Counterpoint: Messi, Aguero, and Pogba were all Golden Ball winners at the U-20 World Cup. While assuming that every player that shows skill at the tournament has a bright future is foolish, excelling at a young age is usually a good sign. As an American, I wouldn’t mind having Gio and Vela on our national team.

Yeah I haven’t played much Far Cry lately but I feel like it usually involves killing a LOT of people. Unless the US government itself is falling apart in this game (which would be interesting) I’m going to have trouble suspending disbelief that there’s a running brush war in Montana/Idaho without anyone else getting…

Yeah, but she could probably manage a blow job first.

Highlight videos only tell you so much about a player, and right now I’m tempted to trust RM’s scouts when they believe a player is worth getting. Yes, €45M is probably too much, but they can afford it.

Wait, what’s wrong? I went back and read it and it’s all pretty straightforward facts. The only contestable statement is that Senegal is the best in the group.

So far this tournament has been a disaster for CONCACAF. Honduras and Costa Rica both looked pathetic in losses to France and Iran. (I get losing to France, but Iran? Seriously?) Mexico needed a last minute goal to beat Vanuatu 3-2. And now the USA looks like garbage early but ekes out the draw.

If the injury is at all serious, I genuinely believe this may be the last we see of Zelalem in a USA kit. His career is trending downwards, and he really needed this tournament to showcase what he could do. I think he needs to sort out an MLS loan and secure his future here; he doesn’t seem cut out for Europe.

I’m assuming you mean the second goal. Ecuador was pressing high up the field in order to force the USA into making mistakes. Lennon put a phenomenal cross from much deeper than the defense expected, and Sargent moved well off the ball.

No; McKennie and Taitague were requested but not released (according to the USYNT coach). Schalke says that they were ok with letting them go after the U-19 Bundesliga playoffs, which ended for Schalke last week. Because he wasn’t called up, McKennie was able to make his first team debut on Saturday.

Considering the two deaths this year have been experienced climbers, I wouldn’t be shocked to see the number be higher.

I believe that the step below “Amateur Hour” is “Incompetents Hour”

Top level athletes actually have a ton of free time. My old wrestling coach, while prepping for the Olympics, had 3 level 50 WoW characters (back when that was the cap).

Yeah I was watching an Outlast 2 stream the other day, and that thought really struck me.

Considering the relationships between Buddhists and Muslims in South Thailand, this does appear to be in particularly poor taste.

Not every goal is going to be pretty. This is a very good U-17 National Team, probably the best the USA has ever put on the field.

The German Cup (or DFB Pokal) is a 64 team cup that draws from all levels of the Bundesliga, including the entirety of 1. and 2.Bundesliga. The English equivalent would be the EFL Cup, but in terms of prestige the FA Cup would be a more apt comparison.

With armor, you never want a valley that will catch a blade. You want 1 peak with the armor sloping away on either side. Having a massive valley directly in your center of mass would get you killed.

I think it really depends on how you feel about certain mechanics. The GBA ones (Blazing Sword/Untitled & Sacred Stones) are designed to introduce new users to the FE universe as they were the first games released for a western audience. I would start with them.

He has dominated the mens’ game, though he doesn’t anymore. Serena’s longevity serves as evidence that she is the most dominant tennis player of all time. Is she better at tennis than Federer? Probably not. But all you can do is beat the people in front of you, and she has done that so well for so long that it’s hard…

Every time I travel back to the USA, it takes me a while to adjust. Everywhere in the world I’ve been it’s thin people; in the USA, people are gigantic.
