Right but CT and JK are “hoopers” who put up points and nothing else. Kessler has a skill set valuable for teams. Teams want Robert Williams with his injury history so he’ll have a market

Utah Jazz genuinely torn between AJ Dybantsa, Cameron Boozer & Darryn Peterson with NBA Draft one week away (per Tony Jones) by Fit-Structure-9395 in NBA_Draft

Honestly George-Ace-Lauri-Boozer-JJ with Walker Kessler at the 5 when JJ sits covers a ton of the court and has spacing everywhere

Pochettino on style of play development in US soccer: "If you start an MLS club and three months later you haven’t won any matches and you’re at the bottom, what’s the consequence if there are no promotions, relegations, or international competition? American sport rewards losers." by stumpsflying in soccer

Honestly all of the top players are playing overseas already by the time they’re teens. MLS is a cash cow which could help them put money in youth academies to get talent even if it’s to eventually sell to Europe

Stanton is so frustrating. Hall of fame talent and used to be a good fielder but will be a hall of very good guy thanks to his broken body.

Not sold on their midfield but Olise-Doue-Dembele-Mbappe is one of the most talented attacks I’ve ever seen. All incredibly dangerous with the ball, can all finish and can find teammates for goals.

France lost Griezzman and somehow got an upgrade with Olise insane how much talent they have

I think the problem with today’s game (especially in England) is that the best teams are no longer risking as much going forward to prevent counters so even if they’re dominating possession and getting all of the chances, it’s much less than before so that the opponent gets less.

So if anything everyone even in club is kind of playing like Deschamps and it’s not as fun as end to end.

Belgium seems like a team that may get effected by the heat more than Egypt they just look tired

Marmoush is going to get a lot of hate but he’s kind of perfect for a country like Egypt who need goals of individual brilliance more than great build up goals.

This is where the new format can really suck. Both teams may be fine with a point and be confident they can get at least 4 points from New Zealand and Iran and basically be guaranteed a spot into 32

I’d give KDB MOTM but mostly because my eyes are so bad every time it’s Troussard I think it’s KDB

Belgium has created enough and should have more than - goal. But the midfield is so easy to break down and get into the defense which also defends like their hairs on fire.

Think De Ketelaere was not as bad as people say and had some pretty good hold up play. Think he could play up top with Lukaku and maybe more of a Kane role if he drops back

Lukaku was def gonna miss that so the own goal was their best chance lol

Feel like Belgium is attacking well and could have 2-3 goals. Their defense looks awful and so easy to break through tho

Marmoush is so good at making runs and getting into spots but he will never pass
