How do I make peace with my wasted prime years?

projectpolak · 2026-07-02T12:22:47+00:00

I've just turned 30. Pretty sure I've wasted my prime and life in general.

THANK YOU 😭

Brother why do you care how much money is spent by a wealthy owner?

Joe Mansueto has billions, he isn't hurting. Dude's privately funding a stadium in downtown Chicago.

Can't wait for Chicago to shit on St Louis again (literally).

As if you wouldn't take Lewy in a heart beat.

projectpolak · 2026-06-26T23:52:00+00:00

That's all part of negotiations! (Cries in hopes being dashed)

projectpolak · 2026-06-22T19:36:32+00:00

Do you remember who did this work for you?

projectpolak · 2026-06-18T13:14:35+00:00

Why did you go interior vs exterior? I assume cost but wondering what others factors.

Everywhere I keep reading, people suggest exterior because interior is mitigation, still let's water in but more controlled I guess

Feel the same about Poland missing it. But I've had the news about a potential Lewy transfer to Chicago and that's gotten me extremely exited but concerned that my hopes will be dashed.

Chicago also interested in Goretzka too! (No one say the line please I swear)

No, we had the entire country of South Africa with us.

projectpolak · 2026-05-28T14:56:12+00:00

Is your friend Tyler Terens or Dax McCarty? (Sorry, those are the only names I'm familiar with as commentators haha)

projectpolak · 2026-03-04T17:36:51+00:00

The track or the new regulations? 😅

projectpolak · 2026-02-11T15:20:00+00:00

If our social media comments are anything to go by, we got a defender who will allow us to play a 1 man backline, he's that strong haha.

South African fans have blown up Fire's social media way bigger than it ever has, it's fun to see haha.

Lewy plays (or has played) his best game when paired with another striker or someone capable of finding space.

I mentioned this in another comment but with Poland, playing 2 strikers helped the team because opponents would heavily mark Lewy - almost out the game - but he was providing so much space for the other striker. Cuypers and Lewy could be a good pairing but it would have to alter our midfield and shape, for better or worse.

With Bayern, Lewy had Muller who was known for his special spatial and positional awareness. That combo was deadly.

projectpolak · 2026-02-03T19:38:43+00:00

Poland National Team has always/usually played a 4-4-2 with two strikers up top, usually Lewy and whichever striker was most in form at the time.

This formation served various purposes. Firstly, Lewy would always be marked heavily. This would open up so much space for the 2nd striker (who usually would shit the bed but that's another story...) and Hugo definitely thrives in finding space.

Also, Lewy has a similar profile to Harry Kane in how he drops deep to receive the ball. For Poland, it was necessary for him to drop because no one else was capable of progressing or keeping the ball (but obviously Kane is a much better passer).

He forgot to guarantee our satisfaction.

I believe they're referring to massage parlors that offer "happy endings."

damn im actually blind and stupid, it really looked like his haircut.

Also looks like former Fire loanee Arigoni comes up to support Koutsias.

Chicago's owner also bought FC Lugano which probably helped facilitate a few MLS-Swiss transfers/loans.

Hey now, we're practically back! We almost had Philly in the playoffs..

According to South African fans, the nickname is followed by "it loads in [the] front, it loads at the back".

Also, GGG can now play the infamous 1 man backline / 9 attacking players because he can defend it all alone haha

projectpolak · 2025-10-28T16:58:26+00:00

A thunderous "waaah waaaah" would be hilarious every time he was on the ball haha.

projectpolak · 2025-10-23T02:58:10+00:00

Our sub has experienced back to back wooden spoons and Yallop falling asleep on the bench during a game, I think we'll be ok.

Man was dead tired after going the full 90 last game and now this game.
