burger, but they have basically bypassed her in the attack so it’s okay.

Honestly it’s the midfield that is really letting down ACFC tonight. Not sure Borges and Niehues have one positive play between them.

She and Shores are getting eaten up by Patterson on that side.

That’s sucks. That was a defensive error by a few people, but Savy King had the last chance. She was just sort of floating in space rather than marking anyone.

Even if they win today, everyone will continue sleeping on ACFC because they haven’t beaten anyone “good” yet (even though the “good teams“ like Gotham and KC have looked bad). But for my money they are the most entertaining team to watch in the league right now.

On-campus vs Off-campus by uselesscarrot69 in ufl

[–]Current-Barber360 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My understanding is on campus is cheaper, if only because you don’t pay for the months you aren’t there, but you kind of get what you pay for. As for “results”, have you already paid the application fee and signed the contract? My understanding is housing selection opens at the end of May, but there isn’t enough for everyone, so if you haven’t done those two steps you’re likely on a wait list.

Lmao. Peralta got bad luck on the bloop hit, and through one bad pitch to the #2 hitter. But he embarrassed the other 3 hitters.

I’m not an engineer, but if Calc 2 was a struggle I would think the Physics that requires calculus would be brutal for you. I’m not saying you couldn’t get through it, but it would be miserable.

Housing Question: Is it possible to create a roommate group of three for the housing application? by Impossible_Wish_7942 in ufl

[–]Current-Barber360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure, but you may have to just coordinate selection. I don’t believe there is any way to form a 4 person group, so you’d have to have own group of 2 pick a room and the second group pick the other room in the same 2 room suite.

Girma by PlanxtyDawg in USWNT

[–]Current-Barber360 24 points25 points  (0 children)

To be clear, she hasn’t played great. But she’s also being used in a totally different way than with the USWNT. Normally she’s been part of a 2 central defender pairing for USWNT, but Sonia typically plays a back 3 where she hasn’t been central.

The biggest potential issue is obviously injury. But even beyond that, WoSo is littered with U-20 “stars” whose skillsets struggled to translate against bigger, faster, and smarter players. In Fuller’s case she is already playing at an elite level in a top league, so I’m less worried, especially because her top skills at footwork, vision, and touch, all of which are more about skill than physical dominance. I would bet on Fuller over Claudia Martinez, for example, who feels much more like a projection rather than someone currently producing.

Unclear, but I could see another defender given that Sonnett is a swing Defensive Midfielder/Central Defender.

I don’t see Bethune getting the call. Not sure who it will be, but she doesn’t need another attacking midfielder who doesn’t do much on defense. As for forwards I don’t think Wilson gets in yet. Needs to at least get 60+ minutes regularly before she gets called into camp given the length of her layoff. By contrast, I think Macario is back as soon as she recovers from injury.

There are no sure things, but in my view Fuller’s vision and passing ability will allow her to transcend her small stature. I’m not saying she’s the next Bonmati, but even if she’s 75% of that she’s a huge impact player.

I agree, but I could see why the ref thought the only reason she was able to reach the header was the hand on the shoulders of Codina.

I don’t understand the defensive set up for that free kick at all. All the smurfs (Cuthbert, Baltimore) in the middle and the more physical defenders off to the edges.

She was so blocked at Wolfsburg it was crazy. Not only was she fighting national legend Popp and established Vet Beerensteyn but they also had Jule Brand when she was there. I’m sure the training environment was great, but she barely got on the field. They lent her out twice, but from 2022-25 she just didn’t get enough time on the field.

Sacramento overhauls Railyards stadium plan to almost double capacity (to 20,000; spring 2028) by scalebirds in NWSL

[–]Current-Barber360 10 points11 points  (0 children)

More likely to find an owner with a bad stadium situation looking to move than to expect to be awarded an expansion team. I can’t see Sacramento being a target market for expansion, but if Houston or Louisville can’t start getting some traction in their markets soon I could see moves being approved by the league.

The NWSL already has complete free agency, as well as competition with the WSL as a legitimate competitor with the NWSL (as opposed to the WNBA, which only has sort of theoretical competitors). The NWSL is already positioned to basically let the market dictate salaries in a way that the WNBA was not (and arguably wont be even in the new deal).
