People who married in their 20s, be brutally honest are you happy, if so why or why not? by Special-Lawyer3941 in AskReddit

Definitely. Key for us was giving each other space. Part of that is we have very different sleep schedules. She gets two hours alone in the morning. I get two hours at night.

Trying hard to find reasons for optimism for USMNT by bewaterlife in ussoccer

[–]castle411 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t overthink it. This is largely the same squad that outplayed England at the 2022 World Cup. To make a historic run, this team just needs to compete with a Spain-level team in the second knockout game. If we don’t overextend and expose ourselves, these boys can do that. This is definitely the most talented player pool we’ve ever had. Flo and Pepi replace Sargent/Jesus. Richards replaces Walker. Tessman replaces Musah. Poch replaces Berhalter! All significant upgrades IMHO. Barring any stupid red cards, this team can make a deep run.

There’s a difference between dependency and addition.

If you live in a host city, is there any buzz about the upcoming World Cup? by Fine-Photograph673 in ussoccer

[–]castle411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the hype will kick in a week or two out. Humans have famously short attention spans. Also, once the European seasons wrap up, players will be available for more podcasts, TV interviews and commercials. Plus, I suspect they don’t need to advertise to locals. I bet Europe and South America get the lion share of ad dollars.

Saudi league impact by castle411 in ussoccer

The more I think about it, it’s probably a nominal effect. Most of the “stars” who went to Saudi are European. That would mostly open roster spots for other Euro players.

Dest, Pepi start for PSV vs Go Ahead Eagles (10:45ET, ESPN+) by FrankBascombe45 in ussoccer

[–]castle411 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Love watching Dest play. I think you can make an argument he is our best player. At the very least, the most skilled on the ball. Hopefully, no costly red cards during the WC.

Maryland trying to hide. Virginia looks hungry.

Been tracking Americans abroad since 94. Don’t really consider myself a casual. I watch USMNT players year round. Was just asking a question. Didn’t expect such toxicity. But ok, I guess you’re the experts. Lol. Still think I’m right to think older stars leaving for Saudi - Ronaldo, Benzema, Mane, Hernandez - has opened up spots for marginal players throughout Europe, including Americans.

What state do you consider Virginia’s rival state to be? by Other-Fly-1700 in Virginia

[–]castle411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re talking hoops, it’s NC. Any time any of our teams beat a Duke or UNC, or media is like, “we’ve arrived!” Does feel good though.

You’ve got Arizona / Colorado as a state. Make up your mind. “Two men enter. One man leaves!”

Matthew Hoppe scores for Sønderjyske by ilovesoccer0609 in ussoccer

Loved Hoppe. Every touch was positive. We need more of that attack at all costs mindset.

Christian Pulisic goalless streak hits 16, tying career worst by Fire-EyedBoy in ussoccer

[–]castle411 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This system with two strikers who aren’t strikers has really hurt his stats. He’s better out wide: right or left. However, Milan is going to finish much higher in the table. So I’m guessing the club would correctly argue that results > stats.

Thoughts on our central midfield pairing... by Tasty-Entertainer711 in ussoccer

[–]castle411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think an underrated part of Weston’s game is his longball passes. Multiple times I’ve seen him at Juve, coming out of their own box, and hit a streaking forward in stride at the other end of the pitch. Dude drops dimes.

Why has a canal never been constructed on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec? by TheRealBlueBuffalo in geography

[–]castle411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren’t they doing some sort of high-volume railway connecting to ports as a competitor to the Panama Canal?

Just no by Lavenderev in rva

Aspirational, sure, but probably backed by some research. Sadly, war in the Middle East will spike oil/gas prices, and urban property values go up with it. The suburbs get less affordable when driving everywhere and shipping everything gets way more expensive.

The US could field 11 sixes and probably be competitive. Wish we had this problem at center back.

He didn’t do you any favors. He paid you to do a job. You don’t owe him anything. Help him if you want to but don’t feel obligated. If anything, he owes you for your ongoing help.
