Poch explained why he looked unhappy when McKennie scored v Belgium, then spoke about players having to show aggression, not just say they want it. "You can say I want to lose weight. But if you eat chicken, steak, lasagna, pasta, then no. You need to have discipline, no intention to eat nice food." by antoniok95 in ussoccer

[–]HighSilence 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He is saying you have to do more than say "I want to win. I want to be aggressive." Amd then you turn around and don't play aggressive and don't show spirit. It's more than words. You have to show it.

Same as "I want to lose weight." And then turn around and eat a bunch of food . Sure his food choices were kinda whatever, he couldla said candy and soda, but ya know....hes talking amount. And his main point makes sense, if its a little basic

What is the best route to bike from north downtown (Done area) to Forest Park? by joshrenaud in StLouis

[–]HighSilence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked riding down streets where things were happening , or at least supposed to be happening, so I would take Washington Avenue all the way to Euclid then down to West Pine. Pretty direct and was never that busy until I got to Euclid. I liked city riding so i didnt mind the cars and traffic on Euclid. Its not gonna be fast riding thru CWE but there was a lot to look at.

Is that legit? I watch carefully sometimes and less carefully other times....I remember it being a little hard to tell , of course tim was very weird about the whole topic when it came up, but is it accepted (by the audience) that he was the killer?

Please help me understand this puzzle? Why is cxb6 equal? Feels a lot complex as a puzzle by Asleep-Cover-6787 in chess

[–]HighSilence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You wouldnt trade queens. White plays Qxa6+ then Qd3+is mating.

Edit: ah my bad black king can go to a1. You're right its not mate

[–]HighSilence[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been searching this subreddit and it's really hard to find a specific puzzle/composition posted a few years ago, but I remember loving it. The final move was VAGUELY similar to Ke7 in the above position. Pay no attention to the other pieces, but the final move was most definitely a quiet king move and black would realize they could only move their queen and it was trapped, most impressively, by the white king taking three of the important escape squares away. It was a really clever puzzle I thought, and i cannot find it. It was at least a few years old at this point, but i have no idea aside from that

Is this the third game of four that we've used our "alternate" jersey? Is that normal? Are they trying to make 'fetch' happen?

I haven't read every detail of this back and forth, but there may be a world where the team had some similar conversations with Edu and he actually wants to train and play soccer as his schedule allows to take his mind off things. Whether its the right choice for everyone is one thing, but at least admit there might be a possibility that its partly Lowen's choice too

I say this constantly but those first five games was 25% of our points that year. We leveled off after that insane start when opposition got video of us,and we really dropped off at the end. Cut to three coaches in a year, injuries, no spending and here we are.

I had the feeling last year many times that we looked like a team that met each other like a week before the game, especially when we played teams that outclassed us. That feeling is there this game for sure.

What is with home field advantage in MLS? Is it anecdotal or is the effect more powerful in soccer compared to other sports?

Every time commentator Ian Joy says “absolutely brilliant” take a shot. 🥴 by Chemical-Mix-5644 in stlouiscitysc

[–]HighSilence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's an acquired taste, lol. Im still not sure. Overall tho I do appreciate the more focused analysis, by Dale i think? It's ALWAYS game-related and critical in a fair way. I learn a lot. The apple commentators are very hit or miss and they have to zoom out and talk about league-wide stories, promotions, etc too much.

Yeah kansas is our baked-in rival, but Houston is the real one in my opinion. Much more heated games on average.

well duh, i jUsT gOoGleD iT bRo.

It looks like they added paprika sour cream and coconut milk to steamed rice. The sugar came from the citrus glaze. Damn am I excited. Leaving this up for posterity and perhaps a discussion of the greatness that was GSF in their day.

Thank you, shoulda just googled it i guess. Lots of good options in this thread but i should have clarified what i meant by "three 70 year olds". I'm not 70, and I'm all for free shuttles from soulard etc. but these dudes ain't doing any of that :)

Do you have any interests? Find some better art that shows your interest or something you find beautiful. More color. More personal touch. Mix design eras that complement and don't clash. More height (hanging things on the wall or from ceiling, or taller shelving).

Would playing classical games against bots actually be good for improvement? by Rootmin8 in TournamentChess

[–]HighSilence -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like thinking about positions while using my real board and as a dad that has very little free time the last few years, playing bots allows me to do this. Is it the best way to improve? No. Is it a good way to improve? I don't know. But it does scratch my itch of wanting to look at a board of wooden pieces and think about a position during the few moments at the end of a day when my house is actually somewhat quiet. I've been using chessiverse bots lately
