I’m still jealous of the ice bag guy. Delpo is all legs and that’s just...what a job!

Harvey is already coaching the U-23s and she should have all her licenses, so I can only imagine USSF would go that route. It seems too obvious, though. She is a great recruiter, no doubt.

Rafa making cheeky comments with the interviewer. You should watch it when you get a chance because it’s the funny side of Rafa he rarely shows when speaking English.

Hey, have you seen this interview? (It’s Nina btw.)

I’m not sure if it’s Kling’s back injury or what, but she didn’t look good last year at all. Short seems to be the favorite, but at least she’s a defender unlike Long. I don’t get why she would break up the best defense the USWNT has had in years to play a 3-5-2. The increased offensive output explanation doesn’t cut…

Fantastic post.

If they stick with this 3-5-2 and lose a couple of the friendlies they tentatively have scheduled against Brazil, Japan, and...I forget the other team, the Reign may be looking for a new manager. Even Fan Lauletta (that’s a typo and I’m keeping it) is speaking out against this Allie Long experiment on his latest at…

Wambach, whose relatively tall, sturdy build is also ideal for a defender, only got her opportunity to become the world’s leading goal scorer after Ellis — back when she was the Under-20 National Team coach — relented on her idea to convert Wambach into a center back.

Jill Ellis has ruined this team.

In terms of the keepers, no matter how well Harris or Naeher do, I think it’s more imperative to develop a young talent. It’d be nice to see younger keepers getting a chance on the main stage.

Yeah. I’m okay with either keeper but part of me thinks their sample size for (the national team) is too small. Ellis just needs to say she’s picked Naeher and be done with it—and I quite like Harris but it’s clear where Jill rates her. I dislike how woso media seemingly doesn’t question her or her choices very hard.

No way is that goal on Harris, though.

Well, you’re in for a treat because the games will actually be on Lifetime.

I’m mostly upset that Perez probably won’t be running for governor of Maryland. I’m not sure who Democrats will run against Hogan, but I’m hoping Perez has that as a priority.

The sad thing is, the people upset about Ellison losing to Perez only have Ellison’s team to blame. (Kinda like what they say about Clinton in the general election, no?) The smear campaigns against both men were gross, but ultimately it was underhanded tactics by Ellison’s team that likely swung the vote.

Now that you mention it, Black Mirror needs a tennis episode.

This also undersells the skill of Paire, who is a tricky opponent and can take out anyone (it’s always conditioning with him), but was dreadfully premature since Cilic won the match with a 6-2 third set.

Definitely stay away from outdated language like that. Even if it’s used correctly, it’s just not a good look.

I’d certainly hope so. He runs his mouth too much for me, but it’s worse when he’s paired with Johnny Mac (who, as Nick said, knows everything).
