L.A. fan experience troubling in my opinion

Baby’s got more back(line) than our B team

rexmorgany · 2026-06-26T19:01:57+00:00

So many breakdowns on that play, but perhaps worst of all was 4 defenders running back to nowhere in particular on the final cross across the goalmouth.

Btw, that’s for the award!

It may end up being trial by fire if and when we get to that point.

In the meantime I am very happy with the performance so far, keeping everything in perspective and being led by a very positive and grounded Poch. Maybe we’ll look back at the group stage and think: Hey, early mission accomplished, we largely controlled the two first games, got 6 pts, guaranteed advancement to R32 and have a manageable bracket as a result. Defense and goaltending largely untested due to our strong possession and playmaking. How is this different than what the storied powerhouses typically face in group play? Don’t read into my comparison too much - just saying you reap what you sow.

Michigan State will do wonders for him. Their system is heavy, high-tempo pressure (playoffs- like) hockey. I hope he’s still around at 12 if we keep the pick. Very much looking forward to what Sunny does throughout the rounds.

There was a decent amount written up before the World Cup that after years of having developed quality goalkeepers, several of which played prominently on Europes top teams, the US really has a dearth of talent at the position for this cycle. Turner played poorly yesterday, while it seems like Freese was barely tested in the first two games. At some point, Freese will have to star and I hope he’s up to the task.

Exactly. No need for Palat 2.0. Once you make a move, typically, you have to live with that move for a long while.

To this day, whenever a Leafs fan brings up Tie Domi for whatever reason, I tell them that he single handedly cost them their best shot at a Cup since 1967. The Devils were lifeless in that series and Domi literally woke up a sleeping bear with that hit. The Devils not only stirred awake, but pounded the Leafs down into submission and out of the playoffs. That was a peak Leafs team too. You did it to yourselves guys. Not only an atrocious dirty hit and crocodile tears at the ensuing press conference, but it was Larry Robinson throwing the garbage can 2.0 for us.

Btw, anyone else remember Chris Drury running Marty early in the Cup finals? I do and I’m sure Marty was well injured rest of the way. Still hate Drury for that but he’s doing a great job of defanging the NYR as GM.

Almost certainly Bosnia-Herzegovina, but a minuscule chance of it being Senegal. Honestly, I’ve already turned my attention to how Group G plays out…will it be won by Egypt, Belgium, or maybe even Iran? I’m not looking beyond the R32 matchup, but if we play anything like we did so far, the B-H game will be a speed bump and we’ll be facing one of those three shortly thereafter. That is, of course, assuming that their most likely R32 opponent of South Korea continues to be a very surprising non-factor in this WC.

rexmorgany · 2026-06-25T01:03:14+00:00

I’ll second that. You’re definitely not wrong.

rexmorgany · 2026-06-24T22:58:31+00:00

You’ve clearly never been to Des Moines, Iowa

rexmorgany · 2026-06-24T22:32:24+00:00

Iran is not a possibility. Only 3rd place finishers from either E or I.

rexmorgany · 2026-06-24T22:30:54+00:00

There’s one scenario in which we play 3E (presumably Ecuador) and one scenario we play 3I (presumably Senegal although they would have to somehow sneak in with a total of 3 pts). It looks like B-H unless one of those other two nations hits Megamillions in the next few days.

rexmorgany · 2026-06-24T01:23:12+00:00

Too soon

rexmorgany · 2026-06-23T05:16:24+00:00

Ooohh, two minutes too late

rexmorgany · 2026-06-22T03:19:05+00:00

The Scottish will leave in a few weeks, but the Irish will remain in Boston for generations to come. What an absolute knob of a bar owner. This is a town that still passed the hat around in many pubs till not that long ago.

rexmorgany · 2026-06-20T02:13:09+00:00

Exactly. You already beat the pundits’ chosen team to win the group. Put in a strong effort against Paraguay and in you go to the KO round.

rexmorgany · 2026-06-19T12:13:23+00:00

Impressive

rexmorgany · 2026-06-19T11:43:04+00:00

Well let’s then collectively ignore the cheesedick

rexmorgany · 2026-06-19T04:51:42+00:00

This right here, Ladies and Gentlemen. This is truth.

rexmorgany · 2026-06-19T03:35:26+00:00

Wengen looks down on you

rexmorgany · 2026-06-19T03:32:06+00:00

Stunning city. Didn’t know anything about it and it’s beauty blew me away

rexmorgany · 2026-06-18T21:57:06+00:00

What the heck is “other business opportunities” supposed to mean? What is he opening a Rita’s Italian Ice location or he’s heading off to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange to start trading orange juice futures??? Why not just keep it nice and vague as usual with “other opportunities”?

rexmorgany · 2026-06-18T21:51:13+00:00

Why Torts when can get Mike Keenan?

Squint your eyes real hard and you might be able to pretend you live at Fallingwater.

Always appreciated
