Way I look at is: these tickets were worth the price I paid when I bought them. So what changed? Someone else got similar tickets for less? Good for them.
The fact they’re giving me anything for free is a nice bonus imo. I don’t understand what people are salty about, honestly.

Nothing I disagree with there, but come see me in about five years regarding whether I’d rather have Lando or Cavans career. We haven’t even seen Cavan play on a big stage yet. MLS, although much better than it was 15 years ago, is not a World Cup.

Her constituents were clearly against it? Where you getting that?
She’s coming across like a petulant child instead of a leader interested in what’s best for the city. It passed and the city is now on the hook. Best to act like an adult and help figure it out. Actually it’s mostly figured out, all she needs to do is not continue to be a roadblock.

Oh that’s the gist, but while the ad calls out the army of bots involved in other prediction markets, it conveniently ignores that they’re likely all over this one too.
defdans
Yeah this is me too. $5 is my standard bet. I’m down about $120 overall but truly it’s a cost of entertainment for me. Games I wouldn’t care about are interesting if I’ve got $5 on it.
defdans
I have a hard time imagining more than maybe 4 players you could conceivably put above him.
And sure, his club career wasn’t exceptional, but it doesn’t seem like that’s what we’re measuring here.
I’m excited about Cavan but he’s got a long way to go and a lot that has to go right over the next 15 years.
defdans
Fluke? Is that really the way you view that goal?
We shouldn’t have needed that goal to advance, I’ll give you that. But fluke? I completely disagree.
defdans
Ok I’ll bite. Are we talking about the best American soccer player ever or the best usmnt player ever? There is absolutely zero doubt he’s one of the best usmnt players ever.
defdans
Agreed. Probably both of them pitch in game 4 unless one of them is needed in long relief earlier in the series.
defdans
Guy says don’t change things then says move to a 3 man rotation and make decisions like there’s no tomorrow.
I expect we’ll see Jax in game 4 and Seymour out of the pen depending on game situations. That would mean Martinez is available in relief late in the series.
defdans
For his overall career and overall as a player, exactly what i expected. He’s one of the best American players ever.
As far as his usmnt impact specifically, he’s been a disappointment. He’s 5th in goals, and unlikely to catch Dempsey, Donovan or altidore. And he failed to take us any further than we’ve been before, despite having arguably the most talent around him.

Have you been to st Pete recently? I’m assuming you haven’t.

This is a great collection. Honestly, very restrained but solid. You’re missing quacks and RA in my opinion. Otherwise, chefs kiss.

9 AM on a Wednesday ?!? Oh dearie me!

X-rays negative, day to day. Pheeeeew.

I’m on the same plan, no text for me yet either.

What are you guys talking about? No desire or drive? He made run after run after run. Yes, most of them were offsides and so he did not play well at all. But no drive or desire? Come on.
The defender figured him out. The moment he touches the ball, put a body on him. If he’s gonna contribute he’s gonna have to figure out how to deal with that approach as it’s what he’ll see the rest of the tournament.
So while it’s fair to criticize his play last night, at least talk about what actually happened. He made 50 sprints in the game, most of anyone other than Aaronson and he only played a small part of the game.

Ology is awesome. Very chill vibe and whatever you’re in the mood for they’ve got.

This thing is 5.1 pounds. Carbon fiber seems unnecessary. But just my opinion.
defdans
Can I add a sling to this without any drilling or other shenanigans? If so, any suggestions for one?
defdans
Thanks!

You know, for awhile I felt like this and I think there is definitely some of this going on. But the more I play the more I think some of it is just dudes with those kind of mechanics who lack in other areas. My buddy and I played a twos game and almost ff because the other team was so absurdly good. Just precision air dribbling and resets, etc. We ended up beating them because even though we can’t do most of that stuff, we play fast, avoid double commits, pass and have learned (as much as you can) how to defend that type of plan. Biggest thing is don’t let them have time and space. Don’t let them take it to the wall, bump every chance you get, etc. maybe these guys were smurfs, but maybe they practice mechs and aren’t that good at the rest of the game, so high diamond is where they belong?

Thanks, dude! Great work, just downloaded it, now I gotta figure out what car to apply it to.
Of course they won’t.
