You don't.  Just root for us to win tomorrow afternoon

I will, I'm just being a realist.  A Wales + England win tomorrow (the most likely scenario) pretty much eliminates the US as England would have zero to play for vs. Wales and sit their key players.

But hopefully I'm wrong.

Yeah we really needed the win Monday but we'll see. Our best strategy is probably pack it in and play for 0-0

Not the way I thought we would get the draw. That chance in the 26th minute has got to be buried.  Still proud of the way we played. If we can't beat Iran we don't deserve to advance

That was a great game, and of the two sides, the US looked the more dangerous throughout most of the game. Should be a huge confidence booster for the next one against Iran.

 

Let's go get that win guys!

That was an awful game of football.

I do wish Southgate would take the handbrake off. He seems content to just qualify from the group by settling for draws and beating the god-awful teams. Thankfully Iran and Wales are god-awful.

Please tell me what device you are posting from? I'm not saying you're wrong about the human rights  just want to see which sweat shop your product has ties to

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And nearly every stitch of clothing we're wearing- I get it.

But last time I checked, none of that involved millions in bribes being paid to an international organization and the resulting 6,000 deaths to forced labor immigrants who were promised something completely different.

You don't think sweat shops have resulted in way more imprisonments and deaths? I agree fans shouldn't have gone and poured money into the country but fifa not holding a tourney there won't change anything.  The rest of the world can not buy oil from those countries would but everyone knows that isn't going to happen.

 

 

We also are their biggest importer so don't act like it's fine for us to take their money but watching a soccer game held there is not. 

 

 

Country Import USD$

United States $5,442,907,279

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
