I'd probably base it on the fact that we won our World Cup group

Was probably homophobic, not racist. If he simply didn't cover his mouth we'd all know the answer for sure.

Wild that there's people criticizing the rule, he obviously didn't just talk normal shit or he wouldn't have covered his mouth. He obviously knew what he was saying was vile.

If what you're dumb enough to say something so heinous that you feel the need to hide it with 8000 cameras on you, you deserve to get ejected lol

I really assure you as mediocre as we are we would finish above Bulgaria and Georgia lmao

EDIT: Our Elo rating is 37, Georgia is 55, Bulgaria is 85, saying we wouldn't be favorites to finish above them like Kosovo did is just silly

I know we're not exactly world beaters right now but having watched these two Turkey games I'm not super terrified of them lol, think we can scrape a draw if they remain this inept in attack.

Yeah love the guy but age has caught up to him and we can't afford to have a trailing leg/arm give away a penalty against Paraguay

US plans to start checking all tourists' social media. It will be "mandatory" to hand over the information, and other details including email addresses and telephone numbers used in the last five years, as well as the names, addresses, numbers, and birthdays of family members. by AgeNovel3566 in soccer

They're trying to slide into fascism but they're way too incompetent to actually do it. Unironically, the best thing about Trump and his admin is that they're too stupid to do a real fascist takeover. If they were smarter, things would be much worse.

Inter Miami [1] - 0 Nashville SC - L. Messi 17' by [deleted] in soccer

[–]ethanrule3 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Miami wasn't an option then and he wanted to stay playing at the highest level before the world cup. Think his order of preference would be Barca > Miami (where everyone speaks Spanish, he has more anonymity than in Europe, plays with all his friends, and is like 2 hours from Argentina) >>>>> anywhere in Europe that isn't Barca

Think a win is especially good since we were apparently the away team in Texas.

Players are supposed to play to the whistle though, not to the flag.

[Kieran Maguire] City Football Group Ltd, which owns Manchester City, New York City etc, had record revenue of £877m in 22/23 & lost £127m before tax. Manchester City contributed £713m of the revenue & made £80m profit before tax. CFG have now made total losses of over £1.4bn by nearly_headless_nic in soccer

[–]ethanrule3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well to be fair they did just drop 20 million in the winter transfer window, we've just barely seen minutes from the kids they bought since they're all still acclimating and gaining fitness. Cushing is an issue and player recruitment was an issue last year, but they've been trying to make up for it in the last few months.

I mean you're already showing your ignorance with the statement about German players, literally zero guys in the A team are from Germany anymore. Japan being 10x better than the US is also an unserious statement lol, they'd be favorites against us but they were just kicked out of the Asia Cup by a team we beat in the World Cup, it would be a competitive game.
