He’s good good but it depends where your line is drawn. For me, unless he shows me a lot more than what I’ve seen, he’ll top out as a squad player for one of the big clubs. If that’s good good to you, which it is to me, then cool. He’s regressed this year, and there’s a reason why Sancho started playing above him,…

It was a shame BVB found an even younger, more talented wonderkind than Pulisic in essentially the same position  

He’s legitimately good. He’s not Lionel Messi. He’s not Eden Hazard. He’s not Neymar.

He’s certainly good good, not just American good. That’s a good goal for anyone at that level at age 20.

yes.

It’s Harry Potter. The candles float.

Ah yes, those GIGANTIC FUCKING Mazda cx-5/9...

GLE-Coupe, X4 Coupe sense.

So you actually hope it’s the CX-4 then?

It’s still a great vehicle.  Yeah, it’s small, but some people want that in a car.  And there’s nothing wrong with a small car also being good looking.

It may be a new CX-3 , but perhaps it is time to bring the China CX-4 after all, given the sudden resurgence of midsize 2 row crossovers , and because America hates a proper wagon?

Hopefully it’s a Mazda CUV ‘coupe’ thing. I don’t mind them, and I want one that’s cheap enough to actually buy.

I think Jnik keeps using that to remind us that this is the ‘special one,’ because Mazda is using SkyAcvtive all over the place. It’s especially innovative and unique to most motors, so they’re differentiating it by using a dumb superlative. Honestly, I think it works.

Did/does Mazda actually use the term “holy grail”, or did some journalist use the term and it stuck? 

Relax. It will then be killed after 2 model years because take rate will be nil.

With my luck they will have sex together in the hotel room right next to mine.

This guy and the cheerfully oblivious shrieker at the Northwestern basketball games should get together and go bowling.

David Foster Wallace wrote a good essay on the ~ 90th player in the world, and the enormous gap that exists between him and the top players: https://www.esquire.com/sports/a5151/the-string-theory-david-foster-wallace/.

What if his opponents just started shrieking every time he was about to hit a serve?

How many ranked spots does ATP have? I don’t know what I like best, that we know who the No. 548 player in the world is, or that his name is Ulises.
