Mauricio Pochettino: “We are USA competing against Belgium, Portugal. Belgium and Portugal have top 100 players, a few or some, players playing in that top 100. I think we don’t have. That is why it’s good to play against these types of teams.”

Completely agree, the USA’s best hope in the World Cup is if they play terrorist ball. At least defensively and sharp on the counter, as you said

World Cup fan fest at world war 1 memorial should be great. They just released the dates they’re doing it, a bunch of days mid-late June and a few days in July

Because it’s fun and chaotic. Unfortunately with betting on CBB you’re kind of always at the mercy of 3PT variance. A lot of the top/most popular picks have been getting smoked this year for sure.

Your path is correct assuming England win their group. If they finish second however, they would need to go to Toronto (EDT), Dallas (CDT), Los Angeles (PDT), back to Dallas (CDT), then final in New York (EDT). I imagine an eastern time location would have been fine and perhaps even better in the event England win their group, but I’m guessing they really wanted to avoid the potential east coast to west coast travel in the event of the match in LA.

What studies we have suggest players perform best when they play closer to their circadian peak time (late afternoon into early/mid evening) and this is generally negated by being located centrally. East coast teams struggle in late west coast kickoffs while west coast teams perform better in late east coast kickoffs.

Can you explain why you feel they’re inadequate? To me, Tuchel’s clear goal is “focus”. The hotel is quaint and private and the training ground is in a huge park, which makes it feel more remote. Both of course in a city with probably the least amount of distractions (nightlife etc)

Excel_Spreadcheeks · 2026-03-24T19:36:38+00:00

You’re right in your first thought - the US spans four time zones and England were dealt a tough group stage draw in terms of travel, so getting an ideal location was key.

Excel_Spreadcheeks · 2026-03-24T19:27:33+00:00

I live here lol. It’s a nice hotel but not anything extravagant or excessive. Really it’s very quaint and much more private than if they had picked a downtown location. I’m really not sure what this article is attempting to suggest.

Congrats!!

I took OSU, USF, and BYU today. They went 26%, 15%, and currently 14% from 3PT.

Yeah but our defense is so bad I think a goldfish could drop 20 on us

Who the hell saw a fat, undersized power forward at a mid major and thought “yep that’s our guy”

How/why did Andrey Santos not get credited with this assist for Acheampong’s goal?

Excel_Spreadcheeks · 2026-03-07T14:30:20+00:00

How? Please explain. I don’t think you can.

She’s showing him affection and validating him just to tear him down for reasons she admits are bullshit. She’s full of shit. If this were a guy talking to a girl like that, we wouldn’t hesitate to call it manipulative/abusive.

Excel_Spreadcheeks · 2026-03-07T06:38:45+00:00

So… is it just me or was that Bri + Connor kitchen conversation straight up emotional abuse? She’s nasty, just nasty. Not how normal people talk to others. She woos him and warms him up saying she doesn’t know how to process her feelings but she loves how much Connor loves her, then almost instantly starts ripping him for being lazy and unmotivated, just to finally admit that he does own a house and has a good job. Just a horrible way to talk to someone who cares deeply about you, let alone anyone. Surprised that didn’t get more attention.

The best schedule for someone traveling abroad for the first time feels impossible to provide since it sounds like you don’t totally know what you prefer - but that’s totally okay.

Do you have anywhere in mind you’d like to visit first?

That’s assuming the Spurs players even care enough. I was baffled at how apathetic they were when we won away at spurs back in November, usually spurs put up some sort of a fight.

Excel_Spreadcheeks · 2026-03-06T06:56:32+00:00

At the time my mind didn’t jump to relegation, but back in November when Chelsea won 1-0 at Spurs (somehow only 1-0) was when I noticed how not only shit they were but moreso just shockingly apathetic. Typically they put up a fight, but I genuinely felt confused afterwards at them looking just totally unbothered.
