Well from a non-soccer fan's perspective that was about as satisfying as the draw with Portugal...

 

 

Questions...

 

Seemed like Germany got a lot more calls than we did...?  I still don't really get what is and isn't a foul.

 

Where was our offense?  Were they intentionally playing back?  From what I've seen of USMNT that seems to be their style...

The conditions were abysmal, I'm sure both teams, with an eye on the next round, put an emphasis on avoiding injuries. I kinda sorta think they had a gentleman's agreement so they both advanced.

 

I would say this wasn't nearly as exhilarating as watching the Portugal game. My heart was in my throat the whole time. Portugal was also a much bigger letdown than this loss.

No, they didn't. Both sides "got calls" the other side complained about and the refs "missed calls" for both sides too. It is what it is.

 

You saw us play Germany, one of the best teams on the planet. No need to ask where was this and where was that or if we did this or if we did that. The answer is: we played Germany.

They did. A lot of fouls are subjective to an extent. The rules are black and white, where the opinion comes from is whether or not the ref felt it violated the rule.

 

 

A lot of our offense was on the sideline with Jozy being hurt, and most of it is funneled through Bradley,. The problem is, Bradley has been looking lackluster this cup, and today looked completely gassed from the close prior game in the hottest stadium in Brazil. There were a lot of sloppy passes today, and we lost the ball in the mid-third, which shut down any chance of attack. Good thing our defense was up for the task, because we really needed them to be.

 

US Man of the Match for me was Gonzalez. He was incredible, shutting down and clearing about 6 or 7 good chances for Germany. The kid played lights out.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Icege · Posted

      I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
