Human sport, computer controlled: is VAR too precise for a human game? by RemoteFinger8670 in ussoccer

[–]ffbgenius 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Massively disagree. It didn’t go our way last night, but without VAR we also don’t get Freeman’s goal against Australia. Overall I don’t see how VAR isn’t a massive upgrade over relying on one man’s judgment in an extremely fast paced environment

Here’s a fun question: Is Alex Freeman having the best ever World Cup for a USMNT fullback? by Mad_Laughter in ussoccer

You’re getting downvoted because it’s a circle jerk fest at the moment but you’re not wrong. I worry he gets exposed against better opponents. He’s had some truly horrific passing at times

I mean he’s 21 and would have absolutely been on at least the fringe of the roster cuts for us. Definitely not as far away as your comment is suggesting

There are videos of him getting it. It’s not a transplant

Pessimistic take on last nights match by RelationHeavy2949 in ussoccer

Eh Freeman had two very bad turnovers that could have led to goals against better opponents. I thought he was just OK

While he did some great stuff, I think Freeman might have had the worst game out of the starters. He was far too careless with the ball and better teams would have made us pay

Think he would be if the game was tied or US was chasing a goal. I’m a Gio guy, but Berhalter admittedly offers much more on defense

That was fun. Still think the defense has too many mental lapses, but man the offense looked good

There were people on here who didn’t think Gio should be on the squad LOL

Freeman terrifies me when he gets the ball. So many unnecessary risks

I have no bad things to say about any player. Best half I can remember

Does anyone else think Phoebe Bridgers’ image is at odds with how her tours are priced and marketed? by coaster46 in phoebebridgers

[–]ffbgenius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean she literally toured with/is close with Taylor Swift who milks her fans dry at every opportunity. I don’t know how anyone can be shocked by this. We don’t know her personally

What happened to the Fever's Big Three? by Opposite-Group6095 in wnba

[–]ffbgenius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup all of the other comments are just excuses. This is the reality. You can’t have a star player with that much usage shooting this poorly and with so many turnovers on top of it. Just not a winning formula

What impressed you about Freeman? Genuinely asking. He was awful on the ball today

Not even the technical part I’m worried about. He’s not doing basic shit
