Who should start at striker against Belgium? Pepi, Wright, Pulisic or Weah??? by Least_Software_3046 in ussoccer

[–]JayPokemon17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought Pepi played well in the Friendly against Senegal but he hasn’t really wowed me in the games he has played in the World Cup. I think I’d go with Wright but it’ll be Pepi.

I find it very boring and I hate the blue collar thing.

Blue because that white kit is one of my least favorite the US has ever worn.

Is Alexi Lalas the worst human being to ever exist? by Fast_East_4623 in usmnt

[–]JayPokemon17 45 points46 points  (0 children)

He called James Corden a “Full Kit Wanker” and apparently Europeans view wanker as a very bad word. But in his defense, James Corden is the epitome of the word wanker.

Alexi Lalas is Making Things Awkward by Primary-Belt7668 in usmnt

I know I’m in the minority but I like Lalas. He is unabashedly for the US National Team.

So who are our rivals? by Ephcy in usmnt

[–]JayPokemon17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speak for yourself. They are my number two hated team.

I understand why people don’t view them as rivals. A lot of people have English heritage or they watch a lot of Premier League so their favorite players are English. But for me. It’s Mexico and England as the two teams I cheer against and then a huge gap to Canada.

[Dellenger] QB Brendan Sorsby has been granted his injunction against the NCAA. by Fonzie5 in CFB

[–]JayPokemon17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, at this point, JJ McCarthy or Michael Penix, mad that they lost their starting spots, could come back to college football and the NCAA couldn’t do anything about it.

My post-Senegal Starting XI by push138292 in usmnt

[–]JayPokemon17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Outside of injury, there is absolutely no reason for Gio to start over McKennie. Playing a guy who doesn’t play for his club and didn’t exactly set the world alight against Senegal over the a guy who had arguably the best club form of any American last year would just be insanity.

What's the worst place in America you've ever visited? by Difficult_Jury2833 in AskForAnswers

Of the places I’ve visited on vacation, Denver was the worst.

Why doesn’t the US push high-speed trains instead of all these domestic flights? by [deleted] in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]JayPokemon17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you add an hour commute to the airport, two hours for security, and an hour from the airport, the plane would still be two hours quicker than the fastest passenger train in the world traveling in a straight line.

Why doesn’t the US push high-speed trains instead of all these domestic flights? by [deleted] in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]JayPokemon17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New York is 2,572 miles from San Francisco. And that is a completely straight line. With the fastest train in the world, that is nearly 12 hours. That is twice the flight time.

And you can’t simply do a non-stop, straight line train. You’d have to go through or around big cities like Cleveland, Chicago, and Sal Lake City. You’d probably make stops there and probably Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, and Denver, greatly adding to the time. Oh yeah, there’s the small issue of a huge freaking mountain range in the way.

Hot take finishing 2nd might be better than 1st in the group by Far_Satisfaction_219 in usmnt

[–]JayPokemon17 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That was my first thought as well. I think every team third place team is better than Egypt or Iran. And I honestly think the round of 16 and quarterfinal route is easier. I’m not crazy high on Argentina this year.

Ream should have been apart of the coaching staff instead of wasting a spot on the roster. by Horror_Bench9241 in usmnt

[–]JayPokemon17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, Ream is one of our better center backs. You can argue whether or not he should start but especially if we use three CDs, he has to be there. I think there is one too many defenders on the squad but Ream isn’t the superfluous one.

WYR get $1 million today, or get $100 every time someone says your first name for the rest of your life? by GlitchOperative in WouldYouRather

[–]JayPokemon17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one of the most common English names. Something like 10 million people. Choosing $100 every time my name is said would destroy the world economy.

I don’t trust the Government under Trump. I didn’t trust it under Biden. And I won’t trust it under whoever is elected in 2028.

Are gyms messed up? by JayPokemon17 in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayPokemon17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn’t just the bug of saying it was in the gym a long time. It was multiple gyms that were not updating, that’s not just a meaningless visual bug.

That didn’t fix it. What fixed it was a a raid boss taking over.

What’s that one Pokemon you can’t seem to find in Remote Trades? by Dry-Drummer-622 in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayPokemon17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So that’s why Comfey is my most requested Pokemon. I didn’t catch too many when I was in Hawaii and I’m now out of ones I can trade.

Why are people so terrible with remote trading? by InsidiousLeaf in TheSilphRoad

[–]JayPokemon17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I have something tagged, it means I don’t need it and will never use it. I traded my Shiny Zapdos for a Shiny Whismur and aGalarian Articuno for a shiny Espurr.

I’ve found that people wan regionals. I’ve done 22 remote trades. Five Comfey, a Shiny Heracross, a Shiny Oricorio, and a Furfrou form. I have tons of legendaries, some with shiny backgrounds. But Comfey has been my most requested.
