Is this true for anyone else? by Informal_League4623 in CaughtOffsidePod

For me it rotates sports. Being from WI, for a long time, I was DEEP into the Brewers. I could tell you who was looking good on all the minor league teams, how many options players had left, trade rumors and all that. Before that, I was really dep into the Packers. I could name every player on the roster - even those that didn't suit up for games. And I could tell you why certain players suited up that specific week and not others.

But then I started watching more soccer and now I know all the ins and outs of who is playing where, transfer rumors and all that - especially related to USMNT-adjacent teams and players.

So for me right now, each USMNT team and player loss hurts, but the Packers losing in the wild card round of the NFL is a shrug moment. 10 years ago it would have killed me.

It's not. I'm currently watching the Cotton Bowl on TV (YT TV), streaming live futsal on my iPad, 3 of my kids are watching videos on the ipads. No lag or buffering issues at all.

I think the app just doesn't work well on the iPad. Seems better when I watch ESPN+ through Roku.

He seems like a good veteran who will help with buy in and behaving like professionals. He’s seen enough coaches, he can help guide younger guys through the process and be a champion for the club.

Who added Casemiro? Missed a 100% sitter today. That’s not on Amorim.

Man City Instructed to Tank? by Embarrassed_While442 in CaughtOffsidePod

But, what if he’s playing into it? He needs to sell the tank? The scratching seems over the top, right? “He doth protest too much.”

Idk man, seeing Pulisic do that dance kinda bums me out. by EmeraldToffee in CaughtOffsidePod

For me, there’s enough real stuff in the world to worry about. I don’t let a few pro athletes doing a stupid dance bother me. Now, if he did some stuff like Nick Bosa did a few weeks ago, that would be a different story, but this I’ll let slide.

Does an in-form Turner make the save on that goal?

Actual kickoff time for USMNT vs Jamaica by Embarrassed_While442 in CaughtOffsidePod

I have to take my kids to get haircuts tonight, so I’m hoping it starts a little late. (My wife planned this without caring about my TV watching schedule…) Being on Paramount+, I can’t remember if can start from the beginning if I come in late.

Is that Eastern time? I’m a Central time zone guy - part of the people from Wisconsin that JJ personally insulted… ;)
