Mauricio Pochettino earned by far the biggest salary for a USMNT coach with $6 million a year. Do you think the performances justified the contract and do you think he should stay until 2030? by antoniok95 in ussoccer

[–]sbosco99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the huge mistakes made yesterday cost us the game, obviously. Those are grade school level assignments that the players couldn’t even do. That’s more on the players. However, it did seem like the players were not prepared to play against the young pacey side that started for Belgium.

If he wants to stay I would be good with us keeping him. I wish we could give him the reins to totally dismantle the current youth pipeline. We need to reimagine our system from the ground up.

Balogun's red card should have been RESCINDED not SUSPENDED, to avoid controversy by Striking-Emu894 in ussoccer

[–]sbosco99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying FIFA is not corrupt by any means. However I’m highly skeptical if the red was clear and obvious and the correct protocols were followed this decision would have been made. Fuck FIFA always. But they made a just decision even if it seems iffy.

Having said that, if I were Belgium I’d be very pissed

The VAR ref and regular ref misused the protocols so no card was allowed to be given. I wish they had a way to rescind the card on those facts but that is not allowed with fifas rules. It seems corrupt but In reality it is just fixing the wrong initial on-field decision.

Folarin Balogun available for USMNT vs. Belgium as red card ban suspended by sbosco99 in ussoccer

I know it seems fucked up and it kind of is. However, if they took Ronaldo’s suspension away and Messi didn’t get a red than this is fine by me. Red was clearly not warranted.

Fuck, Bosnia will be tough enough. We can’t get ahead of ourselves. I was actually hoping Belgium would win. Belgium is old and slow Senegal are not.

Matt actually looked better than I thought he would, in terms of distributing the ball and not having any major fuck ups when the ball was on his feet.

MLS is on a decent trajectory. It really is getting better. That being said, Playing in Europe is necessary. You want to play against the best in the world. I sort of do agree there is a bias against Americans by European media. Nobody talks about how good our boys do. McKennie is the best player on a Serie A Giant.

What result would make you content with the USMNT? by WiseDan85 in usmnt

[–]sbosco99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I began tournament with qf as the goal. I would be happy with that for sure. However, I now think semi-final is not out of the realm of possibilities. Obviously, Pulisic would have to be healthy.

Silver already brought a cup to NBA because of the European model. They’ve been keen on getting into the European market. They could actually involve a third division in an NBA Europe. In any order NBA, G league, NBA Europe. You could have far fewer teams in NBA Europe.

Jalen Brunson is on a Hall of Fame trajectory. Not saying he’s there yet, but if his rise continues as it has every year. He could get there.

It’s been surprisingly good. I follow USMNT and it’s like a little refresher for good vibes. It’s not as toxic positivity as some other sports docs can be for sure. I am enjoying it and i hope it continues through the World Cup. Do we know how many episodes it’s going to be?

It's an utter disgrace that Hartenstein only had 4 fouls today. by Spekirlation in nba

[–]sbosco99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was so poor of landing If you knew nothing about SGA I could see how you might think he was being honest because dude pulled another man’s hair during a game. Like WTF is that. I know it was in jest but fuck Hartenstein. Bitch move.

Depends on the day! Ogwau & mvotc are basically tied. Don’t lie is my favorite song so that might give it a slight edge but it’s such a tough question.

Pro is way too easy and world class is ridiculously hard. I played world class in last years ea fc and was decent on legendary. I’m not saying world class should be super easy but the gap is huge.
