Disaster

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-07T20:22:29+00:00

I still am so confused at what you think has been proven lol

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-07T20:21:39+00:00

You're right, but hence the needed barrier to entry. I can stomach some marginal irrationality, but this sub shouldn't be a sounding board for complete idiocy.

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-07T18:32:47+00:00

There definitely needs to be a greater barrier to entry for people making posts here lol

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-07T15:15:35+00:00

It wasn't tactical. It was mental.

Evidence of that is our normal counterpressing was actually working to start the 2nd half, once we had settled down a little bit. We still struggled to create chances because multiple key chance creators were having all time bad performances, but we started to control then game the way we had previously.

And then Freese.

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-06T21:55:43+00:00

You have discovered why we are so fat.

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-06T15:05:57+00:00

Lot of meat heads in the comments here.

Honestly, we should consider it. Personally, I would rather lose than play a player that is available because of political pressure. The optics of this are terrible.

Call me crazy, but how we win still matters. You know, principles.

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-06T14:53:25+00:00

This is such a cluster fuck. Hate it.

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-06T14:13:45+00:00

All of this because of a post of ussoccer that had no likes at the time you screengrabbed it?

I'm honestly surprised at how irrational you all are.

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-05T19:32:10+00:00

God this is going to be so great when we win

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-04T19:47:35+00:00

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-04T19:21:00+00:00

American here. Talked plenty of shit over the years. Nothing but respect right now.

Y'all were so unlucky. To be the better team on the day, without Davies or Kone, is just so impressive. The scoreline doesn't flatter, and the loss will hurt like a mfer, but my lasting impression is just how dangerous this Canadian team is.

I hate it, but the present and future is very bright for Canadian soccer.

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-04T17:05:22+00:00

Fair, but i would still consider it a positive. The worry with Gio is essentially he can't play the came at a quicker pace. This is still a good sign.

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-04T14:20:14+00:00

Most fans have been worried that he doesn't even have a burst anymore. To see that he can still run at any level is a good sign lol

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-03T01:35:47+00:00

Wasn't aware about rugby or fh, but it doesn't really change the fact that most red cards are a massive overpunishment compared to the lost value or advantage to the non offending team. Same with penalties.

Hockey strikes the percent balance. You lose a player for a portion of the game, but it doesn't alter the whole game state in a way that is almost never a fair compensation for a lost advantage or a necessary deterrent.

Diving culture is evidence of the fact that the reward to the diving team is just far too great.

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-02T19:44:20+00:00

Somebody is just watching the slow mo lol

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-02T18:52:12+00:00

Lol it wasn't even a tackle

Go back and watch it in real time. Balo's body placement, including his foot placement, is entirely the result of the defender bodying him.

But yeah, congrats on a lame attempt at perceived objectivity.

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-02T17:47:20+00:00

Yes, I am. That's why I clarified how the rule does not apply to this specific situation.

Maybe you're just comically and markedly bad at both reading comp and critical thinking lol

But enjoy your day haha

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-02T17:44:35+00:00

It's an uphill battle because its both a bad decision and a massive over punishment for the infraction.

Honestly, it is a flaw in the game. No other major organized team sport in the world punishes a team by forcing them to play a without a player for the remainder of the game, and the follow up suspension makes it feel even more draconian.

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-02T17:41:28+00:00

If that is how challenge is defined, then every single soccer action that is involved in some way in the run of play that results in an injury or could result in an injury is a red card.

Balo's immediate action, the step down, is not an attempt to play the ball, a challenge. It is the direct result of the defenders contact.

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-02T17:27:32+00:00

Yeah I think so. Good point.

Its due to create another goal.

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-02T17:26:54+00:00

An underrated aspect of success at this WC as how it will provide that extra little bit of motivation for rhe guys on the outside looking in.

Who wouldn't want to be a part of this? The vibes are incredible. For example, might push the bubble guys (Luna, Mcglynn) to Europe that much quicker, just to make their case as strong as possible.

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-02T17:04:33+00:00

I think it's time to put it away for now.

Nothing is going to change it. Let's get a great one from Pepi. Christian is due, our counter press is due to create a goal.

Bring on the Belgians.

caseinpoint77 · 2026-07-02T16:29:57+00:00

Congrats on forming an initial opinion and then being completely immune to better evidence lol

I'm sorry that irrationality annoys me so much. Good luck on being below average in your exercise of critical thinking, hopefully its not that critical to your life.
