You should have heard the guy announcing the starting lineup, he butchered about half the names. But it was a good time, was right behind the goal for the shootout

I've noticed it with a fair number of American pundits. Him, Taylor Twellman (to a lesser extent), Alexi Lalas (to a far greater extent.) I think it probably comes down to an inferiority complex where they feel that, because they're American, they are trying to prove how much they know. And ultimately it just comes off as horribly arrogant and obnoxious.

I believe it's on ESPN2 for those in the US 

Happy days, if we win we won’t get the trophy in the cabinet no one has seen the key 🔑 for 26 years. 

They refunded all the tickets, and the new tickets are like $20, so that's a bit more reasonable. Kick off is 2.5 hours earlier on Sunday I believe. Little disappointing to not get to see Arsenal and Inter, but the 20 year year old (she's full vax as well) and I will just go down Saturday stay with a friend, and try to make the best of the day Sunday. With my Everton mask of course

Thanks everyone. 
Just got her home now. Not Covid thankfully, viral infection, not coping so well with the heat. She’s been monitored for a while and sent home with three doctors agreement. She currently flat out asleep on my belly, wife flat out next to me on the couch. 
She has an inhaler to help for the next few weeks if she struggles breathing. 
 
Thanks again everyone. If I’m cranky tomorrow (more than usual) it’s because I’ll probably not sleep tonight. 

Hang in there brother, sending good thoughts

Pulisic and Zack Steffen are both from PA, so if we can get those Philly kids dribbling the proper kind of ball 

Bloody agents. 

It's the damn Brit shows via Prime that are getting me! BritBox, Acorn, Masterpiece Theater... I do snag my oldest daughters Hulu, and youngest daughters Disney (basic) and they use my NF and Prime. I've been thinking about threatening to take them both off the car insurance or make them cover the streaming stuff. Wife says I can't do that. 
Dammit 🤣

Could certainly be a factor. You would think it should apply somewhat to SoCal, AZ and SoFla as well? I believe there is a good bit of talent coming from/being developed in FL, but the current path does seem to routed through Texas to Europe.

Think it was probably a typo, he meant to say, "you're one of the best posers."

Best of luck mate. 

Keep well dude, thinking of you and family. 

Damn Yanks.
 
Oh, wait 😆

Yes, but you know as well as I do that youth soccer in this country is more of a suburban babysitter then a path towards development. It's getting better, but miles to go. 

While I would love to see us win it, I think any further wins are somewhat of a bonus. 
 
Outside of a few names, half of this team I had to look up and wasn't familiar with since almost all of the European players returned to their clubs after the Confederation Cup for a short rest before their preseason starts. 
This is actually a good opportunity for some of the smaller nations to win it, as they have most of the regular team. Not saying that we shouldn't be competing to win it, but we have an awful lot of young players playing together for the first time and some in difderent positions and while they are promising, they are just mostly very green internationally. This team is far closer to what our Olympic team should have looked like IMO, but there seems to be some pretty good young talent that could provide some good depth in the coming WC qualifiers.

Tomorrow will be my 10th year on this forum (in my time zone). Just want to say how grateful I am for MY/OUR club and to all the folks who have given me the time of day to listen to what I have to say about the club I love. 
Mike0 with his wit; Romey with his sarcasm(and overall dry-ness); Bailey with his tactics; Hafnia/pete0 with their (wrong)opinions... (jk); Steve0 is okay too. Special mention to "behind-the-scenes" Louis.
And to all of the American followers who are far more knowledgeable than all our allies across the pond, hang in there. I appreciate all the opinions on this forum, except for the ones that disagree with me.
