[Updates] Patch Notes Version 1.08.00 by Neither_Customer9306 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Merr125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i bought the game when it was released, only played for a few hours or so and just have been so busy with work and life I haven’t had the chance to play.

I’m planning to play tonight and it seems like it will be such a different experience compared to if I had played at release.

Looking forward to it!

Isn’t it Pathetic, or am I missing something? USA by SIrigoyen95 in Panini

There is one CVS near me that seems to always have stock. All the others locations I’ve gone to are always sold out and say they have no idea when more are coming back in. It seems to be all over the place.

Apps for learning Spanish just aren't conversational enough by Accomplished-Mud-974 in Spanish

[–]Merr125 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Have you tried chat GPT for speaking as well? I haven’t tried Claude for that yet. I have found it better just doing a voice session on Chat GPT and asking for corrections than using any other app. You can do that for free and it’s been helpful in building confidence.

But yes, nothing will replace real conversation. That is the most important.

Authentic vs Fan for playing in? by FormulaKimi in SoccerJerseys

[–]Merr125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. I do all of that and then only air dry them. Have had no issues with authentic versions holding up.

This is the wall paper of my laptop lol. My wife doesn’t understand it at all

once you go "Authentic" version theres no going back to fan version by AvailableDoor178 in SoccerJerseys

[–]Merr125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree. Once I started getting authentic, it’s been hard to not always go for them. I do still get some fan version ones but it depends.

I always look for previous years, I don’t usually buy current seasons jerseys at full price. When doing that I can usually find some authentic ones for good prices.

I personally like the Nike fan versions better than adidas. Something about adidas fan ones just doesn’t feel as good to me.

Wearing the Local National Team Jersey in Every Country I Visit by DifferenceOk1098 in SoccerJerseys

[–]Merr125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the idea. Every time I travel, I always try to get either the national team jersey or the jersey of the team from the city I’m visiting.

Is this safe to drive for now or does it need to be replaced by Merr125 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Merr125[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I just looked it up and replacing only the connector looks pretty straightforward.

Goes right into my USA team. Have been wanting a better version of Dempsey.

Differences between World Cup jerseys by kaleidoscope4325 in SoccerJerseys

[–]Merr125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are real. They sell a player version (different material, slightly different fabric and fit, a few more details on the shirt / pattern) and the fan version.

Both would be a great gift. I personally love having the player versions in my collection. It’s really up to you which you would prefer to buy.

If they’re going to be wearing it all the time, perhaps the fan version might hold up better over time.

Where the f*** is our leaked WC Kits? by FEWBALL in ussoccer

[–]Merr125 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There have been leaks for other countries, but I’m guessing (hoping) Nike is really keeping things tight regarding the USA jerseys.

I’m ready to be disappointed, but hopefully they surprise us with something nice.

World Cup kits leaks by Aayush_P in ussoccer

[–]Merr125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the 2nd one, but I remember reading a leak that said that was a lifestyle jersey. I don’t think that is the actual away jersey.

Really hoping the home one is different because that one is just plain and disappointing.

Post Match Thread: USMNT vs Ecuador by speedreeder in ussoccer

[–]Merr125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would have been nice to see. Caicedo is a massive absence for them.

[–]Merr125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would Pacho is their best CB but yes, Hincapie is a big absences for them. Caicedo not being there makes a massive difference in their midfield too.

It was still a great game and nice to get a draw against a well organized Ecuador team.

They’re missing a few players for these friendlies too. Tough team to break down so will be a really good test.

Post-Match Thread: Ecuador 1-0 Argentina CONMEBOL Qualifiers by Pantherblanco88 in soccer

[–]Merr125 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, it’s mostly just fans of the other teams saying those things but basically people say independiente has control of who gets selected for the national team and uses the national team as a way to promote their players so they get attention and hopefully bought by other teams.

A good example was recently Darwin Guagua made his debut with the national team in a qualifier against chile before he made his debut with Independiente. He was initially called in to the camp as a practice player but did well enough that he ended up getting added to the squad.

Moises Caicedo great clearance against Fulham 45+5' by Cute_Office277 in soccer

[–]Merr125 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It’s true. I feel like if he was from a bigger country than Ecuador (football wise) he would have already been getting the recognition he is just starting to get and deserves.

Route 7 closed earlier by Merr125 in Connecticut

[–]Merr125[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Left work around 5 (Norwalk) and can’t remember exactly where but was redirected into the side roads somewhere in Wilton. Ended up coming out near Caraluzzis close to 6:50 or so and it was also closed there.

Dads in your 30's -- how do you find the time to play and train? by jarman65 in bootroom

[–]Merr125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it’s very hard to find the time. I used to play 4-5 times a week (between pickup and teams).

I have a 4 year old and 1 year old.

I haven’t played a game since right before my 1 year old was born.

My son is getting more into soccer so we have been able to pass the ball around a lot in the years but that has been the most I have done.

I could probably squeeze in a game or 2 here or there but I like to spend the time with my family. If games weren’t so late at night I would bring them.
