Ty Simpson at the world cup with Ashton Kutcher and I think Puka Nacua lol

They are wiped out after the group round now. They used to not be wiped out until after the quarterfinals but they changed it with the expansion to 48 countries. They are wiped out again after the quarterfinals. But if you were to get a 2nd yellow in your last group game you would still be...

A good chunk will probably be backups because as davefrat said we have a number of guys on yellow cards who will need to sit. But a lot of the backups could be fun or interesting to watch. Excited to see guys like Reyna and Weah get more minutes.

In case anyone is interested, it is in the US's best interest for there to be a winner in the Qatar vs Bosnia game. A tie would be the worst case scenario for us and mean we are facing a tougher opponent in the first knockout round

Pay for play is huge. The way we develop is also a big issue. Its a layered problem that would require a concentrated effort to truly fix. Not sure if we ever get to that point but maybe a world cup run including one upset moves the needle a little. If we can make the Quarter Finals and then...

We aren't that close tbh. We would need to make some major changes to reach the elite countries level.

I hate them. It just feels so wrong and changes the flow of the game. I'm sure FIFA and Co would justify it as competitive balance because if one game has it they all should but I'm sure money was a significant factor. Overall I just don't think you should do it unless it's necessary.

Going to the France vs Iraq game today, very excited even though it should be a blow out. Hopefully Mbappe gets a goal or 2

I bet, I don't think I have seen anything specific from Atlanta but I have seen a lot from different host cities. Looks like a ton of fun

That should be a ton of fun. I am lucky enough that I'm going to a France game in Philly and a Round of 16 game in Seattle(hopefully the US make it to that game). IMO the World Cup is the greatest sporting event in the world and it is not remotely close.

The World Cup has definitely given me some real hope in humanity. Scots marching to Fenway, Nederland fans partying with Jameis Winston, German's road tripping through the south and having the time of their lives in places like Alabama and more. What's going on in Lawrence Kansas might be the...

I'm just ignoring it all and enjoying all the positive vibes from the world cup instead. So far its mostly working

Last I read it sounded like there is a decent shot he is ready to go but idk

Not getting out of the group would be a pretty epic failure. You can come in 3rd in the group and make it out. Our peak is probably round of 16. Though its not completely crazy to say we could beat someone like Belgium, I wouldn't expect it in the least bit but it's not impossible. We will not...
