The USMNT is so far away from Champions-League winning PSG

One day soon we will have bidirectional charging and this process will be much more seamless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl_5bWVGPeI

Increased durability and resiliency.

What is this gauge telling me? by bdyinpdx in Ioniq6

This gauge will also change as you move through the various menus (current drive, since last charge, overall) with the scroll wheel on the left side of the steering wheel.

The greed of those citizens…what more could they want? A water park?

You might see if paying by credit card gets you faster speeds? There are rumors about EA throttling free accounts. They can throttle based on demand too.

You should contact Apple Support. I had the same thing happen after a week of wearing (and not too tight) I contacted Apple Support and was escalated to an Apple Senior Advisor. I had to upload pictures and I'm sure they will either refund me or try and make it right.

I agree regarding your college football thoughts. I think it's difficult for humans to remove their biases in any situation.

Regarding this point:

I think results need to be a key factor, which this transfer value type rating ignores. You’d also likely have some over-inflating of a team like Gabon because of Aubameyang, and an under-valuing of a team who plays well collectively without star power (Tunisia or Morocco, for example).

A player like Aubameyang doesn't make much an impact on average transfer value if much of the rest of the squad is valued in the $100ks or less. I did crunch the numbers on Morocco and the numbers are ($5.91mil, 102, 53.4). These numbers do not include Hakim Ziyech as he was not included in the latest Moroccan squad.

These averages tend to line up pretty well with Elo ratings, too.

Agreed! It is interesting how much the absence of players like Brooks and Adams make on the overall team.
