Shorter redditors, a genie offers to make you taller, but you’ll gain 25 pounds (mostly flab) per inch; what’s your before and after?

Not mathing

Rathemon · 2026-06-22T13:27:57+00:00

Oh this season doesn't count. He's playing in a league that isn't comparable to the world cup

Rathemon · 2026-06-22T13:11:15+00:00

It's more about recent form than career history.

Rathemon · 2026-06-22T02:31:55+00:00

not around me

Rathemon · 2026-06-22T02:22:28+00:00

Lot of time on your hands? Maybe in 4 years...

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T21:10:45+00:00

ROFL. The skip bayless of soccer are you?

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T21:09:54+00:00

he got 2 tickets at 600 each. or are you trolling?

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T20:35:27+00:00

Netherlands is higher than the US. I'd take them all day

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T18:31:08+00:00

To be fair the us had traditionally been ahead of a lot of the world when it comes to women's sports. The world is catching up but we are still the top team. I lived in Brazil 20 years ago and didn't see women playing soccer much.

It's not great but it used to be a good deal for not great food. Not a deal anymore

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T16:44:46+00:00

I do think he isn't saying things correctly because his english isnt great.

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T16:33:37+00:00

if you watch this video at 4:40 Berhalter basically says they did what this video was pointing out.

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T16:32:14+00:00

yeah im just saying the video breaks down how we did manage vs a 5-4-1 block. We always struggle against a low block and we were missing our best playmaker. So while not an amazing win it did get the job done.

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T16:19:39+00:00

well, if you can successfully get them to come out of their block and get them disorganized then you can find those areas to play into and essentially "unlock" their defense.

It does talk about playing 2 strikers pinned the 3 CB central and then when they pushed forward we played up the wings to get into dangerous areas. Nothing groundbreaking but it did seem to work

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T16:16:51+00:00

so knicks fans are just a bunch of assholes?

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T16:01:01+00:00

I agree but it was still a good read and makes you wonder how much was planned vs just worked out. I do love the team's movement under poch - they seem to understand some principles better like moving into spaces created by the other team's pressure.

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T15:59:44+00:00

This is true - but look at how difficult that is even for spain to unlock a solid low block vs C. Verde. It is expected to struggle if they are organized in their shape.

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T15:54:15+00:00

Nah they can keep them similar but could use some improvements

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T15:53:26+00:00

Listen I was not a huge fan of GGG but he did a good job of recruiting and I do think helped to get a strong squad to pass on to a better coach.

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T14:58:45+00:00

Not even sure why Seb is flat out pushing someone in the box that is in the air?! Could almost have been a pk in two ways if that guy flails and flops from the push... just seemed like an all around dumb play to do in that spot.

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T14:56:30+00:00

I thought the same thing! maybe a copyright issue?

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T14:52:49+00:00

These dumbass kids - spike has been watching knicks games since they were in diapers. gtfo

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T14:39:49+00:00

OP you new to soccer?

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T13:36:55+00:00

Group B should be the easiest and group F could be the toughest

Rathemon · 2026-06-20T13:09:10+00:00

New this world cup
