I love the theory you are all posing above about playing with Christian, Reyna, or any one of the talented young guys in that false nine 4-3-3 style that has been so prevalent all across world football this past decade. It is certainly the best way for Gregg to get the most talented players from...

I think the only real chance at a "World Cup" number 9 for the USA in the next 7-8 months to emerge is Daryl Dike. We desperately need his size up top, and the other options Pepi, Ferriera, Sargent, or even Pefok just don't have the size for the hold up play, counter attacking style number 9 we...

I think this draw is "fair". Of the remaining teams, most would say City, Liverpool, and Bayern are the top three in that order. Bayern and Liverpool get winning draws to face off in the semis, and City faces likely the sixth best team remaining from the draw, and then would face either the 4th...

That right there is why you always pray your team makes the tournament! Program building win right there, hopefully leads to good performance on Friday and momentum into a hopefully very exciting 2022-2023 season! Go Irish!

Yes, I’m hoping that the coaches are drilling that into him during the break. He needs to realize the jumper is not there tonight, and score by attacking. I doubt they pull this out without him at least getting near 12-15 points in the second half. Dane has been non existent as well. Good call...

Welp, that was a tough final eight minutes. Wesley has been a huge disappointment. The kid is too talented to play like this for 40 mins, hopefully he can turn it around in the second half. Playing himself out of the lottery with this performance.

I mean City had 4-5 really solid chances, and hit the post twice. I think their expected goals was around 3, for anyone that cares about that. It just was one of those days, where nothing was going in. It wasn't like Palace played some amazing shutdown defense. Just my two cents. No idea how...

I’m 30, and Mike Brey is all I’ve ever known when it comes to ND basketball. He deserves the upmost respect for what he has done for this program. The Kentucky Elite 8 game was an all time classic, and I truly believe that team was good enough to win a National Championship which is an...

Yeah, I agree with you. Unfortunately, Bracket Matrix has Davidson at 100 brackets, and ND at 54 as of now, so not sure if the people that decide these things will see it that way.

The best thing for the program, and the ability to continue the great recruiting, is to make the tournament. That is why I’m passionate about today. Obviously, I realize the chances of this team even making a sweet 16 run is slim to none.

I should note that they were 35th before this loss. I have to imagine this will drop them into the 40’s Regardless, not a good result for the Irish at all.

This Davidson loss could be a complete disaster for ND. 27 wins, and KenPom 35th ranked team. Have to assume they are safely in

I wish I had your optimism. Bracket Matrix has us in 80 of 140 brackets as of now (http://bracketmatrix.com/). Not bad odds, but still think we’ll be left out because of the lack of quality wins. We shall see

These past few days could not have gone much worse for ND. Bubble teams making deep runs in conference tournaments, and ND leaving a bad final performance out there for the committee. Seth Davis tweeted that he has us out, and I’m starting to lean that way as well. Hope that I’m wrong, because...

Yep, to the question posed by Rogue basically this. I have been surprised so far that Jack has only played as a winger in Pep's system. I thought he would play as more of an attacking mid position at times. He just isn't really agile / quick enough to excel as a winger in Pep's system. Sterling...

On top of the fact that David Silva and Grealish don't even play the same position in Pep's system. Grealish has been fine, some advance stats show him at the top of the league for chances created. (https://www.squawka.com/en/premier-l...ances-created/) He has certainly not looked like a 100m...

What “saved” the match was Milner not getting sent off for an obvious second yellow. Paul Tierney had no guts to make the correct call. Liverpool fan spitting at the City coaching staff, nothing new for the wonderful human beings that frequent Anfield on the weekends. What a joke

The guy deserves a break from the daily grind of club football, I have no idea how some of these guys have/had been doing it for 40+ years. Alex Ferguson, Carlo Ancelotti, etc.. It would be a major disappointment if he doesn't win the champions league at City in the next two seasons, but we will...

City have a long history of missing out on their top transfer targets all the way back to Kaka when the takeover first happened. (RVP, Maguire, Messi, Frankie De Jong, Sanchez, Van Dijk...just to name a few.) It's a tough business, and hopefully they have some contingency plan in place so that...

I am not sure if it has ever been "publicly" acknowledged, but it fairly well known that Haaland has a release clause that will kick in next transfer window. Every top club in Europe will be in play, at the price that has been reported for the release clause, It will just come down to whomever...
