England move on. Southgate gets a lot of flack but he gets his team deep in almost every major tournament. Think that’s now one final, two semi finals, and one quarterfinal in his four tournaments as manager.

My daughter plays college soccer and went through the whole club scene. I’m not 100% sure how it’s done in every country but from what I’ve seen of our club programs, it’s a shitshow. Or at least a money grab.

Maybe but the way they have VAR and the shitty camera angles, I would prefer they keep the call on the field. The replay they have at the Euros seems much more legit. Not sure why the EPL doesn’t use it.

Yeah. I’m not hating on our guys, they played hard tonight for 90 minutes. Thats all you can ask. I hope I’m wrong and it’s just a matter of getting the right coach in there, like many US fans think. Still got 6 minutes to shock the world…

I don’t know but this is why I always feel like we overrate our guys. I hear about how great we are and then I watch them and just don’t see it. Some of the first touches I see from our guys are painful. Uruguay just seems more talented on an individual and team basis. At least we’re playing...

US playing with passion. Fun game so far.

What other “manly” characteristics are you attracted to?

England just a more hyped, more talented version of the US team. The whole always seems to be less than the sum of their parts.

It’s weird how much power/influence the Lakers have given Lebron. He’s no longer the player he once was and he’s not really an all time Laker great. He obviously won a title there but that’s not enough for a franchise like the Lakers to be put on the level of Magic, West, Kareem, Shaq, Kobe...

They’ve never been afraid to dull themselves to champions.

Defending 800m champion , Athing Mu, fell and didn’t qualify. Brutal. One of my favorite runners to watch. Should still be available for the relays though.

Do you think the WNBA would be slightly better if the teams were part of NBA clubs, like you see in English soccer? I have no history with the names Sky and Fever and really don’t know where either play. At least with women’s college sports I have a built in reason to root for all the Notre Dame...

I typically start watching 25-30 minutes after it starts and then fast forward through halftime. Don’t stick around to watch the postgame. Enables me to get more done around the house.

I understand but I just don't think the goal of the Olympic Committee should be making the WNBA's ratings better. It should be about who is deserving and what makes the best team. I don't really think the Clark situation has any bearing on how divided our country is. I think how people view...

I know sports have changed but it just seems wrong to chose someone for the Olympics based on ratings. I don’t know the women’s game enough to comment on if she belongs solely on ability.

Sure but if in ‘99 you started whining to a group of Knicks fans about it, they would have rightfully called you out for being a hypocritical bitch. Just as any Bama fan on a ND board should be treated (with all due respect to TTT and Bishop).

Yeah, no shit. The second Saban leaves the sport isn’t worth following.

Looking forward to it. I like the 6 hour time difference, makes it easier for me to follow live events.

Agree. NBA seems wide open these days. Celtics should be in the mix but wouldn’t consider them prohibitive favorites.

I also think Tatum and Brown are way better 2 way players. I was pretty shocked at how poor of a defender Luka is (he may be banged up) and I don’t think Kyrie is above average. They are the better shot creators and that looks good in a highlight clip.
