I like our squad, not a whole lot of changes I’d make.

Pepi for Jesus, anyone except Long and Malik Tillman for Roldan or Morris. Berhalter just too stuck on his mediocre MLS guys

I had Steffen over Johnson, Tillman over Roldan, Pepi over Ferreira, and Pefok over Morris.

Unfortunately, Long has to be on the roster. Robinson and Richards are hurt and Berhalter hates Brooks. Our CB depth is atrocious. Maybe you take McKenzie over Long but regardless, the depth is still horrid.

If I had to put together a depth chart for the current roster, I’d go:

GK - Turner, Horvath, Johnson

RB - Dest, Yedlin, Moore

RCB - Zimmerman, Long

LCB - Ream, Carter-Vickers

LB - Robinson, Scally

CDM - Adams, Acosta

CM - McKennie, Roldan

ACM - Musah, de la Torre

RW - Aaronson, Reyna

ST - Weah, Sargent, Wright, Ferreira

LW - Pulisic, Morris

 

I think Weah gets the surprise start at striker, I just don’t see a way that you can start Sargent, Wright or Ferreira. Even though Weah isn’t a pure striker, I think you have to try your best to put the best 11 on the pitch. Reyna, Sargent, Wright, and Acosta (if we are trying to protect a lead) all provide decent depth off the bench.

I am far from a super fan but I very much enjoy the World Cup. I keep thinking I can be a better fan so maybe this year I can learn more.

I know the controversy over the current site is old news but I found the Netflix series very interesting and keep learning more about the issues and the teams this year.   
 

Really looking forward to it but wonder what regular fans thought of the documentary?

Ecuador should come out on top of Qatar in this one.

Enner Valencia is in great form right now, he’s been a goal scoring machine at Fenerbahçe (Turkish League). Moisés Caicedo is also a breakout candidate for Ecuador, he’s been playing really well in the midfield for an overachieving Brighton (EPL) team. A good World Cup could see him moving on to a bigger club. Former Charlotte FC midfielder, Alan Franco, is on the bench for Ecuador.

Nice start for Ecuador, up 2-0 at the half. Valencia with both goals (one from the penalty spot). Nothing better than seeing a third world country show up one of the wealthiest countries in the world (though it was expected).

As for the disallowed goal, I understand the explanation, I refereed soccer for 15 years, however, the explanation doesn’t match what my eyes are seeing. Maybe someone else sees it different than I do.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
